It has been suggested by the present writer, in the ‘ Paleontologia 
Indica,’ ser. 10, vol. 11. pp. 288-9, that this species is not improbably 
the same as the Siwalik H. felima. The species is described solely 
upon the evidence of the three teeth mentioned below, all of which 
were obtained from a cave in the province of Sechuen (Sez-chuen), 
N.W. China, near the city of Chung-king-foo. 
41937. The third right upper premolar. This specimen is figured 
(fig.) by Owen in the Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xxvi. 
pl. xxviii. figs. 5, 6. 
Purchased from R.,Swinhoe, Esq., 1870.

Syn. Hyena swalensis, Falconer and Cautley (a parte).

15902. Cranium of a very old individual, with the teeth much worn 
(Fig.) and battered; from the Pliocene of the Siwalik Hills, 
India. The alveolus of a minute m. 1 may be seen on the 
right side: pm.1lis absent. This specimen, which is the 
type of the species, is figured by Falconer and Cautley in 
the ‘Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,’ pl. K.’ figs. 1, 1a, 16, le; 
but it wanted at that time the left half of the palate, 
which has been subsequently added; it is also described 
and figured by Bose in the Quart. Journ. Geol. Soe. 
vol. xxxvi. p. 130, pl. vi. fig. 6, and is described by the 
present writer in the ‘ Paleontologia Indica’ in the pas-
