It is shown that Camelopardalis hiturigum is founded on a lower jaw of 
Giro, fa Camelopardalis. The characters of Samotheriurn are fully detailed, 
and it is shown that A Icicephalus is the female of that genus. Evidence 
of the close affinity of Palceotragus to Samotheriurn is adduced. Next 
we have a discussion of the affinities of Sivatherium and Hydaspitherium , 
in which it is concluded that they are undoubted Giraffoids. The paper 
ends with a description of the skull of Helladotherium , where reasons are 
given for considering that the hornless skull from the Siwaliks referred 
to that genus probably belongs to the female of a form allied to Hydaspi- 
therium.
