A. From the Sewalik Hills. 



No. 269. JiMnoceros Sivalensis 1 — Fragments comprising the greater 

 part of the cranium broken off behind about the posterior parts of the 

 zygomatic arch, the fracture having removed the whole of the occiput 

 and the left zygomatic arch. The specimen had also suffered from a 

 crush acting from above downwards from right to left ; the greater part 

 of the parietal and the whole of the frontal, and also the united nasals 

 are present; the right orbit broken off; the left nearly entire. The 

 right maxillary shows the remains more or less of seven molars, the 

 last broken off, the penidtimate well worn ; the anterior teeth have all 

 their crowns broken off nearly on a level with the alveoli ; on the left 

 side, the crowns are all broken off; the palate seems narrow, but this 

 may be probably owing to the crush ; the tip of the nasal shows the 

 rugous gibbosity of the base of a very large horn. The species waa 

 evidently imicorned. From the Sewalik hills near Nahun.

 the inferior apophysis of the calcaneum is broken off, the tibia bent 

 nearly at right angles with tarsus and metatarsus. All the bones are 

 held together by argillaceous matrix in their natural relative position
