258 LLOYD’S NATURAL HISTORY. 
VIII. MACROPUS MINOR. 
Sthenurus minor, Owen, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1877, p. 353. 
Macropus minor, Lydekker, Cat. Foss. Mamm. Brit. Mus., pt. 
V., p. 218 (1887). 
Distinguished from the last species by its considerably 
smaller dimensions, the shorter last premolar, and the propor- 
tionately narrower upper molars. 
Distribution—New South Wales and Queensland. 
GENUS TRICLIS. 
Triclis, De Vis, Proc. R. Soc., Queensland, ser. 2, vol. iii, p. 
8 (1888). 
I, TRICLIS OSCILLANS. 
Triclis oscillans, De Vis, loc. cit. ; 
Founded on a lower jaw from the superficial deposits of 
Queensland, which apparently belonged to an animal allied 
to Hypsiprymnodon, but of much larger dimensions. The 
fossil agrees with the living form in having the last premolar 
vertically grooved and inclined outwards, but differs, as it also 
does from every other member of the present family, in the 
presence of an additional minute tooth between the last pre- 
molar and the incisor, this additional tooth probably represent- 
ing the canine, but being possibly a premolar. In the presence 
of this tooth Z7viclts closely connects the Afacropodide with 
the Phalangeride 
FAMILY PHALANGERIDAL (supra p. 75). 
In addition to remains of several of the existing representa- 
tives of the family, certain bones are regarded as indicating 
the existence of extinct genera and species more or less nearly 
allied to the living ones ; all such bones having been obtained |
