Abstract
A stegodont fourth upper premolar is described from the Dhokpathanian of Bhimbar, district Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. The tooth being primitive in structure of its ridge-crests and the crown height has been composed with the primitive stegodonts. A detailed study has indicated that it is conspecific with the Chinese Tertiary and the Siwaliks. The discovery of a Chinese species from the Siwaliks means that the proboscidean migration was possible across Himalayas during Lower/Middle Pliocene.
