72 LypEekker— On Stwalik Fossils in the Science and Art Museum, Dublin. 
The Siwalik wolf cannot be certainly identified with any described form, although 
im many respects it was closely related to the existing wolves of the Old World. 
The occurrence of this fossil in the Siwaliks is one of extreme importance in 
regard to the pliocene age of at least a large portion of those deposits; since, in the 
tertiaries of Europe, with which the Siwaliks are in many respects closely alhed, 
true wolves are unknown before the pliocene, though they are said to occur in the 
upper miocene of North America.

volume) is more nearly related to the existing African H. crocuta (spotted hyena) 
than to any other form, and presents no affinity to the existing Indian H. striata 
(striped hyzena).
