In the foregoing synopsis, Mr. Lydekker states that he has 

 endeavoured to follow in the main the nomenclature adopted by 

 Professor W. H. Flower, in his Catalogue of the Mammalia in the 

 Museum of the Eoyal College of Surgeons (London, 1884). Under 

 each genus is given the reference to the work where it was originally 

 named, and under the species, the work in which the name was first 

 applied and also that in which the fullest description of each species 

 may be found. 



1. The Primates (Anthropoidea) are present 



in these deposits and are represented by 2 families, 4 genera and 5 species. 



2. The Carnivora, by 



3. Rodentia, by 



4. Ungulata, viz. 

 A Artiodactyla, by 

 B Perissndactyla, by 

 C Proboscidea 



6. The Edentata, by 



Making 5 Orders 29 families, 72 genera and 141 „ 



It is interesting to observe that the deposit which at present has 

 yielded the richest series of Fossil Vertebrata in India is that of the 

 Siwalik Hills in which the late Sir Proby T. Cautley and Dr. 

 Hugh Falconer laboured with so much success more than thirty years 

 ago, and whose remarkable fossils occupy the fine series of folio 

 plates known as the " Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis," the only descrip- 

 tions of which are to be found in " Falconer's Palasontological 

 Memoirs," so carefully edited by the late Dr. Charles Murchison. 



When we bear in mind the unfavourable nature of the climate, 

 the vast and varied character of the country embraced in our Indian 

 Empire, and the vei'y small number of workers actually engaged on 

 the preparation of these publications, including both those at home 

 and those out in India, many of the latter of whom are out in the 

 field most of the year, we cannot but confess our astonishment 

 at the brilliant results which this small army of geologists and 

 paleontologists have accomplished.

ON "FAULTS." 

 SiK, — Prof. Blake has pointed out that Figures 8 and 9 in my 

 paper on Faulting (p. 209) are incorrect. It was careless in me. to 

 draw them so; and I send amended copies. The text requires no
