CEANIA OP RUMINANTS PROM THE INDIAN TERTIARIES. 56—142 
The nasals are received into an angular fissure of the frontals, then’ apices ascending 
nearly to a line with the anterior (inferior) border of the orbits. 
“ The orbits differ in a remarkable manner from those of the ordinary Bovine 
Bmiinants in having their greatest diameter in the vertical direction instead of 
antero-posteriorly. Between the supra-orbital foramina there is a raised portion of 
the surface of the frontals of a horse-shoe shape, about a line in thickness, and 
with a rugous and fimbriated margin about two inches in breadth ; the sinus at the 
posterior (superior) part passing gradually into the surface of the frontals. This 
rugous disc is unknown in other Ruminants. The maxillaries contract sharply in 
front of the orbits ; their tuberosities are very prominent. 
“ Teeth . — The three posterior molars on the left side are well worn, showing 
the animal to have been fully adult, and a large accessory pillar, narrow and com- 
pressed, but of considerable depth, is seen in the sinus between the two barrels of 
each molar on its inner side as in the Bovine Ruminants. The palate is broad.” 
Most of the following dimensions were also given by Dr. Palconer : —

“ The dimensions of the two orbits differ a little in consequence of crusliing 
on the right side. The principal distinctive marks are : The occipital not rising
