Forster-Cooper on new Mammals For the present, however, the question must remain in abeyance, since the type-specimen of B. giganteus is a single molar. Fie. The characters of this genus, so far as can be ascertained at present, are :— 1. Fourth upper premolar with the inner cusp much reduced. 2. Third lower molar much wider in front than behind. 3. The teeth generally are very brachybunodont (a cha- racter shared, of course, with other Anthracotheroid genera). Meas

The Traguloids thus far discovered in the Indian region are Tragulus sivalensis (Lyd.), Dorcutlterium minus (Lyd.), D. may us (Lyd.), Prodremotherium beatrix (Pilg.), and Gelocus gajensis (Pilg,). Of these forms Tragulus sivalensis is certainly represented in the present collection; Gelocus gajensis and Prodremo- therium beatrix probably occur also, but the specimens are not as yet fully determined. Among them, however, is an upper molar showing characters sufficiently distinct to warrant its description as a new species. The genus Gelocus has never properly been described ; it was founded by Ayniard on the species Amphitragulus com-.
