lias considerable relations to tlie Siwalik, indicating some land connection between the two 
areas, perhaps something like that which exists at the present day ; on the other hand, the 
Faunae of Perim Island and the Kushalghar beds are markedly distinct. Nothing definite 
can at present be predicted regarding the other beds. 
Having now shortly glanced at the relations of the fossil fauna among themselves, 
we may consider their relations firstly to the present fauna of the globe, and secondly to the 
fossil fauna of other regions. The lists given above (excluding the Post-Pliocene period) con¬ 
tain upwards of forty-six well established genera of Mammalia ; of these, the following 
twenty-five, or rather more than one-half of the total number, are now extinct, viz .:— 
Pkoboscidia, Mastodon, Stegodon, Dinotherium. 
Peeissodactyla, Antoletheriinn, Acerotheriwm, Bippotherium, Listriodon. 
Abtiodactyla, Bexaprotodon, Tetraconodon, MerycopotamuS, Bippohyus, Bramatheri- 
um, Vishnutherium, Sivatherium, Bemibos, Amphibos, Peribos, Dorcatherium, Cloali- 
cotherium. 
Rodentia, Typhlodon. 
Cabnivoba, Drepanodon, Ampliicyon, Bycenarctos, Ursitaxus, Enhydriodon. 
Of the remaining geuera there are now found living in India or the adjacent countries 
the following seventeen, viz.: — 
Pkoboscidia, Euelephas. 
Peeissodactyla, Bhinoceros, Equus. 
Abtiodactyla, Cervus, Antilope, Capra, Bison ( Poephagus ), Bos {Bibos), Sus. 
Rodentia, Bystrix. 
Cabnivoba, Eel is, By ana, Lutra, Canis, Ur sus. 
Quadbumana, Semnopitliecus, Macacus. 
The above list shows that rather more than one-third of the genera of the middle tertiary 
Mammalia of India are still living in Asia ; if now we turn to the living Mammalian fauna of 
Africa, we find the following twelve genera common to it and to the Indian Tertiary 
Mammalian Fauna, viz. — 
Pkoboscidia, Loxodon. 
Peeissodactyla, Bhinoceros, Equus. 
Abtiodactyla, Bippopotamus (representing Bexaprotodon), Bubalus, Camelopardalis, 
Capra, Antilope. 
Cabnivoba, By etna, Lutra, Felts, Canis. 
As being closely connected with our present subject, we may notice here the great number 
of living Mammalian genera common to the continents of India and Africa (south 
of the Sahara). The following list of forms (exclusive of Cheiroptera) common to the 
two continents was kindly given to me by Mr. W. T. Blanford ; it comprises twenty-three 
genera, viz. :— 
Peoboscidia, Elephas (Loxodon in Africa and Euelepthas in India. 
Peeissodactyla, Antilope (subgenera), Gazella, Capra, Bubalus. 
Sieenia, Balicore. 
Rodentia, Sciurus, Bystrix, Mus, Gerbillus, Lepus. 
Insectivoea, Erinaceus, Sorex (Crocidura). 
Cabnivoba, Belts (sp. leo. and leopardus), Canis (sp. aureus), Mustela (Himalayas), 
Byxna, Viverra Paradoxurus, Lutra, Aonyx, Berpestes, Mellivora.
