  Australian 
  fossils 
  no 
  recognizable 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  skeleton 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  

   limbs 
  of 
  Nototherium 
  had 
  reached 
  me. 
  

  

  The 
  characters 
  of 
  the 
  present 
  specimen, 
  like 
  the 
  proportions 
  of 
  

   the 
  skull 
  of 
  Nototherium 
  *, 
  show 
  a 
  resemblance 
  to 
  the 
  Wombats 
  

   which 
  at 
  least 
  tends 
  to 
  lessen 
  the 
  difference 
  between 
  the 
  existing 
  

   forms 
  of 
  Phascolomys 
  and 
  Macropvs.
