Of this extinct species are present in the Dubois collection. Dubois named it Cervus liriocerus, but it is now a synonym of Cervus (Axis) lydekkeri MARTIN DUBO0981. First this rather small extinct species, with the size of a goat, was named Anoa santeng by Dubois, later he named it in honour of Kroesen, who was the Governor of the Dutch East Indies, Tetraceros kroesenii. On the label is written: Boselaphus Kroesenii van Trinil (af. Kgawi, Res. Madioen, Java) This species is only known from Java.
Others, however, ascribed the bones to an (upright-walking) ape. Dubois did not fail to exploit this difference of opinion. He pointed out that for some of his colleagues the fossils were apparently too primitive to be regarded as human, while for others they were too human-like to be assigned to an ape. Consequently, Pithecanthropus must have been something in between. In general there was also doubt if the specimens, the femur, skull cap and the molar belonged to one individual. Leonce Manouvrier considered the femur from a Homo sapiens, the molar from a great Ape, a gibbon, or an orang utan, and the skull cap looks like a young gibbon.
DUBO0822. Mandibles of Hexaprotodon sivajavanicus DUBOIS, 1908. Hexaprotodon is an extinct hippopotamus. It differs from the recent hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) in having 6 incisors, instead of 4 (see the middle mandible). Hooijer considered the hippopotamus to be the same as the one from the Siwaliks: Hexaprotodon sivalensis FALCONER AND CAUTLEY. Dubois named the species Hippopotamus (Hexaprotodon) sivajavanicus, which is its name again today. DUBO0830 right, shows a partial maxilla of Hexaprotodon 58 DUBO01022.
