SIWALIK SELENODONT SUINA, ETC. 
11—152 
<( Les Enchainements du Monde Animal ,” figs. 1 1 1 and 113). In other species, however, 
as in A. breviceps, 1 the molars of Anthracotherium are more truly selenodont, and appear 
to be with great difficulty distinguishable from those of Hyopotamus ; this appears to 
be the case with the present and the next species. The dimensions of the specimen 
are as follows : — 
In. 
Length of 1st molar 0-5 
Width of „ „ 0-4 
Length of 2nd ,, 0-6 
Width of ,, ,, 0-42 
Length of 3rd ,, 0-92 
Width of „ 0-44 
Depth of jaw 1 '38 
Thickness of ,, 0-5 
As these dimensions agree so well with those of the upper molars of Anthracotherium 
silistrense , it appears highly probable that the mandible should be referred to that 
species. 
It may be observed that as the premolars are not present it is impossible to say 
whether the form of those teeth agreed with that of the premolars of Anthracotherium • 
or of the allied genus j Hemihyus, which appears to be distinguished mainly by the 
form of these teeth. 2 
Summary. — No other remains of this species have hitherto come under the 
writer’s notice, but those above described are amply sufficient to prove the former 
existence, in India, of a small strong-jawed species of anthracothere closely allied to 
the species from the brown-coal of Europe. 
Distribution . — This species had a wide distribution in space, as its upper molars 
have been found in Sind, in the extreme west of India, and in the Gr&ro Hills in the 
extreme east. The lower jaws, on the assumption that they belong to the same 
species, have been found in the intermediate district of the Punjab. This species, 
from its occurrence in the lower Manchhar series, is not improbably only of earlier 
pliocene age, as it is quite probable that the specimens from the Punjab were derived 
from beds low down in the Siwalik series. 
Species 2. Anthkacothekium hyopotamoides. n. sp. Nobis. 
History. — This species is mentioned here for the first time, as it is founded on 
an upper molar tooth obtained in the early part of the year 1882, by Mr. W. T. 
Blanford, from the lower Manchhar rocks of the Bhugti hills, north of the Sind 
frontier, and considered at first to belong to the same species as an upper molar 
referred to a species of Hyopotamus, mentioned in the “ Records ” 3 for that year, 
and described in the sequel. Other remains described below are provisionally 
referred to the same species. 4
