 mine River, west of Moreton Bay, Australia.

All the preceding portions of ribs present the same colour and minera- 

 lized condition as the portions of jaw of the Diprotodon aus trails, Nos. 

 1460 and 1461. 



14/1. A fragment of the left scapula, with four inches of the anterior part of 

 the base of the spine, of a large mammalian animal. The thickness of the 

 neck of the scapula is two inches nine lines, that of the base of the spine 

 is one inch. The indication of the sudden rising of this thick spine from 

 the plane of the scapula distinguishes it from that bone in the Rhino- 

 ceros, and its thickness is greater than in the largest Hippopotamus ; it is 

 also relatively greater in comparison with the neck of the scapula than 

 in the Elephant. The fossil presents the same mineralized, crushed and 

 fractured condition, and the same colour and texture of bone as the por- 

 tions of the jaw of the Diprotodon australls, Nos. 1460 and 1461.

 mine River, west of Moreton Bay, Australia.

1472. A portion of the glenoid cavity and neck of a scapula of a large mam- 

 malian animal. The breadth of the articular surface for the humerus is 

 between three and four inches ; the length appears to have been about six 

 inches. The fragment is massive, and in the same mineralized, crushed 

 and cracked condition as the portions of the jaw of the Diprotodon 

 australls, Nos. 1460 and 1461.

14/3. A fragment of apparently the same scapula, from the same stratum and 

 locality. Presented by Lieut.- Col. Sir T. L. Mitchell, C.B. 



1474. Two fragments, one apparently of the tuberosity of a humerus, of a large 

 mammalian animal.
