the skull called Zygomaturus f but claimed a cast of it, as 

 a replica of the skull that should have been associated 

 with the type jaws of his genus Nototherium. We hold 

 a very exact copy of Professor Owen's cast, and have 

 checked it with his description and measurements, and 

 found it to agree in toto, but the real skull, that has come 

 to us, is more powerful in the essentia] parts, and accen- 

 tuates the Rhinoceros habits in a most marked degree. In 

 working over this east, with Professor Owen's descriptive 

 text as a guide, the master mind of the greal comparative 

 anatomist stands boldly out, and the pity is Owen is not 



bo deal with this splendid find from the Tasmanian 

 pleistocene formations. This latest addition to our know- 

 ledge shows that the cerathine Nototheria were much 



r animals than the genus were suspected of produc- 

 ing, and we quit to find Euiley's Diprotodon 

 minor thus accounted for, not so much for its original 

 description a- far its Later acceptance by others, who, find- 



Nototherian remains relating to the appendicular 

 skeleton, naturally relegated them to Diprotodon minor, 

 but thi ion we shall deal with very fully Later.
