Nototherium mitchelli, Owon '. 



Including: Nototherium inerme, Owen' 2 . 

 Nototherium victories, Owen 3 . 



The form described as N. inerme is somewhat smaller than the 

 type of N. mitchelli, and differs slightly in the characters of the 

 cheek-teeth; a large series of specimens show, however, such a 

 gradation in these respects, that the writer has followed Flower in 

 provisionally including all the specimens under one name. N. victories 

 is apparently founded on characters which are merely individual.

 showing m. 4, a fragment of m. 3, and the bases of the 

 remaining cheek-teeth; from the Pleistocene of Scone,

 the former.
