40183. Cranium, much damaged posteriorly and superiorly, but 
(Fig. 
exhibiting the last four cheek-teeth of either side; from 
the Pliocene of the Siwalik Hills, India. This specimen, 
which is the-type, is figured by Falconer and Cautley in 
the ‘ Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,’ pl. Q. figs. 1, la, 16, Le, 
where it is doubtfully referred to Canis; and is described 
and figured by the present writer in the ‘ Palzontologia 
indien, ser. 10; vols 1. p. 269, pl. xxxim. fies, 1, Ia@.- In 
the relative size of the carnassial teeth this specimen is 
nearer to V. zibetha than to V. civetia, from which it is 
concluded that the species cannot in all probability have 
been the ancestor of the African V. civetta; it is, however, 
extremely probable that it may have given rise to the 
Indian V. zibetha, the reduced size of the true molars of the 
latter being a later specialization.

M. 1338. Cranium, wanting the anterior portion; from the Plio- 
(d%ig.) 
cene of the Siwalik Hills, India. This specimen, which is 
the type of the species, shows the last three cheek-teeth of 
either side in fair preservation. On the left side the zygo- 
matic arch is preserved; but the specimen is so fragile 
that it has not been deemed advisable to clear it from the 
matrix. It is described and figured by the present writer
