 This specimen is the type, and is figured by Owen in the

Genus PALORCHESTES. Owen, 1 . 



The mandibular symphysis is anchylosed, and both this and the 

 ramus are elongated ; the diastema is long. The premolars are like 

 those of Sthenurus : the true molars are without corrugations of the 

 enamel, and have no distinct anterior talon ; in the lower molars 

 the median longitudinal bridge is tall, and forms the continuation 

 of the curved outer extremity of the hinder ridge. There are no 

 palatal vacuities ; and the lower incisors are spatulate. 



In the absence of an anterior talon the upper true molars resemble 

 those of the existing Macropus magnus, Owen ; while the lower 

 ones approximate to those of some specimens of Nototherium. 



Palorchestes azael, Owen . 



Syn. Palorchestes crassus, Owen 3 . 



This is the type and only species, and is the largest known member
