Abstrakt:	It appears that the Barrington and Haverhill Elephasis somewhat distinct from other forms of antiquusby its higher laminar frequence. As far as is known it was a form with small molar teeth. The fact that there is no great variation in size may be due to the small number of specimens measured but is none the less interesting. The light they throw on the geological level of the beds in which they occur is obscure, but on the whole the period seems to be early rather than late and may be placed provisionally near the top of the Pliocene.
