face, the conspicuous buccal pit, the presence of two accessory cuspules 
between the meta- and entoconids, the very low, unworn entoconid. As 
compared with Sivapithecus sivalensis, the present M8 differs in the pro- 
nounced wrinkling of the enamel and the crenation of the lingual margin, 
ea ial relief of the main cusps, and the relative narrowness across the 
talonid. 
On the other hand, this third lower molar, except for its marked posterior 
elongation, shows a strong resemblance to M8 of the type of Bramapithecus 
thorpet, and the species punjabicus may indeed be partly intermediate in 
structure between the primitive Sivagithecus sivalensis and the highly spe- 
cialized and short-jawed Bramapithecus thorpei; but rather than base a 
new genus upon a single third lower molar (which is a highly variable 
tooth), we refer the specimen under consideration (No. 609, Y.P.M. 13833), 
along with the species “punjabicus,” to the genus Bramapithecus.

Discusston—The first lower molar (601, pl. 3, figs. 2, C) has the talonid 
as in Sugrivamthecus salmontanus, longer and wider in relation to the trig- 
onid than in Sivapithecus sivalensis. The forward displacement of the 
hypoconid may have conditioned the oblique wear in contrast to the trans- 
verse wear in Sivapithecus sivalensis. The hypoconid, as in Sugrivamthecus 
salmontanus, is relatively large as compared with the protoconid, in con- 
trast to Sivapithecus sivalensis. No. 602 is close to 601 but more worn. 
No. 610 has had the enamel chipped off its metaconid, thus changing 
dimensions and appearance.

M83 (No. 607) approaching type of Neopithecus brancot (Schlosser) in 
triangular outline but much larger. Hypoconulid far extended posteriorly, 
imparting a triangular contour to the crown. Very low breadth index, 
reminiscent of Dryopithecus sivalensis, but trigonid relatively wider than 
talonid, talonid even narrower, and hypoconulid more tapering than in 
D. sivalensis. “Cusp 7” present with accessory stem to Y. 
The surface of the crown (pl. 3D) has been damaged by erosion due to 
grass roots; this has given a false appearance of great wrinkling. The
