In this species, which is one of the largest existing Kangaroos, 

 the upper true molars (as in all the preceding species) have no 

 longitudinal bridge between the anterior ridge and talon ; pm. 4 is 

 shorter than m. 1 ; pm . 4, which has a simple secant crown, is fre- 

 quently shed in old individuals ; the alveolar border of the mandibular 

 diastema descends rapidly in advance of the last-named tooth ; and 

 i-J* is of moderate length. M. erubescens, Sclater, cannot be palffion- 

 tologically separated from this species. The molars in this and the 

 following species are more elongated and somewhat more complex 

 than in all the preceding forms.
