Fossil remains from the Sub-Himdlayas. 



[Sept. 



vanced position of the first false molar close to the root of the canine ; 

 the tooth is probably a deciduous one, not yet replaced by the perma- 

 nent molar ; the unworn state of the other teeth also attesting the 

 youth of the fossil, at the period of its demise. The lower jaws, figs. 

 11 and 12, are not sufficiently perfect to afford any satisfactory mea- 

 surements. Fig. 11 is the external view of the left; and fig. 12 the 

 internal of the right lower jaw. 



To the foregoing observations we have nothing further to add than 

 that, in our opinion, they point out sufficient proof of specific differ- 

 ences between the several objects compared ; but, for the reasons be- 

 fore adduced, we must limit our conclusions to this, and cannot there- 

 fore venture upon giving new names to our fossil species.
