This paper defines new parameters characterizing multivariate elliptical distributions. Mardia's coefficient of multivariate kurtosis is shown to be essentially one of these parameters. A simple relation is established between centered multivariate product moments and second moments of the variables. The general results are verified on the contaminated normal distribution as an example.
