Phascolomys medius, Owen \ 



This species is intermediate in size between the preceding and 

 following ones, with which it agrees in the structure of the molars 

 and palate ; the concavity of the latter being rather less than in 

 P. magnus, but greater than in P. latifrons. The length of the 

 space occupied by the first three upper cheek-teeth is 0,038, against 

 0,0255 in P. latifrons and 0,055 in P. magnus ; and that of the 

 upper diastema 0,063 against 0,044 in the existing species. The 

 inferior border of the mandible is strongly convex, the section of 

 pm. 4 quadrangular, and the masseteric fossa of the mandible 

 shallow.

 mens include the types.
