II. — Further Observations on the Myology of Sarcophiliis 

 ursinus. By Alexander Macalister, M.B., Professor of 

 Zoology, University of Dublin, and Director of the Univer- 

 sity Museum. 



In the ' Annals ' for March 1870 I published an account of 

 the dissection of a young female Tasmanian Devil. Since 

 that time three specimens of this species have been brought 

 alive to the Dublin Zoological Gardens. Two of these still 

 live, and are in an exceedingly healthy condition ; one, how- 

 ever, did not survive its imprisonment for more than a few 

 months ; and I have had the opportunity of making a careful 

 examination of its muscles and of repeating ray former obsei 

 vations. 



As this second specimen was fresh, a male, and full-grown, 

 it was in far better condition for examination than its prede- 

 cessor in our dissecting-room, which was a salted specimen. 

 This individual was 30 inches long, and his muscles were 

 red, plump, and strong. 



The platysma myoides, and indeed all parts of the panni- 

 culus carnosus, were very strong and red, contrasting decidedly 

 with the weak undefined condition which they exhibited in
