212 MEMOIRS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 
Location of Types: The fragments of the upper and lower jaws, described and 
figured in the papers cited above, formed a part of the Cautley Collection, and 
are preserved in the British Museum. The anterior portion of the skull likewise 
figured and described in the same papers, being a part of the Dadapoor Collection 
of Messrs. Baker and Durand, was deposited in the Museum of Marischal 
College, Aberdeen, and has been lost. The writer made diligent effort some 
years ago to obtain a sight of this specimen, and finally having enlisted the 
assistance of Dr. A. Smith Woodward, ascertained through him, as the result 
of his correspondence with the authorities of the College, that it is ‘‘reported”’ 
that certain ‘old bones,” which once were in the Museum of Marischal College, 
had been thrown out, and ‘‘buried in the flower-beds in the court of the 
College.”” Dr. Woodward in a letter to the writer jocosely suggested a journey 
to the spot for the purpose of undertaking excavations in quest of the types 
of the Indian fossils described by Falconer, but so far I have not heard of his 
having taken the journey. Very fortunately a cast of this anterior portion 
of the interlocked cranium and the lower jaws made long ago, exists in the 
British Museum, where I have examined it; and a copy of this cast was with 
the greatest kindness prepared and presented to the Carnegie Museum through 
Dr. Woodward, acting on behalf of the Trustees of the British Museum. 
Geological Horizon: Siwalik Hills, India (Pliocene). 
GENERIC CHARACTERS: Dentition It, Cf, Ps, M = the published figures of 
the original specimen (cf. Falconer and Cautley, ll.cc) suggest the presence 
of alveolar openings for incisors, but the emphatic statement of Falconer 
that ‘“‘there is not a trace [of the incisors] even in the most rudimentary form” 
leaves no doubt that they were wanting both in the upper and lower jaws. 
The lower canine is well developed and strong. M1?! is broader than long, 
as in Chalicotherium; M? is longer than broad; M?® as broad as long, as in 
Macrothertum. The premaxillaries are short and delicate. The anterior 
extremity of the mandible is greatly reduced in length in comparison with 
Moropus, the symphysis of the lower jaw is heavy, tapering very rapidly to 
the thin edentulous incisive alveolar border. The remains of the skull and 
dentition show clearly that the animal must have had a very short muzzle, 
was brachycephaliec, and not dolichocephalic, as Moropus and Nestoritherium.
