has lost part of the inner column of the anterior lobe, from bed Aa in the Chapter- 
House, is represented from the external aspect in pi XI. fig. 10. Mr. Foote 1 refers 
to this species a fragment of the left ramus of a mandible (No. F. 285) from bed L in 
the Charnel-House, containing the much- worn mTT and n TV ; while the right ramus of 
a very young animal with the three milk-molars represented in pi. XI. figs. 14, 14a 
may also be referred to it. The latter agrees very closely with a slightly older 
specimen of the opposite ramus of the Siwalik form represented in vol. III. pi. 
XIII. fig. 4. 
Genus, non. det. 
Upper molar . — The partially-worn and slightly imperfect left upper true molar 
from bed Cb of the Cathedral represented in pi. XI. figs. 2, 2a apparently indicates 
the occurrence of a large antelope belonging to the group which comprises the 
genera Oryx, Palceoryz, Addax, and Hippotragus. The tooth is characterized by the 
square form of the base of the crown, the large size of the inner accessory column, 
and the well-developed costas on the outer surface. Among living antelopes the 
specimen comes nearest to the teeth of Oryx and Hippotragus, but apparently in- 
dicates a more brachydont form ; it differs from the former by being narrower, and 
by the absence of the antero-posterior expansion of the accessory column. The 
molars of the Pikermi species of Palceoryx have a flatter outer surface, and a very 
minute accessory column ; but the tooth of the so-called Antilope boodon, from the 
pliocene of France, which is referred by M. Dep4ret 2 to Palceoryx is exceedingly like 
the Indian fossil. The latter differs from the molars of Orecis, Strepsiceros, and 
Palceoreas , by the more marked external costae, and from the existing species of the 
two former genera by the presence of the large accessory column, although resem- 
bling the fossil forms in this respect. 3 
Gazella benetti (Sykes). 
Mandible. — The imperfect left mandibular ramus from bed Ca in the Cathedral 
represented in pi. XI. figs. 15, 15a agrees precisely with the mandible of a female of 
this species in the British Museum (No. 617d) 4 ; the relative shortness of the pre- 
molars, which is a characteristic feature of the genus, being well shown in the fossil. 
A fragment of the left ramus of the mandible of a male (No. F. 279) was obtained 
from bed / in the Charnel-House ; and it is not improbable that an atlas vertebra 
(No. F. 279a) from the Purgatory cave, an axis (No. F. 279 b) from the Cathedral, 
and some metapodials and phalangeals (No. 279 c) may also belong to the present 
species.
