Description

Many fossils of Naumann's elephant Palaeoloxodon naumanni have been dredged up from sea bottom of the Naruto Straits. The Naruto specimens of third molar kept in the Tokushima Prefectural Museum are made comparison with the Bisan-Seto, Shakagahana and Lake-Nojiri specimens from the standpoint of shapes and measurements. In conclusion, the Naruto specimens are somewhat smaller, and loxodont sinuses are relatively developed than the Lake-Nojiri specimens. However, differences between the Naruto, the Bisan-seto and the Shakagahana specimens are indistinct in size and morphology.
