Hippopotamus sivalensis, Falconer and Cautley 1 . 

 Syn. Hexaprotodon sivalensis, Falconer and Cautley 2 . 



This species is somewhat smaller than the existing H. amphibius, 

 and has three incisors in both jaws, those of the mandible being of 

 subequal size ; the groove in the upper canine is much deeper 

 than in H. amphibius, and the mandibular symphysis relatively 

 longer. The species has been split up by McClelland 3 , but apparently 

 on insufficient grounds. 



Hob. India. 



All the following specimens, unless otherwise stated, are from the 

 Pliocene of the Siwalik Hills, and belong to the Cautley Col- 

 lection. Presented, 1842. 



M. 2269. The cranium, showing the alveoli of the incisors, the 

 (Fig.) canines, and the whole of the cheek-teeth, in a well-worn 

 condition. This specimen is figured by Falconer and 

 Cautley in the ' Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,' pi. lix. fig. 1 ; 

 and is also figured in ' Falconer's Palaeontological Me- 

 moirs,' vol. i. pi. xi., as well as in the accompanying 

 woodcut (fig. 38, a, p. 298). It is noticed by the present 

 writer in the ' Palaeontologia Indica,' ser. 10, vol. iii. 

 pp. 38, 39, as var. latidens.

 cit. It agrees precisely with the last specimen, the den- 

 tition being in a well-worn condition.
