Rhinoceros, Equus, Sus, Canis, and Hyena, were of less frequent 



occurrence, and that the Camelidse and the Sivatherium were rare. 



The habits of these genera may be adduced as reasons for modifying 



this general summary of the state of a former zoological period. 



Note. — Having been favored with the perusal of the forthcoming papers on 

 the Hippopotamus, in the Asiatic Society's Transactions, it becomes requisite to 

 remark, that the specimen placed under the genus Anthracotherium is the same 

 which in a note at page 59, is considered by Dr. Falconer as belonging to a 

 new genus, Chaerotherium. In our opinion, it is a new species of Anthracothe- 

 rium, under which we have accordingly numbered it. Mr. Dawe has brought 

 to our notice a specimen in his possession, which consists of the right half of a 

 lower jaw belonging to the Hippopotamus Dissimilis of Dr. Falconer and 

 Captain Cautley. It is valuable as showing two molars which have suffered but 

 little detrition, and which, instead of the tapering conical collines, with summits 

 close to each other, as in the large Hippopotami, has its colline apices 

 widely separated, the tapering taking place from the point of contact of their 

 bases outwards : the outer side of each colline is nearly perpendicular, and from 

 the manner in which the sloping and the upright surfaces meet, the colline top 

 loses the mammillar aspect, assuming a flattened almost treuchant form. The 

 wear indicated is the same as that describad in the paper above alluded to.
