cannot be generically distinguished from the teeth of Hydaspitherium . The 
mandible is rather stouter than that of Vishnutherium , and the lower molars are 
distinguished from those of the latter genus by the absence of a ‘cingulum.’ The 
difference in size is the main point distinguishing the mandible and lower molars 
from those of Sivatherium and Hydaspitherium . 
Metacarpal and phalangeal.— The, only limb-bones referred to this genus which 
need specific mention here, are an imperfect metacarpal and a proximal phalangeal. 
A specimen of a lower half of the former bone is represented in figure 5 of plate E 
of the “ Eauna Antiqua Sivalensis,” which is the most perfect specimen of a 4 can- 
non-bone ’ of this genus yet known, the specimens in the Indian Museum being 
broken off lower down the shaft. As far as can be judged from the broken speci- 
mens, this bone appears to have had much the same proportions as the metacarpus of 
Hydaspitherium , but the condyles are separated by a wider interval. A specimen 
of a proximal phalangeal is represented, of half the natural size, in plate XVII, 
figure 6 of this memoir. It is of much the same type as the corresponding bone of 
Hydaspitherium. It is probable that the humerus and dorsal vertebra, described on 
page 207 of the first volume of the “ Palaeontological Memoirs ” by Dr. Ealconer 
as belonging to Camelopardalis, really belong to the present species. 
Distribution.-— Remains of this species have hitherto been recognized only from 
Perim Island, though it is possible that some of the teeth from the Punjab referred 
to Hydaspitherium may belong to it. The absence hitherto, however, of any 
remains of sivatheroids in the intermediate district of Sind may possibly indicate 
that the Perim and Punjab representatives of this group were distinct. 
Summary. — The known remains of Bramatlierium indicate that it was a four- 
horned ruminant resembling the hydaspithere in this point and in its length of 
limb. 
Genus VI : SIVATHERIUM S Bale, and Caut. 
Eour-horned ruminants, with each horn, or antler, arising from a distinct base, 
the anterior horns simple, and the posterior palmate. As the genus includes only 
one species, its history may be given under that head. 
Species: Sivatherium giganteum, Falconer and Cautley. 
History. — The first notice of the remains of this giant among ruminants ap- 
pears to be one by the late Sir W. E. (then Lieutenant) Baker, on an antler and 
some cervical vertebrae of a large ruminant from the Siwaliks, described as belonging 
to a species of elk 1 2 . This paper was published in September 1835, and the specimens 
therein described, which are now in the Indian Museum, were subsequently cata- 
logued by Dr. Ealconer as belonging to his Sivatherium. In October in the same 
year, a letter was communicated to the Asiatic Society of Bengal from Sir 
1 Siva (or properly Shiva), one of the Hindu trinity, and Therion.
