INDIAN TERTIARY AND POST-TERTIARY VERTEBRATA. 
Xll. 
Alcelaplius bakeri, Ljjd} — A new species founded u2)on a portion of a cranium 
in the British Museum [vide “ Cat. Foss. Mamin. Brit. Mus.” pt. II. p. 56). The 
occurrence of the large number of existing x4.frican genera of antelopes confirms 
the conclusion that the higher mammalian fauna of Africa has immigrated from the 
Oriental region. 
Propalseomeiyx. — This genus is merged in Palcvomeryx [vide “Cat. Foss. Mamm. 
Brit. Mus.” pt. II. p. 119). 
Camelus antiquus, Lydd [ex Falc. Caut. MS.) — The chief characters by which 
this species is distinguished from C. sivalemiH are its inferior size, the smooth enamel 
of the teeth, the concavity and vertical ridge in the middle of the inner surface of 
the lower true molars (the ridge being only observable in little-worn teeth), and the 
short deep mandible. The type remains are noticed in the “ Cat. Foss. Mamm. 
Brit. Mus.” pt. II. pp. 145-147. 
Cervus aristotelis and C. porcinus. — These existing Indian species have been 
provisionally added to the fauna of the Narbadas (see “ Cat. Foss. Mamm. Brit. 
Mus.” pt. II. pp. 103, 104). 
Merycopotamus nanus, Lijd.^ [ex Falc. MS.) — This species is distinguished from 
M. dissimilis by its somewhat inferior dimensions, the relatively narrower mandibular 
symphysis, shorter jaws, convex cranial profile, the absence 
of a fossa on the outer side of the mandible behind the 
canine, and the great concavity of the inner surface of 
the third lower true molar. The writer has not been able 
at present to distinguish between the upper true molars of 
this sjDecies and 31. dissimilis ; a detached tooth belonging 
to one of the two is represented in fig. 2. The type 
remains are noticed in the “ Cat. Foss. Mamm. Brit. Mus.” 
pt. II. pp. 211-213. 
Merycopotamus pusillus, Lyd .^ — This species is founded on a fragment of the 
right maxilla containing the third true molar, which is 
represented in fig. 3. The specimen was collected from the 
Siwaliks of Kushdlgarh, below Attock, by Lieuts. Garnett 
and Trotter sometime previously to 1865, and was submitted 
by the late Dr. Oldham to Dr. Falconer, on whose death it 
was presented by his brother, Charles Falconer, to the British 
Museum. Being identified by the present writer as the 
specimen noticed in “ Falconer’s Paljeontological Memoirs,” 
vol. I. p. 416 under the name of 3£erycopotamus nanus^, it was transferred in 1885 to 
Fig. 2. Merycopotamus, sp.— A 
right upper true molar ; from 
the Siwaliks of the Punjab. \. 
Indian Museum (No. B. 116). 
Fig. 3. Merycopotamus pusillus. 
— The third right upper true 
molar ; from the Siwaliks of 
Kushalgarh. -j. Indian 
Museum (No. B. 324).

5 The name M. nanus had been ap)plied by Falconer in MS ipidc Pal. Mem. vol. II. p. 407) to the last species, before he 
applied it to the Kushalgarh specimen, which he evidently regarded as distinct. When the collection of Kushalgarh 
specimens were returned to India, a label bearing the name M. nanus was attached to a tooth referred to Dorcatherlmn {vide 
‘ Palgeontologia Indica,’ ser. 10. vol. I. p. 62 [44]), which led the present writer to consider that Falconer had made a wrong 
generic identification.
