3 rd group (specimens re-inventoried on the basis of the remnants of old inventory cards and on some papers) Family Deinotheriidae BONAPARTE, 1845 Genus Deinotherium KAUP, 1829 Deinotherium cf. proavum EICHWALD, 1835 (Plate I: 1-6) Material — Six specimens. Measurements — L dext. fr. (Gyn/391., Plate I: 3): length of the fragment: 212 mm, min. and max. diameter at the proximal end: 71.8 mm, 87.7 mm; min. and max. diameter at the distal end: 55.2 mm, 64.9 mm; P 3 dext. (Gyn/393., Plate I: 4): length: 75.85 mm, max. width: 63 mm; P4 sin. (Gvn/392., Plate I: 5): length: 86.3 mm, max. width: 70.45 mm; M 2 sin. fr. (Gyn/387., Plate I: 2): length: cca. 88 mm, max. width: cca. 88 mm; M 2 sin. (Gyn/390., Plate I: 1): length: 89.7 mm, max. width: 90.30 mm; M 3 dext. (Gyn/402., Plate I: 6): length: 93.5 mm, max. width: 93.2 mm. Remarks — The inventory cards of the specimens lost in 1956, except one. I found a small piece of the burnt inventory- card on a left maxilla fragment with M 2 sin. (Gyn/390., Plate I: 1). On the card the first part of the name of the locality: "Abauj" was discernible. I found references on some Deinotherium giganteum remains from Abaújszolnok (KOVÁCS 1863, KOCH 1900). The above mentioned six specimens (M 2 sin., M 3 dext., P3 dext., P4 sin., M2 sin. fr., 1 2 dext. fr.) belonged very probably to the same animal, so I think all the remains are from Abaúj­szolnok. The age of the remains is unknown. The measure­ments of the teeth are larger than those of typical Deino­therium giganteum teeth (see below). The crown morpho­logy- of the P3 is also closer to the D. proavum than to the D. giganteum because of the sharper ectolophid and the more elongated entoconid (see in GASPARIK 2001, Plate I: 3 and 8). Family Gomphotheriidae HAY, 1922 Genus Anancus AYMARD, 1855 Anancus arvernensis (CROIZET & JOBERT, 1828) (Plate IV: 5) Material — Single specimen. Remarks — The specimen is an M 3 sin. fragment Measurements — Length of the fragment: 111.20 (Gyn/397.) in the material. Based on the remnant of its mm, width at the third loph: 81.3 mm. old inventory card its locality 7 is Pestszentlőrinc, its age is unknown. 4 th group (specimens re-inventoried without any older data) Family Gomphotheriidae HAY, 1922 Gomphotheriidae sp. indet. (Plate I: 7) Material — A tusk fragment (Gyn/389.). Measurements — Length of the fragment: 193.2 mm, min. and max. diameter on its proximal end: 64.5 mm, cca. 80 mm. Remarks — The specimen shows the so-called "guillochage" structure. Based on its shape and the wear facets the specimen is a fragment of a lower incisor of a gomphothere. Its measurements suggest that the specimen is probably Tetralophodongigantorostris (KLAHN, 1922).
