I'm looking for the paper of Matsumoto (1924) in which the genus was established, the paper in which Palaeoloxodon raised up to rank of genus e and so on. Can you help me?
Matsumoto, H. 1924. Preliminary note on fossil elephants in Japan. Journal of the Geological Society of Tokyo 31: 255-272. (in JAP)
Matsumoto H. 1924. On Loxodonta (Palaeoloxodon) namadica. (Falconer and Cautley) in Japan. Journal of the Geological Society of Tokyo, 31:1–5. (in ENG)
I also have this paper, in English:
H. Matsumoto. 1929. On Loxodonta (Palaeoloxodon) tokunagai Matsumoto, with remarks on the descent of loxodontine elephants. Science Reports of the Tohoku Imperial University, Sendai, Japan, ser. 2, Geology 13(1):1-5.
All papers are publicly available and were downloaded from http://ci.nii.ac.jp/
Since there is no copyright infringement, I can also make them available here, so I'm attaching them, one by one.
hi Diana, thank you very much for your disponibility. I'm working on elephant, after the founding of some teeth of Palaeoloxodon antiquus close to museum where I'm working, in central Italy.
