\centerline{ \bf Abstract}
\smallskip
In this paper we study the relation between Euclidean
distance matrices and special nonnegative elliptic matrices.
Based on this relation we obtain a new characterization
of the cone of Euclidean distance matrices and a characterization of its
boundary based on the maximum Rayleigh quotient.
