SIWALIK AND NARBADA PROBOSCIDIA. 
Second upper true molar . — Two specimens of the second upper true molar of 
this species are represented in fig. 3 of the above quoted plate of the “ Fauna Antiqua 
Sivalensis” and are described as follows : “ Superb palate specimen containing 
the penultimate true molar in situ on both sides. The tooth is proved to be the 
penultimate by its large dimensions, and by the circumstance that two or three 
ridges of another tooth (third true molar) are seen behind it. The crown ridges are 
all more or less worn and partly damaged by fracture, but enough remains to show 
that the tooth was composed of six ridges and a hind-talon. The palate is very flat, 
and the teeth on either side (in the erect position of the skull) slope upwards from 
without inwards. The teeth have very little cement. The slope of the grinding 
surface from without inwards is a mastodontoid character. In JEleplias {Stegodon) in- 
signia the tendency of the grinding surface is to shelve upwards from the inside 
outwards. Length of molar 8'2 inches, width 4’ inches.” 
A very similar specimen to the above is exhibited in the Indian Museum, 
collected by Mr. Theobald in the Hushiarpfir district. The penultimate molar 
in that specimen is well worn, and carries six straight and low ridges, and a hind- 
talon. The tooth, except in the matter of size, agrees in every detail with Falconer’s 
specimen. Its length is 7’3 inches, and its greatest width 3‘8 inches. 
Third upper true molar. — Several specimens of the last upper molar of S. cliftii 
are contained in the collection of the Indian Museum, all of which have been 
obtained from Burma. They carry either seven or eight ridges and a hind-talon, 
and agree in general characters with the teeth noticed above. One of these specimens 
is described by Dr. Falconer on page 113 of the first volume of the “ Palseontological 
Memoirs,” from which the following extracts are taken ; “ The plane of wear slopes 
obliquely from the outside inwards, so that the interior side of the first three ridges 
IS ground down much lower than the outer side. There is no mark of a longitudinal 
line bisecting the tooth, as in the true Mastodons, into an outer and inner division. 
The ridges are a little convex in front and concave behind, determining a similar 
form to the valleys between them, which run across without any interruption. 
The mainmillge are obtuse and closely packed, and nine or ten of them may he 
counted on each ridge. Hardly any crusta petrosa (cement) is visible, except 
between the fifth, sixth, and seventh ridges. Length of molar 9'3 inches ; greatest 
width 4*3 inches.” 
Last lower tome molar. — I cannot find any record of any of the lower molars 
of Stegodooi cliftii, with the exception of the last true molar, of which a specimen 
from Burma is represented in fig. 5 of Plate XXX of the “Fauna Antiqua 
Sivalensis,” described by Dr. Falconer as follows : “ Last true molar, lower jaw, 
left side, consisting of eight ridges and a talon. Five ridges are touched by wear, 
and the two anterior ridges are nearly worn out. The crown is very flat ; the 
points (cusps) are large and few in number, and there is no very distinct mesial 
dividing line (and) hut little cement. Length 12-7 inches, width 4'5 inches.”
