Abstract
The first part of the “Records of the Geological Survey of India” for 1879 contains some interesting notes by Mr. R. Lydekker, B.A., descriptive of a “few fragmentary bird-remains” recently obtained from the Tertiary deposits of the Siwaliks, and preserved in the Geological Museum at Calcutta. The subjects of most interest alluded to in this memoir are some bones referred to Dromœus, by Mr. Lydekker, and his remarks thereon, and upon some bones of kindred birds which form part of the extensive series of vertebrate remains collected in the same range of hills by the late Colonel Sir Proby T. Cautley, then Captain in the Bengal Artillery, and presented by him to the National Collection.Keywords
