128 FAUNA ANTIQUA SIVALENSIS. 



Plate K. 



Felis cristata (Falc. and Caut.), from the Sewalik hills. This fossil 

 Tiger forms the subject of a special memoir (' Asiatic Researches,' vol. 

 xix.). 



Figs. 1, 1 a, 1 b, and 1 c. — Four different views of an imperfect 

 specimen of the cranium, from Mr. TV. Ewer's collection. The left 

 maxillary bone with the teeth is absent, but this portion was found 

 after the drawing was made, and has been added to the specimen in the 

 British Museum (No. 15,902). The specimen shows well the great 

 prominence of the sagittal crest, whence the specific name is derived, 

 also the relative shortness of the facial portion of the head, the great 

 height of the occipital, and the horizontal outline of upper surface of 

 cranium. 



Figs. 2, 2 a, 2 b, and 2 c— Another specimen of the cranium with 

 the alveolar ridges almost perfect. The anterior portion of the palate 

 with the incisors is broken off. The canine, two false molars, the car- 

 nassier, and tuberculous teeth well seen. — B.M. No. 37,133. 



Figs. 3, 3 a, and 3 b. — Mutilated fragment of posterior portion of 

 cranium — B.M. No. 37,134. 



Figs. 4, 4 a, and 4 b. — Mutilated fragment of anterior portion of 

 cranium and face, showing the left orbit entire, the palate, and the series 

 of teeth on both sides.— B M. No. 37,135. 



Plate L. 



Hycena Sivalensis (Falc. and Caut.) — Fossil Hyeena from the Se- 

 walik hills. Unfortunately no description of this fossil . was ever 

 published, and no account of it is to be found among Dr. Falconer's 

 notes. This species, however, is no doubt that designated Hycena 

 Sivalensis by Messrs. Baker and Durand in the brief description given 

 by them in the Journal of the Asiatic Society for October 1835, vol. iv. 

 p. 5G9. Their description is accompanied by drawings of a remark- 

 ably perfect specimen of the skull, with the lower jaw in situ. 



Figs. 1 and 1 a. — Fragment of anterior portion of right side of palate,- 

 with canine, and incisor teeth. — B.M. No. 39,718. 



Figs. 2, 2 a, and 2 b — Fragment of anterior portion of cranium, 

 showing canine and incisors in very perfect state. — B.M. No. 16,583. 



Figs. 3, 3 a, and 3 b. — Another fragment of anterior portion of palate 

 with three incisors. — B.M. No. 39,719. 



Fig. 4. — Dental series, right side, consisting of canine anteriorly, 

 three false molars, the two posterior of which are very large. A very 

 large carnivorous tooth with a small tubercle within and in front, 

 and a small back or fifth molar, placed transversely at the back of the 

 palate. 



Figs. 5 and 5 a. — Fragment of upper jaw, left side, containing hind- 

 most false (or third) molar, large carnivorous tooth or fourth molar, 

 and small back or fifth molar, placed transversely at the back of the 

 palate.— B.M. No. 34,140.
