172 IJxhihition of Lower Jaw of Teiraconodon Magnum. [August, 



Father Lafont concluded from this that the radiometer was complete- 

 ly useless as a photometer. As to the real cause or causes of its move- 

 ments, he thought the subject required fm-ther study before a definite 

 answer could be given. 



Mr. R. Ltdekker exhibited a portion of the lower jaw of Tetracono- 

 don magnum, Falconer, from the Sewaliks, and said — 



The specimen exhibited is a portion of the lower jaw of this Hij^popo- 

 tamoid : the animal was previously only known by two upper molars ob- 

 tained by Falconer. The present specimen contains two tubercular molar 

 teeth, and two large conical premolars, the latter far exceeding in size the 

 former ; a condition unknown in any other mammal with which I am 

 acquainted. 



The specimen was obtained by Mr. Theobald during the present year 

 from the Sewaliks of the Panjab ; it will be found described in the forth- 

 coming number of the ' Records of the Geological Survey of India.' 



Mr. W. T. Blaisteoed exhibited some di'awings sent to him by Cap- 

 tain E. Mockler, Political Agent at Gruadar, representing ancient dwellings 

 and tombs discovered by Captain Mockler at Sutkagen Dor and Damba 

 Koh near Guadar in Makran (Baluchistan). The originals had been sent 

 to the Royal Asiatic Society vdth a full account of Caj)tain Mockler's dis- 

 coveries, of which a short notice was given to the meeting by Mr. Blanford 

 who said : 



The two localities explored by Captain Mockler, are not far from the 

 coast of Makran. The first of these, Sutkagen Dor (the bm'ut-up torrent, 

 a name derived from the charcoal and ashes found in the neighbourhood) 

 lies about forty miles north-west of Guadar : there is a modern stone fort 

 constructed by Baluchis, but remains of ancient works also occur, the prin- 

 cij)al being two dykes of large stones joining different hills together. Such 

 works are found in other parts of Baluchistan and are known to the inhabi- 

 tants as " Bahmani." 



Excavations at this place beside an ancient brick wall laid bare the 

 walls of a small house, built of bricks, some of them vitrified, and sparingly 

 cemented together with mud, and also of a stone house enclosing platforms 

 paved with stone. This, Captain Mockler thinks, may have been a temple. 

 Pottery, charcoal, bones, chiefly of fish, and flint knives were found both in 

 the houses and in the soil around. A niimber of oblong stone enclosures 

 were also met with, one wall sometimes above another and running in a 

 different direction. Fragments of pottery, stone knives, bones and pieces 

 of copper are abundant in these enclosures and below the foundations, and 

 in several of them, earthen pots were discovered, about 2i feet high.
