Abstract :In a preliminary report on the remains of fossil elephants, belonging to both Archidiskodon and Elephas, found in Anatolia, I had briefly referred to a broken molar from the neighborhood of the village of Akdoğan.\' The results of my study on this molar tooth are reported in the present study. The other remains mentioned in my preliminary report will be taken up at a later date. Archidiskodon from Akdoğan, represented by a broken upper left third molar, was found in the lower part of the cutting beside the Ankara-Kızılcahamam highway about 150 meters to the north of the Primary School of the village of Akdoğan, which is situated about nine kilometers to the south-east of the district center of Kızılcahamam in the Province of Ankara.
