IV. Order PROBOSCIDEA.
1. Elephas.
1. Elephas primigenius.
1. This species is clearly indicated by a nearly entire upper molar, having a transverse diameter of 1⋅25 inch and containing four plates in a length of 1⋅2 inch = 0⋅3 for each plate. The characters are clearly those of the Mammoth.
2. A large fragment of a long bone, most probably elephantine, and some smaller and more doubtful pieces.
3. Besides the above remains of Elephant, Mr. Mello has a second, small molar tooth which I have not had an opportunity of examining, but which, from a photographic figure, would appear to exhibit the character of E. antiquus, from the thickness and smaller number (8-9) of the plates.
Discussion.
Prof. Busk made some observations on the Mammalian remains exhibited by Mr. Mello. These are embodied in the preceding Appendix.
Dr. Ogier Ward mentioned the occurrence of similar bones in well-sinking at Eastbourne.
Mr. Evans remarked that we have in these fissures bones extending from Roman times far back, and expressed a hope that Mr. Mello would be able to distinguish those belonging to different periods. The general facies of the flint implements was neolithic.
Mr. Mello stated that the implements were all found near the surface.
