PALAEONTOLOGY possessing one lower tusk from Waldringfield and a second from Wood- bridge, while the Ipswich Museum has an incisor. Cheek-teeth from the Crag indicate the occurrence of two species of wild pig — a larger and a smaller. The larger may be identical with one of the two con- tinental Pliocene forms described as Sus antiquus and S. erymanthius, while the smaller may be the same as S. palceochcerus of the German Pliocene. Of the horses (or perhaps asses or zebras) remains are rare in the Crag, but there is one tooth of an Equus from the Red Crag of Bawdsey in the British Museum, and a second from Felixstow in the York Museum. Less uncommon are cheek-teeth of the three-toed horses of the genus Hipparion, which can be readily distinguished from those of Equus by the pattern on the grinding surface. All the known speci- mens of these teeth appear to come from the Red Crag nodule bed ; the species to which they belong is probably the widely spread H. gracilis of the continental Pliocene. Cheek-teeth of rhinoceroses, often broken, are not uncommonly met with in the Red Crag nodule bed of the county, most of which it was once thought might belong to some of the Pleistocene representa- tives of the genus. They may however with more probability be as- signed to continental Pliocene types, such as the hornless Rhinoceros incisivus and the two-horned K. schleiermacheri of Germany. Tapirs, too, are represented in the Red Crag nodule bed of the county by their teeth, and are perhaps specifically identical with the continental forms described as Tapirus arvernensis and T. priscus. The occurrence of these fossil European tapirs, it may be incidentally remarked, is a fact of con- siderable interest, since they serve to connect the present widely separated habitats — Malaya and tropical America — of this primitive group of odd- toed ungulates. With the exception of the recently discovered Pliocene cave near Buxton, the Crags of Norfolk and Suffolk are the only deposits in Britain from which are obtained the teeth of those primitive elephants known as mastodons. In these mastodons the cheek-teeth, or molars, are of a much more simple structure than those of the true elephants, being in fact in many respects more like those of gigantic pigs than of the latter. In place of consisting of a great number of closely packed tall parallel plates, the crowns of the molars of the mastodons are formed by a few low columns or ridges, with open valleys between them. Some mastodons have three ridges or rows of columns in each molar save the two front pairs and the last, but in others the number of ridges is four in the teeth in question. Many of the Crag mastodons belong to the species with four-ridged molars originally described from the Auvergne under the name of Mastodon arvernensis, and characterized by the alter- nating arrangement of the cusps on the crowns of those teeth and the slight prolongation of the front of the lower jaw. Other teeth from the Red Crag belong to a second four-ridged species, the continental M. longirostris.
