416 FOSSIL EEMAINS FROM ATTOCK. 



to a small species of a genus undetermined. It is not 

 Hippohyus. I have named it provisionally Sus pusillus. 



4. Merycopotam,us nanus. Tlie difference in the dimensions 

 of the last molar from Attock is so great from those of 

 Merycopotamus dissimilis that the former must have been 

 a distinct species (See antea, p. 138). 



Merycop. Merycop. 

 diEsimilis of Attock 



Length of last molar I'l 075 



Width of do. in front 1-2 0-8 



5. Amphicyon. The specimen is the tubercular tooth of 

 a large caruivoroi.is animal, as large as the Polar Bear and 

 allied to the Amp\icyon, which occurs in the European 

 miocene strata along with Dinotherium. 



6. Antoletherium^ Among the fossils discovered by 

 Lieut. Garnett, near Attock, is a portion of the lower jaw of 

 a tapiroid animal contaming what appear to be the last 

 premolar and the first and second true molars. Of this 

 specimen I have received an excellent drawing executed by 

 Col. Baker, who regarded the species as allied to Tapir. 

 (Plate XXXIV. figs. 1 and 2.) The teeth certainly differ 

 g-enerically from those of Dinotherium in the massive con- 

 necting bridge between the two ridges, speedily running them 

 into one confluent disc. The bend of the first ridge is very 

 tapiroid. The specimen appears to me to be of an undes- 

 cribed genus for which the provisional name Antoletherium 

 [dvToXr) the east, and dr^piov) would be appropriate. 



[Col. Baker's drawing was transmitted by Dr. Falconer to 

 Professor Owen, who replied on Nov. 19, 1856, as follows. — 

 Ed.] : 



' In the sketch, which I now return, B is more worn than 

 A, and A than C. B may therefore be m. 1, and C, p. 4, or 

 the last premolar, A being the second true molar, m. 2. 

 Prom the wearing it would seem as if A and B had had 

 more connecting matter between the two ridges than C has, 

 and that C was a more simple or decidedly two -ridged tooth. 

 The bend of the first ridge appears to be tapiroid, or lophio- 

 dontoid.' 



[Among Dr. Falconer's notes there is a further memo- 

 randum respecting the same specimen, dated 9th Novem- 

 ber, 1857, which is appended. Dr. Henry Walker had 

 formerly been a colleague of Dr. Falconer's as Professor in 



' It does not appear from Dr. Fal- [ men, which is here described from a 

 coner's notes that he had seen the speci- | drawing made by Col. Baker. — [Ed.]
