Genus SIVATHERIUM, Falconer and Cautley 3 . 

 By some writers this genus is considered to he more closely allied 

 to the Antelopes than to the Giraffes ; but the kindred Indian 

 genera, Hydaspitherium and Vishnutherium, appear to have decided

 present genus. There are two pairs of cranial appendages, the 

 bases of each being separate. The anterior pair are conical, like
