OF THE SIVALIK HILLS.

tooth of the upper jaw is situated in position with its point downwards, im- 

 bedded in the mass of matrix, which it may be observed reposes on the anterior 

 parts of the fossil. This canine is much worn both on the point and on 

 the anterior side ; and its resemblance to that of the Camel of the present 

 day is sufficiently close to make any further comparison unnecessary. 



Figs. 6 and 7 are portions of the lower jaw of the skull, a fragment of 

 which is represented in Figs. 1 and 2i The mass from which these remains 

 were recovered was carefully broken up by ourselves, and the broken 

 pieces united afterwards. A great portion of the cranium appears to have 

 been disintegrated and so mixed up with the matrix, as to make all attempts 

 at a separation ineffectual. The anterior part of the lower jaw has suffered 

 in this way, but the extreme good fortune of rescuing that portion repre- 

 sented in the figures above alluded to, consisting of the rami of both the 

 right and left side with the condyles and coronoid processes entire, is 

 ample compensation for the loss, more especially as the incisive extremity 

 was already in our possession, and we were only in want of the articulating 

 and coronoid processes to complete the jaw. The difference in form of 

 the fossil will be observed on a reference to Fig. 5, which is a representation 

 of the lower jaw of the existing Camel. In giving the measurements we 

 place in juxta position those of the Hissar and Seharanpur Camels before 

 referred to, and to facilitate reference have defined the boundaries of our 

 lines of measurement by capital letters.
