It's known that one could use a fixed loxodromic or parabolic element in $M(\bar{\mathbb{R}}^n)$ as a test map to test the discreteness of a non-elementary M$\ddot{o}$bius group G. In this paper, we discuss the discreteness of G by using a fixed elliptic element.

It is well known that one could use a fixed loxodromic or parabolic element of a non-elementary group $G{\subset}M(\bar{\mathbb{R}}^n)$ as a test map to test the discreteness of G. In this paper, we show that a test map need not be in G. We also construct an example to show that the similar result using an elliptic element as a test map does not hold.
