Summary, etc. Abstract<br/>The extinct Ratnapura fauna of Ceylon is a radiation from the Indian Shivalik. In it occur a hexaprotodont hippopotamus and a race of Elephas maximus which is the most recent member of the Proboscidea. Since such an association is unknown elsewhere, it has given rise to many explanatory theories. A uranium test of associated fossils of both animals now establishes that this has resulted from redeposition and that the animals were not contemporaneous. This makes less vague the hitherto conjectural views regarding the earth movements, and the ages of the gem deposits and of the early human lithic artefacts in them.
