132—34 INDIAN TERTIARY AND POST-TERTIARY VERTEBRATA. 
P. T. Cautley \ in which the name Sivatherium is incidentally mentioned, apparently 
for the first time. In 1836 a memoir on this genus, with illustrations, appeared both 
in the “Asiatic Researches” 2 and in the “Journal of the Asiatic Society of 
Bengal ” 3 . 
In 1837 Colonel Colvin communicated a note, with illustrations, on an occiput 
and lower jaw of the Sivatherium 4 . 
In 1839 the original skull described by Messrs. Ealconer and Cautley, together 
with the last-mentioned lower jaw, was again figured by Dr. Royle 5 . 
In his “ Odontography,” published between 1840 and 1845, Professor Owen 
makes a few remarks on the teeth of Sivatherium , and figured the last lower true 
molar (pi. cxxxiii, fig. 3). 
In the “Eauna Antiqua Sivalensis,” the bones of the skull and the greater 
part of the skeleton are figured in plates xci, and xcii a, b, c, and d. 
In 1859 a considerable number of remains of Sivatherium were described by 
Dr. Ealconer in his “ Catalogue of the Siwalik collections of the Asiatic Society of 
Bengal.” 
In 1862 Professor Gaudry showed 6 that a skull assigned by Ealconer and 
Cautley to the female of Sivatherium , belonged to the allied genus Helladotherium. 
In 1862, the late Dr. Murchison published the “ Palaeontological Memoirs” 
which contains a reprint with illustrations of Dr. Ealconer’s papers, and also an 
appendix published for the first time (vol. I, p. 266). This appendix contains a 
description of the specimen of the occiput described by Colonel Colvin and of 
numerous bones. 
In 1871, Professor Murie published an elaborate memoir on the present genus 7 
with restored figures of the skeleton and of the complete animal. 
In the previous volume of this work there are various incidental allusions to 
Sivatherium giganteum , and an upper true molar is represented in figure 3 of 
plate XXVII. The above are all the original notices of this species of any im- 
portance with which I am acquainted. 
Object of present notice. — The Siwalik collection of the Indian Museum con- 
tains comparatively few remains of Sivatherium , since that genus does not seem 
to occur in the Siwaliks either of the western Punjab or of Sind, from which dis- 
tricts by far the greater portion of the collection was obtained. There are, therefore, 
but few new specimens of any importance to describe, and indeed, the memoirs of 
Dr. Ealconer on this subject are so full and accurate that little remains to be added 
to them. The present notice will, therefore, be confined to some brief remarks on 
various portions of the skeleton and on the serial position of the genus, in the latter
