238—30 INDIAN TERTIARY AND POST-TERTIARY VERTEBRATA. 
very similar dorsal vertebra has been obtained from the lower Siwaliks of Sind 
(Ind. Mus. No. E. 205a). 
The resemblance of the specimen represented in fig. 4 to the dorsal vertebrae of 
P. molurus is so close, that, in the absence of any evidence of an opposite nature, it 
may be at least provisionally referred to that species. The smaller specimens, 
evidently indicate a' closely allied form, which may or may not be specifically 
identical. 
Distribution . — As already mentioned, P. molurus ranges at the present day from 
peninsular India to southern China, and the larger Siwalik vertebra noticed above 
appears to carry back its range in time into the pliocene, and to extend it in space 
to the northern Punjab.
