NOTE ON A TOOTH OF ELEPHAS NAMADICUS 
By CHARLES W. ANDREWS, D.Sc. 
^ ^ I^HE tooth on which Dr. Andrews has been kind enough to write 
JL the following note was found by a native on Bukit Besar, Nawngchik, 
and sold to us at Ban Sai Kau.’ 
This specimen seems to be of considerable interest on account of the 
locality in which it was found. It is an upper molar of Elephas namadicus^ a 
species found in the Upper Siwalik beds, particularly in the Nabada valley. I 
have also received remains of this animal from Burma (near Mandalay) quite 
lately, but never from further south. Of course the Siwalik fauna is known 
to occur in Sumatra and Java, though I do not think that this particular species 
has been recorded from these islands. In any case, the occurrence of this tooth 
in the Peninsula helps to bridge over one of the gaps in the area over which 
the Siwalik fauna extended. 
The age of E. namadicus was probably late Pliocene or early Pleistocene.
