FAUNA OF THE KARNUL CAVES.

The specimen in figs. 1,1a belongs to the tight side, and is but slightly worn ; it 
exhibits the comparative hypsodontism characteristic of this species, and the very 
small size of the inner accessory column. The specimen represented in fig. 3 is 
considerably more worn, and belongs to the left side. The right first or second 
lower true molar represented in fig. 4 of the sairle plate was obtained from bed Cc 
of the Cathedral. 
(?) Cervulus muntjac (Zimmermann). 
Syn. Cervulus aureus , Auct. 
Upper molar. — The imperfect tooth from the Purgatory cave represented in pi. 
XI. figs. 11, 11a agrees exactly with the corresponding portion of the second right 
upper true molar of the muntjac, and may probably be referred to that species, 
although it is very difficult to distinguish such an imperfect specimen from the 
corresponding tooth of Tetraceros quadricornis. 
Tragulus (cf. meminna [Erxleben]). 
Metapodials. — Two specimens of the distal half of metapodials wanting the 
epiphyses (No. F. 307), from bed Cc in the Cathedral, indicate the presence of a 
chevrotain, which is probably identical with the existing Indian species, among the 
Karnul fauna. 
Sus cristatus, Wagner. 
Occurrence. — Detached teeth of Sus occur very commonly in nearly all the beds of 
the Cathedral, and in many of those of the other caves. The difference in the size 
of the cheek-teeth indicates the occurrence of two forms, one of which may be 
identified with the existing Indian species, while the other apparently indicates a 
new species. Since the third true molars afford the best distinctive characters, com- 
parisons will be in the main confined to these teeth. 
Lower molars. — Three specimens of the third left lower true molar from beds 
Cb and Cc in the Cathedral are represented in pi. IX. figs. 1, 2, 4, of which the one 
in fig. 1 is the most, and that in fig. 4 the least worn. 1 The fragment of the right 
ramus of a mandible with the three true molars represented in fig. 5 of the same 
plate was obtained by Mr. Foote from a turbary in Madras in company with the 
molar of Rhinoceros unicornis figured in pi. X. fig. 3. The teeth of the latter speci- 
men, which from the complexity of the talon (b, c, d) may 
be inferred to have belonged to a male, agree exactly in 
size with those of average individuals of the existing 
race, of which a third lower molar is figured in the 
accompanying woodcut ; but the Karnul specimens are
