142 ON THE FOSSIL TIGFI^ OF THE SIVALIK HILLS. 



The other species ^the genus differ at once in size. 



We have np^ied the fossil, the Felis Cristata, from its most prominent 

 character^ <:fie elevation of the sagittal crest. 



position in the genus will probably be after the Tiger. Its size is 

 intermediate to that species and the Jaguar. 



We are indebted to Walter Ewer, Esq. of the Civil Service, for an 

 examination of the fossil, which was ffeund by collectors employed by that 

 gentleman under the direction of Captain Cautley.
