292 RECENT DEPOSITS OF NERBUDDA VALLEY. 



Near the village of Patrora the cranium of an Elephant was found 



resting on the surface of the reddish clay, but 

 Crania of Elephas. 



surrounded by loose sand, here and there cement- 

 ed into a hard grit by lime, and far down the river, near Siuri, another 

 head was obtained lying loose in the bed of the river, and seemingly 

 deposited in a similar position to the last. 



Both crania seem to belong to Elephas Namadicus, Falc. 



The richest locality however was near the village of Moar Domur, 



where, in addition to a number of remains of Bos, 

 Moar Domur. . 



Buoalus, and other Kuminants, 1 obtained a very 



fine head of Bos Namadicus, Falconer, of which some of the measure- 

 ments are appended below. Another specimen of interest from the 

 same locality was a very perfect shell of an Emys — but remains of Chel- 

 onians are generally rare in these beds. 



Among the remains of Ruminants obtained at several spots occur 



fragments of horns of Jioe species of deer as 

 Deer Horns. 



far as can be conjectured from the broken speci- 

 mens. 



One specimen much resembles the recent Cervus Davancellii. The 

 fragment is 5 inches long from the burr where it is broken close off. At 

 1£ inch it gives off a small bez-antler at right angles — 



Girth below the bez-antler, 6£ inches. 



Ditto of ditto 4 „ 



Of the second species there is also only a single fragment. It is 5 

 inches in length, smooth and circular, and gives off a small bez-antler 

 close to the burr: it nearly coincides with the horn of the common fallow 

 deer, but is less curved — 



Girth at base above burr, »<..... 5\ inches. 



Ditto where broken off, 3| „ 



A third species is represented by 2 fragments of the long cores similar 

 to those of the Muntjac (Styloceros), which support the horns in that
