OrpER XLVI. MARSUPIALIA. (THE MarsovpiAts.) 
Young developed without a placenta, and born at a very early 
stage and incomplete condition of development. The young at 
birth are usually placed in an abdominal pouch formed by a fold of 
skin about the milk glands of the mother, where they remain for a 
considerable time. Reproductive organs in both sexes of peculiar 
structure, nearly all the parts being double in the female. Skele- 
ton showing numerous peculiarities, the teeth usually more numer- 
ous than in the higher Mammals. Brain small, the corpus callosum 
rudimentary. Heart with two vene cave. This large group is 
chiefly confined to Australia. It represents an early or primitive 
type of Mammalia, which has now become extinct in most parts of 
the world. The single non-Australian family approaches most 
nearly to ordinary Mammals. (Lat., marsupium, pouch.)
