Plate E. 

 Camelopardalis Sivalensis (Falc. and Caut.). 



Figs. 1, 1 a, 1 5, 1 c, and 1 cZ.^Third cervical vertebra of fossil giraffe, 

 from the Sewalik hiUs. The elongated character of the vertebra shows 

 that the animal had a cohimnar neck, and the fact that the transverse 

 processes are provided with foramina for the vertebral arteries shows 

 that it was not a camel. The complete synostosis of the upper and 

 lower articulating siurfaces, the strong rehef of the ridges, and the depth 

 of the muscular depressions, indicate that the animal was an adult, 

 which had long attained its full size. 



A note of this specimen, by Captain (now Sir Proby T.) Cautley, 

 appeared in the Journ. As. Soc. for July 1838, vol vii. p. 658, and a 

 detailed account was afterwards communicated to the Geological So- 

 ciety of London by Dr. Falconer and Captain Cautley, an abstract of 

 which appeared in the ' Proceedings,' No. 98. In the latter com- 

 munication the measurements and drawings of the specimen are given 

 (See antea, p. 197, and PI. XVI. figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4).— B.M. No. 39,747. 



Figs. 2 and 2 a. — Fragment of second cervical vertebra of Camelo- 

 pardalis Sivalensis, from Perim Island. The right margin of the drawing 

 shows the mesial longitudinal ridge under the side of the body, and the 

 left margin is the ridge of the spinous process. The process pointing
