Sub -Himalayan Fossil Remains 



[Aug. 



Figs. 10, 11. Axis of a rhinoceros : the spinous process appears 

 shorter and deeper than the one figured by Cuvier, and the main 

 foramen more regularly circular. 



Figs. 12, 13. A calcaneum which appears not to differ from that of 

 the existing species. 



Fig. 14. Tarsus and metatarsus. In this specimen the medial 

 metatarsal bone is not so long as that of the Indian rhinoceros, but 

 longer than that of any other species given by Cuvier. The general 

 form corresponds with that in Cuvier's plate. 



Fig. 15. Metacarpal bones : the medial one is rather longer than 

 the same bone in the Cape rhinoceros, and considerably longer than 

 in any other species. 



Figs. 16, 17, are the external metacarpal of the left side. 



Fig. 18. An astragal, which differs much from those figured by 

 Cuvier, being higher, narrower, and more compressed. 



Fig. 19. Tarsal and metatarsal bones of a rhinoceros, with the 

 lower portion of tibia attached.
