Tertiary.'] PALEONTOLOGY OF VICTORIA. [Mammalia. 



occur. For an almost similar one I am indebted to Miss Wales, who 

 kindly wrote me a most interesting account of the cave in which it was 

 found ; the entrance to the cave being situated in a precipitous 

 cliff on the shore of Lake Burrumbeet, at Camperdown ; the bone 

 in each of these skulls is so little altered that it scarcely adheres to 

 the tongue, and is not mineralized at all. The portion of left 

 ramus of lower jaw figured on Plate LXI., fig. 5, is from a cave 

 five miles S. by E. of Gisborne, and, like the remains of the Dingo 

 found with it, is highly mineralized and stained by ferruginous 

 infiltrations. A skull and teeth in perfect preservation was got by 

 the officers of the Geological Survey deeply buried in the red clays 

 of Baringhup, on the River Loddon. 



Locality : Common in the ossiferous caves and Pleistocene 

 deposits of Victoria, near Camperdown, Queenscliff, Gisborne, &c.

 reversed), natural size. Fig. 5a, same specimen, viewed from above. 



Plate LXI I. Fig. 1, skull from sandy beds under the Pleistocene limestone of Queenscliff, 

 natural size, viewed from above. Fig. la, same specimen, viewed from below. Fig. Ib, half of

Plate LXIII. Fig. 1, view of skull and lower jaw of same specimen, from the side. Fig. la, 

 teeth of upper jaw, viewed from the outside, magnified two diameters. (Fig. 2, outline of 

 corresponding teeth, similarly magnified, from recent specimen.) Fig. \b, teeth of lower jaw, 

 viewed from outer side, magnified two diameters. (Fig. 2a, outline of corresponding teeth, 

 similarly magnified, from recent example.) Fig. le, teeth of upper jaw, viewed from inner side, 

 magnified two diameters. Fig. la*, teeth of lower jaw of same specimen, viewed from inner side.
