MOLAR TEETH AND OTHER REMAINS OE MAMMALIA. 
Genus Sanitherium, E . von Meyer. 
In my paper on Tertiary Mammals^' above quoted this genus was unfortunately 
omitted from the list of Indian forms ; it was provisionally established by Professor 
von Meyer in 1866 for the reception of some small molar teeth of a Suine animal 
Falceontogra'phica,’’ vol. XV, 15) collected by the Messrs. Schlagintweit at 
Kushalghar. On comparing these figures with the specimen of the lower molar of 
Sus ^nisillus of Ealconer in the Indian Museum, I found the two were identical. 
Although Ealconer’s specimen was named in manuscript before 1866, the name was 
not published till 1868 in the “ Palaeontological Memoirs.” Professor H. von Meyer’s 
specific name {S. schlagintweitii), therefore, must stand. I may here add that in 
the same paper Professor von Meyer has described another species of Equus 
{E. ‘primigenins) from the Kushalghar beds, and from the lower Siwaliks of N urpfir 
in Chamba : the species is distinct from either E. sivalensis, or Eippotlierium antilo- 
pinum ; the existence of this third species, common to European and American 
tertiaries, is another proof of the distinctness of the Mammalian fauna of these beds, 
from that of the upper typical Siwaliks of Ealconer; the Nurpiir beds from which 
also Ampliicyon was derived being at the very base of the Siwaliks. 
Sanitherium schlagintweitii, E. von Meyer. Plate 9, figs. 6 to 9. 
Of this species I have copied two of Professor Von Meyer’s figures {^^Ealceonto- 
grapMca,'^ vol. XV, pi. II, Jigs. 9, 10) (figs. 6 and 7), and have added two figures of 
Ealconer’s specimen {Sus pusillus) (figs. 8 and 9). A translation of Professor von 
Meyer’s description of his specimen is as follows “ The fragment represented 
belongs to the left ramus of the mandible, and contains a complete tooth, probably the 
penultimate molar, with the first lobe of the last molar. The former tooth has a length 
of O’Oll mm., and has its anterior lobe considerably worn down ; its greatest width 
is 0'008 mm. Erom each of the main tubercles of the transverse ridges of the 
crown a projection runs down to its postero-internal angle ; this projection is well 
seen on the anterior one of the outer tubercles. Between the transverse ridges there 
is an accessory tubercle ; besides this there is a distinct talon-ridge on both anterior 
and posterior surfaces, and on the outer surface a crenulated cingulum, while the 
antero- external main tubercle is connected with the anterior talon-ridge ; this con- 
dition is well seen on the fragment of the last molar. The animal was about half 
the size of Sus hysudricus, and there is no mention of such an animal in the “ Eauna 
Antiqua Sivalensis,” or elsewhere in papers on Asia. 
“ The teeth remind us of those of Cheer opotamus, but are smaller ; they are also 
related to those of Eyracotherium, and are of nearly the same size; the lower molars 
of this genus are, however, not known to me ; besides, there are other Siiince, such as 
Eeccari, Bahirusa, Eyolherium, 8fC., which, however, have very distinct accessory 
tubercles, and which lack the crenulated cingulum on the lower molars.
