Mr. C. Forster-Cooper on new Mammals 



For the present, however, the question must remain in 

 abeyance, since the type- specimen of B. giganteus is a single 

 molar. 



Fie 



The characters of this genus, so far as can be ascertained at 

 present, are : — 



1. Fourth upper premolar with the inner cusp much 

 reduced. 



2. Third lower molar much wider in front than behind. 



3. The teeth generally are very brachybunodont (a cha- 

 racter shared, of course, with other Anthracotheroid genera).

Gelocus indicus, sp. n. (Fig. 3.) 



The Traguloids thus far discovered in the Indian region 

 are Tragulus sivalensis (Lyd.), Dorcutlterium minus (Lyd.), 

 D. may us (Lyd.), Prodremotherium beatrix (Pilg.), and 

 Gelocus gajensis (Pilg,). 



Of these forms Tragulus sivalensis is certainly represented 

 in the present collection; Gelocus gajensis and Prodremo- 

 therium beatrix probably occur also, but the specimens are 

 not as yet fully determined. Among them, however, is an 

 upper molar showing characters sufficiently distinct to warrant 

 its description as a new species. 



The genus Gelocus has never properly been described ; it 

 was founded by Ayniard on the species Amphitragulus com-
