JS-istory. — In a previous fasciculus of the present volume of the “ Palseonto- 
logia Indica,” ^ I have already figured and described certain molar teeth of a 
species of Indian Dinotlierium under the name of D. penta;potamice^ and in the 
same notice I have given the history of the species. At the time of publica- 
tion of that notice, the teeth figured and described were the only specimens 
belonging to D. 'pentajpotamicB, contained in the collection of the Indian Museum. 
Subsequent collections, made by Messrs. W. T. Blanford and Pedden in Sind, and 
by Mr. Theobald in the Punjab, have, however, greatly enriched the series of teeth 
of that species in the Indian Museum, and have rendered it necessary to add a 
second notice to my previous descriptions. The most important of these new speci- 
mens, together with two specimens of fragments of the mandible, which were trans- 
ferred to the Indian Museum from the collection of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 
are now figured and described in Plates XXIX to XXXI of this memoir. Of the 
two last mentioned specimens a short notice by myself has already appeared in the 
“ Records of the Geological Survey of India.”^ 
Mandible. — The specimen represented in fig. 1 of PI. XXIX is one of the two 
specimens mentioned above, as having been transferred from the collection of the 
Asiatic Society of Bengal. It was found stowed away in an old box with a few other 
mammalian fossils, without any trace of label or ticket. That it came from the 
Siwaliks is, however, perfectly evident from the circumstance that the specimen is 
still covered in many places with a coating of the very characteristic grey Siwalik 
sandstone. 
The fragment carries two molar teeth, the hindmost and least-worn of which

* It ma}', perhaps, be not out of place to give the etymology of the ievm pentapotamice, which might not be under- 
stood by the non-Indian reader. “ Pentapotamia ” is Falconer’s Greek translation of the Punjab ; the Indian word, as 
is well known, means the “ country of the five rivers” {Punj or Panch, five, and ah, water or river) ; Pentapotamia 
is formed, like Mesopotamia, from ttIvts (five) and TroVajaof (river).
