Nr. 0-223 (1879). It was revised in 1937 when it received the number of Ob-5147. According to Gy. HALAVÁTS the other teeth were also obtained by the Hungarian National Museum as early as in 1856, and later in 1874. Unfortunately neither the collection nor the bibliographical references of the 1856 finds are available. Both Proboscidea species, M. arvernensis (from Levantinian layer) and E

. meridionalis (from diluvial sand) are mentioned in Koch's catalogue (KOCH 1900). Up to the present the most thorough description of the Proboscidea remains of Aszód and their stratigraphieal position has been given by SCHLESINGER (1922): Mastodon arvernensis Croiz. Job. - M

A. 18., A. 20., loc. cit. P. 71). Both misplaced. HOERNES (1903), using an indirect reference when writing about the earlier data of J.KRENNER and T. FUCHS, said that two typical molars of M. arvernensis had come to light from the "blue marl". Over the "blue marl" there was a gravel layer deposited there with concordance while above this also concordantly calcareous and sandy clay and sand had been deposited (loc. cit. P.

74). M. arvernensis remains are not known from the gravel layer. SCHLESINGER noted that in some Hungarian papers the meridionalis tooth appeared erroneously as belonging to an E. antiquus Falc, (loc. cit. P. 75., footnote 1.; P. 206, footnote 2.). Fig. 1 Arch, gromovi. M
