Table (continued). 



Leaving aside for the present the " Kangaroos " which have not 

 been referred to any genus or species, we will proceed to the evidence 

 relating to Macropus major. The condition of the median canal in 

 11 instances is recorded. In two of these young had been produced, 

 and it was closed. In one young had been produced, and it was open. 

 In one young had probably not been produced, for it was a young one, 

 and the median canal was closed. As to the remaining seven, in which 

 the question is uncertain, six of them had the canal closed, and 

 one only had it open. If it be true, as we shall afterwards try 



1 Three is the smallest number ("plusieurs" in addition to the original 

 one.) 

 ^ Mr. W. A. Forbes has informed us of this example since the paper was read.
