In comparison with the Mammoth, it appears that the glenoid cavity is not so com¬ 
pressed laterally and is broader interiorly in the larger scapula, as shown in Plate XVIII, 
fig. 3, as opposed to the same parts in the Mammoth (Plate XXII, fig. 4, and Plate XV, 
fig. 1). The neck, too, is relatively broader in the former. 
With reference to the localities where the fragments quoted in the Table were found, 
No. 271 (Plate XXII, fig. 4) is a left scapula of the Mammoth in the Gunn Collection. 
It was dredged off Yarmouth near Kessingland, but only a fragment of the blade, neck, 
and glenoid cavity is preserved. No. 275 seems to have been dug out of the Eorest 
Bed, as portions of the matrix still adhere to the bone. The second in the Table has 
a label attached, stating that it was “ found at Mundesdey, after c a great run ’ on the 
top of the Eorest Bed, consisting of nodules of blue clay mixed with red, gravelly pan, 
and close to a jaw of TrogontJierium.'” In the British Museum there is a portion of a 
glenoid cavity, the maximum width of which is 5'5 inches, and another entire articular 
surface; both are from IIappisborough on the Norfolk coast. The height of the articular 
surface of the latter is 9 inches by callipers, and 10 inches by tape along the curves of 
the cavity; width, 4 inches above, 4'5 at the middle, and 4 - G inches below.

The colossal dimensions of the Elephantine remains met with in the fluviomarine 
and freshwater deposits of Norfolk and Suffolk coasts receive ample confirmation from the 
1 Nesti gives the following dimensions of the glenoid cavity of a scapula from Yal d’Arno :—Height 
C'291 metre, maximum breadth O' I/O (11'5 by 6 6 inches), breadth of neck 0380 metre=15'0 inches. The 
entire length of this scapula was 1'080 m„ and spine, '900 m. ‘Nuovo Giorn. de Literat.,’ No. 24, p. 194.
