species is known by the palate of a female and the canine of a male, and 

 seems to have been allied to the living orang of Borneo, but is distinguished 

 b^^ the form of its premolars ; two species of (prol)ablj') Semnopithecus 

 and two of Macacus* have also been determined. 



Among the Caruivora, we have a large tiger (Felis cristnta)-\ charac- 

 terized by its large sagittal crest ; a second species has latelj^ been described 

 by Mr. P. N. Bose under the name of F. f/riindicridata,% with a still 

 lai'ger crest ; while a third and much smaller species is indicated by a lower 

 jaw in the Indian Museum. Of the genus Machairoilus {MaehcBrodns), 

 there is M. sivahnsis of Falconer and Cautley, said by Mr Bose to be 

 equal in size to the jaguar, and a larger species described by the same 

 writer mider the name of M. palceinclicus. The genus Fseud(Blurus, dis- 

 tinguished from Felis by the presence of an additional lower premolar, is 

 known by one lower jaw, which I have referred to a new species under the 

 name of F. sivahnsis. § Among the civet-like animals, we have Viocrra 

 haheri of Mr. Bose, said to be closely allied to the living civet, and 

 IctUlierium sivalense described by myself from a lower jaw. || The hysenas 

 arc represented by Sycsna sivalensis of Falconer and Cautley, said by 

 Mr. Bose to present relationship both to the Indian H. striata and the 

 African II. crucuta; and H. felina of Mr. Bose, distinguished by the 

 absence of the first upper premolar. The dogs, according to the same 

 writer, are represented by two species of Oanis (G. ciirvipalatus and C. 

 cautleyi), the latter closely allied to the wolf; there is a specimen of 

 the palate of a Canis in the Indian Museum, but I am at present unable to 

 say whether it belongs to either of the above species. The genus Amphi- 

 cyoii, distinguished from Oanis by the presence of an additional upper molar, 

 is represented by A. pnlasindicm,^ remains of which have been obtained 

 from Sind and the Punjab. The bears are known by a single undescribed 

 cranium of Z7rszjs in the Indian Museum, and by the remai-kable genus 

 Hyanarctos, of which two species are known : H. sioalensis** was the origin- 

 al species on which the genus was found.jd, and has the upper molars with 

 quadrangular crowns ; a tooth apparently belonging to this species has been 

 described by Professor Flower from the newer Pliocene (lied Crag) of

 AmiMcyon in having three upper true molars : it may, however, according to I'rof. 

 Flower, have four of these teeth,
