CEANIA or EUMINANTS EEOM THE INDIAN TEETIAEIES. 5—92 
in other countries. Professor Eutimeyer, in his “ Ancient Euminant Eauna of 
Switzerland,” considers the derivation of the three genera to have taken place in the 
following order, commencing from the oldest, mg., Bubalus, Bison, and Bos ; the 
high frontal ridge of the latter genus the Professor considers as a highly specialised 
character, which did not make its appearance in Europe till the post-Pliocene 
period ; in India this character must have been differentiated at an earlier period, 
as the remains of Bos are found throughout the Siwalik, which we cannot regard as 
being newer than older Phocene. 
The remains of Sheep have hitherto been met with very rarely in the Indian 
Tertiaries ; we have no remains of this group in the Indian Museum. Goats are 
also rare, hut I have distinguished three species, one of which was probably the 
ancestor of the living Markhoor, while another seems more closely allied to the 
Nilghiri Semiti^agus hylocrinus ; the third species does not show afffnity to any living 
Indian form. 
Including the new species described in the present Memoir the list of Indian 
Tertiary Euminants will be as follows : —

The three species of oxen. Bos acutifrons. Bos planifrons, and Buhalus platy- 
ceros, and also the peculiar genus Hydaspidotherium or Kydaspitherium, have been 
already named and noticed by me in the Eecords of the Geological Survey of India.'^ 
In regard to the distribution in time of the fossil Indian genera of Euminants, 
we find that in Europe the remains of the restricted genus Bos are only found in 
Pleistocene and recent strata : in Nicholson’s Palaeontology (p. 439) it is stated that 
‘ The teeth of this species are so like those of Bos that it may be well to mention that they h.ave been found 
attached to a part of an undoubted cervine skull.
