INDIAN TERTIARY AND POST-TERTIARY VERTEBRATA. 
DESCRIPTIONS 
OP THE 
MOLAR TEETH AND OTHER REMAINS OF MAMMALIA. 
By R. LYDEKKER, B.A., 
GEOIOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA. 
The present memoir is the second of a series intended, as far as possible, to com- 
plete our knowledge of the Vertebrate Paunse of the tertiary and post-tertiary strata 
of India, a work which was left unfinished at the death of Dr. Falconer ; since that 
time many new forms of mammalia have been collected by different members of 
the Geological Survey, and more especially by Mr. Theobald. The present part 
chiefly contains descriptions of specimens selected from a very large series of 
detached molar teeth, now in the collection of the Indian Museum. Many of these 
belong to new species or genera, or have been hitherto known merely by slight 
notices or small-sized figures in the “ Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis” and the “ Palaeonto- 
logical Memoirs” of Dr. Falconer. 
The first part of the paper treats of the molar teeth of all the species of fossil 
Indian 'Rhinoceros at present known, and of which there are a large series in the 
Indian Museum ; the second part describes the molars of other genera, chiefly 
TJngulata^yyxxi also comprising Dinoiherimi, Manis, and Amphicyon ; this somewhat 
heterogeneous mixture of genera can scarcely he avoided in taking up a subject 
parts of which have already been completed ; in this paper I have described species 
of which in most cases we possess little more than the molar teeth or solitary bones, 
or species of which the crania have been previously figured, hut of which the teeth 
have never been described.
