Plate I. . 

 Bos (Amphibos) acuticornis (Falc. and Caut.), from the Sewalik hills. 



Figs. 1, 1 a, 1 b, and 1 c. — Fine specimen of cranium, showing palate 

 and molar series, occiput, orbits, and horn-cores, but without horns. 



Figs. 2 and 2 a. — Fragment of cranium with both horns, perfect to 

 the tips. The direction of the horns is more upright and less hori- 

 zontal than in Hemibos triquitriceras. The horns are rounded on their 

 anterior surface and flattened behind, and taper to a point. — B.M.

Fig.-. 3, 3 a, 3 b, and 3 c. — Another specimen of cranium, with palate 

 and entire series of six molars, occiput, both orbits, and horn-cores. —
