(Introduction) The Yale-Cambridge India Expedition of 1935, under the direction of Dr. H. de Terra, secured from several localities in the Siwalik bills a small but valuable collection of fossil ape teeth and parts of jaws; these prove to be of considerable importance, especially when added to the collections of the Yale North India Expedition of 1931- 1933. Through the kindness of the Director of the Geological Survey of India, a small collection of Siwalik anthropoid teeth in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, bas been loaned to us for study and description. Accurate casts of the type specimens of Lydekker's and Pilgrim's species were supplied by the same institution, and we are also indebted to the Prince of Wales College Museum at Jammu for the loan of the third lower molar described below (p. 18) .
