 Notoryctes. By Charles S. Tomes, M.A., F.R.S. 



[Received February 11, 1897-] 



So far as I know no description of the minute structure of 

 the teeth of this remarkable marsupial has been published. 

 Dr. Stirling has been so kind as to send me a fragment of a jaw 

 containing three teeth. From these I have been able to make two
