570 Selected Sub -Himalayan Fossils. [Oct. 



height of the nose, and the peculiar setting on of the horns, are all 

 more conspicuously exemplified in another specimen of a similar skull, 

 which Colonel Colvin purposes presenting to the Asiatic Society. Our 

 specimen, however, has the advantage of possessing the cranium and 

 occiput entire. 



Fig. 43, is the last molar of the left lower jaw of an antelope or 

 goat. 



Fig. 27, a horn, perhaps of a similar animal. 



Fig. 28, part of the frontal of a small stag. 



Figs. 29 and 39, ditto antler ditto. 



Fig. 44, milk molar of a stag. 



Fig. 30, tibia of a stag or antelope. 



Fig. 31, fragment of head of a femur of bos. — This specimen, com- 

 pared with the similar part of the domestic buffalo, is in size as 5 to 4. 



Fig. 32, fragment of head of a bos. — This has a general resemblance, 

 as far as it goes, to the very perfect one offered to the Society by Mr. 

 Dawb. 



Fig. 33, lower extremity of the metacarpal of a ruminant : compared 

 with that of buffalo, as 83 to 45. . 



Fig. 34, a, b, two views of the lower extremity of the femur of a 

 bos, one-third longer than the longest of which I have met with a 

 description in Cuvier ; its width across the condyles is 6*2 inches. 



Figs. 35 and 36, are two similar fragments of axis, which I have 

 selected to show the diversity of size of our fossil ruminants : to com- 

 plete the comparison, I have added the corresponding bone of the 

 small plough bullock of the country, fig. 37. 



Fig. 38, is a lower extremity of a radius, compared with the cor- 

 responding bone of the bullock, as 18 to 7"5. 



It is not impossible that some of these large bones may hereafter 

 be found to belong to Capt. Cautley's Sivatherium*. 

 Seharanpur, July 9th, 1835. 



* Sivatherium. — The name given by Capt. Cautley and Dr. Falconer to 

 one of the recently discovered fossil animals, of which their description has just 

 been published in the Society's Researches. We shall take an early opportunity 

 of republishing the accouat of this important discovery, so fraught with inter- 

 est to the geologist and the naturalist. 



It will be seen by the extract of a letter from Captain Cautley, read before 

 the Society at the Meeting of the 4th November, and published with the present 

 number, that this conjecture is completely confirmed ; and that other animals, 

 particularly the Anoplotherium of Cuvier, have been added to the growing 

 catalogue of Sewalik fossils. — Ed.
