This specimen evidently belongs to the same species as the last. Figured by Falconer and Cautley in the ' Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,' pi. xxx. figs. 1, la. A distinct trace of the median longitudinal cleft remains in m. 1, which agrees precisely in this respect, in the grooving of the enamel, and the large number of cusps with the preceding specimens. Both this and the last specimen approximate very closely to certain molars of Mastodon latidens (' Palseontologia Indica,' ser. 10, vol. i. pi. xxxviii.). Presented by Col. Burney. Before 1846. 7388.
