the distal end of a left femur wanting the outer condyle. The 

 breadth of its shaft near junction with the epiphysis is 57mni., 

 between the same points in the femur of Af. origanteus the 

 measurement is 46, in M. rufus 45. The mean length of the 

 lower cheek teeth in these two largest of living Kangaroos 

 (Queensland specimens) is 48mm. Proportionately, therefore, 

 the molar series of the species examplified by the fossil should be 

 60mm. in length, indicating neai'ly either Macropus magister, 

 Habitaturus anak or Halmahirus dryas, and since we find it in 

 contiguity with mandibles of the last species, M^e may with some 

 show of reason, refer it to that species. On the same grounds the 

 distal third or thereabouts of a right femur may also be attributed 

 to H. dryas. In this both condyles are sufficiently well preserved 

 to indicate their form, which in the case of the inner condyle 

 of the preceding fossil seems to have been considerably altered by 

 the decay of its inner edge. This condyle is peculiar in shape, 

 being broader than the outer one and much more revolute on its 

 inner edge than in any living Macropod. Across the condyles the 

 bone is 59mm. in breadth. It most probably belonged to a large 

 individual of H. dryas ; less probably under the circumstances to 

 H. anak. 



Tilnas. A part 50mm. in length of the lower half of a shaft. 

 At the distal end it measures 28mm. in breadth against 24'5 in 

 the corres|)onding place in J/, giganieus. The lower molar series 

 would in this individual be 55mm. in length, by virtue of which 

 the bone may be added to the other remains of If. dryas. It has 

 no peculiarity worth mentioning. The same may be said of the 

 middle third of a shaft from an animal of approximately tlie same 

 size and presumaljly the same species. 



Metatarsal. A distal two-thirds 100mm. long of a great 

 nietatarsal indicates a somewhat shorter and distinctly stouter 

 bone than that of Macropus gigaiiteus. This accords with the 

 great raetatarse appropriated to H. dryas in a restoration of the 

 foot of that species exhibited with others in the Queensland 

 Museum. 



Ifalmaturus anak, Ow. 



Femur. The presence of this species is intimated by the distal 

 half of a right femur having in its present condition a breadth
