Publ. Cent. Adv. Stud. Geol. Panjab Univ. No. 11: 45A-49A. 1 tab. 2 figs. 1 pl. 1 map.
–Abstr.: Himal. Geol. Sem., Panjab Univ., Chandigarh, Abstr. No. 18: 14-15, 1974. A revised and expanded version of Savage & Tewari (1977), this paper describes the same specimen of "Metaxytherium sp.", with identical descriptive text but with more detailed discussion of the locality, associated fauna, and age (here revised from Early Miocene to Late Oligocene) and with additional illustrations (photographs of upper molars and lumbar vertebra; geological map). The table of fossil sirenian records from the Indian Ocean is also revised to include those published by Sahni & Mishra (1975).
