represents a front view of my fragment ; fig. 2, a side view of the 

 same, showing the setting on of the new horn, and the rise of the 

 front one over the eye ; fig. 3 is a view of the occiput : — the whole 

 appear partly distorted from occurrence of a shift. For the left lower 

 jaw of the Sivatherium, delineated in the 2nd Plate, I am indebted to 

 Conductor W. Dawe, of the Canal Department, for whom it was 

 brought in, inclosed in a mass of similar sandstone, from near the 

 sources of the Sombe river, north of Dddupur and east of Ndhan, 

 shortly before I came away. It is a very perfect and beautiful speci- 

 men, with its molars, four in number, almost quite entire, and is the 

 specimen which you have moulded. 



Fig. 1 is of the outside of the left lower jaw. 



Fig. 2, ditto crown of the teeth, in which I have endeavoured to 

 be accurate in drawing the flexures of the enamel. 



Fig. 3 is of the inside of the same jaw. 



In fig. 1 I have hardly had the jaw perpendicular when drawing it, 

 as it does not sufficiently express the great height of the inner range 

 of the molars over their outer edge, which a cross section would have 

 better shown ; but as the specimen is gone on board, I cannot now 

 make it." 



XII. — Note on the Hot spring of Lohand Khad. By Capt.C M. Wade. 



Near the village of Bhasra and the source of the Lohand Khad, (a 

 rivulet, which flows into the Satlaj from below the ridge on which 

 the fort of Chambd is situated,) there is a mineral spring, the water 

 of which has a strong saline taste, and is said to be very efficacious 

 in cases of goitre, dropsy, and rheumatism. Many people are in the 

 habit of resorting to it from the neighbouring country annually in 

 the months of May and June, December and January, to drink its 

 water, both for the cure of these complaints, and to benefit by the 

 salutary effect it is supposed generally to have on the constitution. 

 A course of seven days is considered sufficient to affect the patient 

 with its peculiar qualities. It is drank early in the morning and at 

 meals, and has a slightly aperient quality. While drinking the water 

 it is necessary, in the opinion of the natives, to observe a strict regi- 

 men, eating nothing but dry wheaten cakes kneaded with the water of 

 the spring, and occasionally a few grains of black pepper. When the 

 actual course of drinking is over, abstinence from salt in any form is 

 enjoined for the seven following days. During the hot months it is 

 visited chiefly by those who are affected by goitres. In the cold 

 months it is found to be beneficial in scrofulous complaints, as well
