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.
