BRITISH FOSSIL ELEPHANTS. 
the chin is nearly as rounded as in Woodcut, fig. 4, such is by no means the case in the 
jaws from the Yal d’Arno at Florence and the cast in the British Museum, shown in 
Woodcut, fig. 14.

In the two recent species there are good distinctions to be made on this character, 
the chin of the Asiatic Elephant presenting the usual aspect of that of the Mammoth, 
subject to the same variations, whereas of several mandibles of the African I have never 
seen the broad round chin of Woodcut, fig. 15. The more pointed mental region of the 
mandible of the African agrees with that of E. meridionalis , to which species there is a 
closer relationship in other skeletal elements than with the Mammoth.
