        The Elephants with hypisomerous-ridged molars are divisible into the two natural groups, Stegodon and Loxodon; the anisomerous species form a third natural group, for which, as already explained, the term Euelephas is proposed.

      • 1881, Palaeontographical Society - Volume 43, page 77:

        As an example, in the members of the sub-genus Euelephas, and notably the Elephas primigenius and Elephas Asiaticus, the ciphers of whose molars, he states, are precisely alike in number, he formulates their ridges in upper and lower teeth thus:—4+8+12::12+16+24, showing that, with the exception of the first and ultimate true molars, the others increase by increments of 4, or, as he terms it, by an "anisomeroous mode of progression."
