* The publication of the foregoing paper has been delayed by tlie circumstance of 

 waiting for the author's return to England, when he brought with him a second skull 

 from India of the same species. It is only since this Part of the Society's Transactions 

 has been printing, that he has found time to look into the subject ; and on doing so, it 

 is found that a description and figure of this interesting animal has been recently pub-

 information is too important to be omitted. — [Note hy the Secretary.']
