304 LLOYD’S NATURAL HISTORY. 
likewise been recorded by Broom* from the Pleistocene of 
New South Wales. Most interesting is a small form described 
by the latter writer under the name of Burramys parvus, 
which appears to connect Hypsiprymnodon very closely with 
the Phalangers. It has grooved fourth premolars, and two small 
teeth between the third premolar and the first lower incisor, 
while there is no pit on the outer side of the lower jaw. He 
also records remains of the existing Petaurus breviceps and 
Dromicia nana from the New South Wales caverns. Paleope 
taurus, from the same deposits, appears to be allied both to 
Petaurus and Gymnobelideus. A new species of Pseudtochirus 
is likewise recorded by the same writer from these deposits. 
In the Diprotodontide, De Vist considers that /Vofotherium is 
not entitled to form a family by itself. In the Phascolomyide 
the identity of Sceparnodon with Phascolonus is confirmed by 
Stirling.$ 
The reference of the Epanorthide, Abderitide, and Garzo- 
niide of the Tertiaries of Patagonia to the Diprotodontia has 
been already referred to under the heading of Canolestes. 
Whereas in the first of these families the last premolar is of 
normal form, in the second it is greatly enlarged and grooved. 
In the Peramelida, Broom || records remains of two living 
species of Phascologale from the New South Wales caverns. 
In the Dasyuride, De Vis §| has described an extinct species of 
Thylacinus from the Queensland Tertiaries, and Ameghino ** 
has recorded various allied forms from the Santa Cruz beds of 
Patagonia under the names of Prothylactnus, Napodonictis, 
Anutherium, Cladosictis, Amphipreviverra, Sipalocyon, and 
Letioborus.
