3 the anterior part of the jaw is seen. The canine appears to be 

 small, though as the specimen figured (PL viii. fig. 3) is from a 

 young animal, the canine has probably not attained its full size. 

 P^ and p"^ resemble the upper teeth in size, and are both fur- 

 nished with small anterior and posterior secondary cusps. P* is 

 relatively large. Lower molars resemble those of P. ohesula.

Thylacinus cynocephalus, Harris. 



Of this species I have found two teeth — a perfect lower canine 

 and a perfect lower premolar — but no bones. 



Phascologale flavipes, Waterh. 



This small pouched mouse is represented by a very large num- 

 ber of jaws and other remains. It appears to be the commonest 

 species in the deposit with the exception of the Bush Rat. So 

 far as I have been able to make out, the fossil animal in no way 

 differs from the existing species. Phascologale jiavipes is still 

 found in the district, and though it is very rare if not extinct in 

 the settled parts, in the wilder regions it is fairly common. 



Phascologale pexicillata, Shaw. 



This species though met with is distinctly rare. I have only 

 found one complete lower jaw, a fragment of a second, and two 

 fragments of the upper jaw. The anterior premolars and canine 

 are a trifle larger than in the recent skull in my possession (a 

 female), but there is no doubt that the remains belong to the
