272 Capt. Cautley on the Sevdlik Hills, 



proves, that they were quietly deposited in the sediment in which they are 

 found. The following is a list of the fossils already discovered in the marl : — 



Mammalia. 



Pachydermata - - Teeth, and the remains of a species of Anthracotherium. 



Carnivora - - - Genera doubtful ; but some of the teeth correspond with the third 



incisor of the bear. 

 Rodentia - - - Rat, and a small variety of castor. 



Ruminantia - - - Deer, several varieties, and one molar of a very small species. 

 Solipeda - - - Horse, one incisor, and one molar from the right side of the upper 



jaw : they exhibit a peculiarity in the form of the enamel flexures. 



Reptilia. 



Crocodilia - - - Gharial. {Gavial of naturalists.) Teeth and bones in abundance. 



Crocodile. Teeth, in great abundance, fragments of the osseous plates, 

 vertebrae, and other bones. 

 Chelonia - - - - Emys. Fragments of the plates of the back very perfect ; also ribs, 

 with the attached osseous part of the buckler. 

 Tryonix. Ditto, ditto. Some marked differences in the form and 

 position of the rugous surface of the fragments of the buckler, 

 may hereafter point out a variety of species. 



Pisces. 

 VertebrcB and Scales — The latter doubtful. 



Testacea. 



Bivalve - - - - Imperfect, but resembling Unio. Univalve : a cast resembling that of 

 the Paludina of the present fresh-water*. 



Besides these more easily determinable remains, there have been found a 

 number of incisor teeth, which I cannot assign to any genus ; also quantities 

 of bones, in fragments, and portions of ribs, one of which must have belonged 

 to a large animal ; also vertebrae, metatarsal or carpal bones, &c. With the 

 exception of the teeth, the remains are generally in fragments, and separated ; 

 nor does it appear probable that we shall meet with anything approaching 

 to a complete skeleton. 



In the tract then between the Jumna and Ganges, the fossil remains as yet 

 discovered are thus disposed : — 



* The only univalve which has been yet found in the marl is the cast above-mentioned, from 

 the rock north of Nahun. I have entered it here, considering, as I do, that the deposits are 

 identical.
