John Hunter's original specimen (Cat. Coll. Surg. Eng. No. 

 800), called 'the third deciduous upper molar, right side,' 

 has these dimensions: extreme length, 2*7 ; width, 2'. 



The most prominent distinctive character is the uniform 

 convexity of the outer surface of the first true molar. 



The species would probably be too small for the Dino- 

 therium Peritnense. 



2. Tapirws Pentapotamice (Falc). This species is also new 

 to the Indian fossil fauna. One specimen is a tooth which 

 is probably the right penultimate true molar upper jaw. 

 Both ridges are slightly worn, and there is a disc of pressure 

 in front and behind.

The tooth corresponds with the penultimate true molar 

 upper jaw, right side, of the American Tapir {Tapirus 

 Americanus), but it is a trifle smaller. 



The two smaller teeth would agree with the form of the 

 first premolar. They are distinctly bi-cuspid, as in the 

 Tapirs. The definition of the cusp is much more pronounced 

 in the fossil, and the form of the tooth more triangular. 



3. Sus pusillus (Falc). The specimen is a fragment of 

 the right ramus of a lower jaw of a small swine animal. It 

 consists of the upper part of the ramus and the base of the 

 coronoid, and it contains the posterior two-thirds of the last 

 molar in situ ; the tooth is three-barrelled and the crown has 

 the rough warty swine character. The enamel is very thick; 

 the anterior barrel is broken off.

The talon is nearly as large as the middle barrel. The 

 jaw is clearly of a full-sized animal, and therefore it belongs
