 Beng. vol. v. p. 581, pi. xxvii. fig. 1, under the generic 

 name of Gulo. It is also figured by Falconer and Cautley

 palatal portion of the cranium and the left ramus of the 

 mandible, also from the Siwalik Hills, which are preserved 

 in the Science and Art Museum, Dublin, and are the 

 only other known remains of the species. These speci- 

 mens are likewise described by the present writer in
