Relations of fauna. 



Species marked with an asterisk have not been found elsewhere. The 

 majority of the genera are extinct; Rhinoceros, 

 Sus, and Manis being the only living types, and 

 the last-named has only been recognized from a single digital phalange, so 

 that the generic identification is far from sufficient. Both Rhinoceros 

 and Sus existed in miocene times, whilst Amphicyon, Anthracotherium, 

 Hyopotamus, and Dinotherium, are not known to occur in Europe in beds 

 of later date than miocene. The genera Hemimeryx and Sivameryx are 

 peculiar ; both are allied to the Siwalik Merycopotamus. 



The species found also in the pliocene Siwaliks are Rhinoceros palain- 

 dicus, Acerotherium perimense, Chalicotherium 

 sivalense, Sus hysudricus, the two species of 

 Dorcatherium, Mastodon latidens, and Mastodon falconeri ; but as the 

 presence of these forms in the Manchhar beds is inferred for the most part 

 from fragments, the identifications are by no means quite certain,
