464 FAUNA ANTIQUA SIVALENSIS. 



to their height; the ridges are less elevated, and consist of a greater 

 number of coronal points, and the valleys are more open and trans- 

 verse (or interrujDted only by an insignificant number of warty tuber- 

 cles) than in M. Sivalensis (See antea, p. 121).

Plate XXXII. 



Mastodon Sivalensis (Falc. and Caut.). From the Sewalik hills; 

 anterior view. Three other views of same cranium in Plate XXXIII. 

 The brow is a little crushed between the temporals. The left tusk- 

 sheath is present, the riglit is withered ; there is distortion of the 

 tusk-sheaths in consequence. There is an enormous and peculiar 

 projection of the lips of incisive anterior end of naso-maxillary fissure, 

 so as to project over the trunk, or inter-incisive fossa. This fossa is 

 very deep, enormously so. The depressions for the condyles of the 

 lower jaw are very vaulted. There are two infra-orbitary foramina on 

 the right side. The grinders are very much worn. On the left side 

 there would be five ridges, with a very complicated heel-series. Pos- 

 teriorly, the teeth show well the peculiar characters of Mastodon 

 Sivalensis. — B.M. (Reproduced m Plate X.)
