DESCRIPTION OF PLATES. 87 



palatine, and lateral views. The left zygomatic arch is almost complete; 

 the right is absent. The molars, premolars, and right canine are well 

 seen : the incisor ridge is mutilated. The molar ridges are parallel ; 

 the whole jaw tapers forward, and there is no widening of its anterior 

 extremity, and no abrupt angle between the line of the jaw and the 

 zygomatic arch. — B.M. 



Tig. 6. — 31. dissimilis (var. minor?). Lower jaw, right side, com- 

 prising the horizontal and part of the ascending ramus, with the ex- 

 panded disc below. The three molars are in situ. The premolars 

 have dropped out, but their alveoli are seen. The canine is also in 

 situ, but broken off. The molars in the original exhibit Avell the rugous 

 surface of the enamel, with the basal cingulum and the ruminant-like 

 pattern of wear on the crown which are characteristic of the genus, 

 which is nearly allied to Anthracotherium in the teeth. The colline 

 apices of the molars are more widely separated than in other Hippo- 

 potami. The specimen from which this figure is taken is in the 

 Museum of the Asiatic Society at Calcutta (Sewalik series, No. 246), 

 and is described by Dr. Falconer in the Catalogue of the Museum.

 jaw, left side, with very perfect canine.
