AcKNOW'LEDGMENT. — The illustration of the reconstruction of the 

 cranium (Text-fig. 1) is due to the enthusiasm and skill of Mr. O. W. Tiegs, 

 B.Sc, Walter and Eliza Hall Fellow in Biology, Queensland University. 



Special Acknowledg^ient. — ^Ir. G. H. Perry, who has taken a keen 

 interest in Queensland fossils, has generously defrayed the cost of printing this 

 part of the Queensland ^luseum ^lemoirs. The Director very heartily thanks 

 ^Ir. Perry for his public-spirited action.
