280 FAUNA ANTIQUA SIVALENSIS. 



XIIL THE FOSSIL BOVID^, CEEYID^, AND 

 ANTILOPID^ OF INDIA. 



[The fossil Bovidce, Cervidce, and Antilopidce of India, have 

 still to be described. 



Dr. Falconer distinguished at least six new species of 

 Bovidce, among the Sewalilc fossils, which he designated in a 

 manuscript synopsis, Hemibos triquitriceras, Amphibos acuti- 

 cornis, Amphibos elatus, Amphibos antilopinus, Bos Sivalensis, 

 and Bos occipitalis. The two first are figured in unpublished 

 plates of the ' Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis ' (Plates H. and I.), 

 by referring to a description of which, further on in this 

 volume, the numbers of the specimens in the Catalogue of the 

 British Museum will be found. Outline sketches of Bos Siva- 

 lensis are among the unpublished drawings for the Fauna 

 deposited in the British Museum ; and the specimen de- 

 scribed under No. 562 of the Catalogue of the Museum of 

 the Asiatic Society of Bengal was probably Bos occipitalis. 

 There are no means of identifying the two remaining species. 

 References to the Sewahk Bovidce, with figures by Messrs. 

 Baker and Durand, will also be found in the ' Journal of the 

 Asiatic Society' for October, 1835, vol. iv. p. 569. Dr. 

 Falconer also described two species of fossil Bovidce from the 

 valley of the Nerbudda in his Catalogue of the Museum of 

 the Asiatic Society of Bengal, viz. Bos Palceindicus and Bos 

 Namadicus. The former is figured in an unpubHshed plate 

 of the ' Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis ' (G.), in the description of 

 which the catalogue numbers of the specimens in the British 

 Museum are given, and from which the figures in Plate XXII. 

 have been copied. Brief descriptions and figures of the fossil 

 buffaloes of the Nerbudda valley by Dr. Spilsbury will also 

 be found in the ' Journal of the Asiatic Society,' vol. iii. 

 p. 399, vol. viii. p. 952, vol. ix. p. 551, vol. x. p. 626, and 

 vol. xiii. p. 765. 



The Sewalik Collection in the British Museum also con- 

 tains numerous remains of Cervidce. In a manuscript synopsis 

 of Sewalik fossils by Dr. Falconer, two unnamed species of 

 Cervus, a third, Cervus Palceindicus and a species of Dorcathe- 

 rium imoschinum), are entered under the head of Cervidce.
