xxii. INDIAN TERTIARY AND POST-TERTIARY VERTEBRATA. 
Owen belong to the same individual, while Koken’s upper premolar apparently 
agrees precisely with the homologous tooth of R. sivalensis figured in vol. II. pi. V. 
fig. 6 of this work, there seems no reason for separating the Chinese premolars from 
the true molars, and assuming that Dr. Koken is correct in identifying the latter 
with B. sivalensis the name B. sinensis should be abolished. 
Persia. — On page xv. of the preceding volume the occurrence of fossil mam- 
mals at Maragha in north-western Persia was briefly noticed. Further observations 
on this fauna have been published by Messrs Polilig,^ and Rodler,^ and the present 
writer has recently communicated a paper to the Geological Society^ recording the 
species and genera mentioned by those palaeontologists and Herr Grewingk,^ and 
adding some others. The majority of the mammals (with the exception of some 
later forms) appear identical with Pikermi species ; but the French Felis hrevirostris 
and Bhinoceros blanfordi of the north-west frontier of India and China are also met 
with, as well as a Bhinoceros apparently connecting B. antiquUatis^ with B. platyrhinus. 
It is suggested that the Maragha beds may be somewhat newer that the lower 
pliocene, but tlie relations of the newer types to those characteristic of the Pikermi 
beds are not yet determined. The apparent almost total absence of eastern Siwalik 
forms is noticed, and the suggestion made that there appears a decided distinction as 
regards species between the pliocene faunas of the Palsearctic and Oriental regions. 
LISTS OF NON-INDIAN MAMMALIA. 
General. — The writer’s examination of the non-Indian fossil Mammalia in the 
British Museum during his preparation of the Catalogue of that collection has 
enabled him to make several emendations in the lists given in this and the preceding 
volumes of the same series ; the most important of which may be noticed. 
Elephantidse [supra vol. I. p. 283). — The name M. americanus (Cuvier) is the 
correct one for M. maxinius. All the specimens figured in the “ F.A.S.” pis. XXXV., 
XL., and XLII. (some of which are refigured in Falconer’s “ Palseontological 
Memoirs,” vol. 1. pi. VIII. and vol. II. pis. I. and II.) with the exception of the one 
in pi. XL. fig. 15 under the name of M. andium, and so referred to in the first 
volume of this work, really belong to M. humholdti. The mandible of M. andium 
(the preferable name for which appears to be M. cordillerum) has a long symphysis 
with tusks.® 
Ursidse. — Amphicyon hrevirostris [supra vol. II. p. 247) is referred to Gephalogale 
[vide “ Cat. Foss. Mamm. Brit. Mus.” pt. I. p. 147). 
Anthracotheriidae. — In reference to the list of species of Anthracotherium given in 
vol. II. pp. 148, 149 it may be mentioned that a more complete one is given by 
Teller in the ‘ Beitr. Pal. Ost. Ung.’ vol. IV. pt. I. (1884). The so-called Hyopotamus 
gresslyi [supra vol. II. p. 157) has been referred to Anthracotherium [vide “ Cat. Foss.
