(Fig.) Figured by Owen in the ' Phil. Trails.' 1870, pi. xlvii., 

 and also in the ' Extinct Mammals of Australia/ pi. xxxii., 

 The pelvis is intermediate between that of Phascolomys 

 and Phalangista, the lateral anterior deflection of the ilia 

 being even greater than in the former ; it is totally unlike 

 the pelvis of Macropus. The specimen belongs to a small 

 individual. Presented hy Sir D. Cooper^ Bart., 1864. 



40373. Portion of the pelvis and sacrum of a somewhat larger 

 individual ; from St. Euth's Station, Condamine River.

 an individual of the same size as the last specimen ; from 

 Australia. Presented hy Br. George Bennett, 1874, 



M. 11. Part of a left innominate agreeing precisely in structure 

 with the preceding, but of much • smaller size ; from 

 Queensland. Presented hy Sir G. Verdon, 1877. 



32864. The right femur ; from Darling Downs. Pigured by Owen 

 {Fig.) in the ' Phil. Trans.' 1870, pis. xlviii. and xlix., and also 

 in the ' Extinct Mammals of Australia,', pi. xxxiii. and 

 pi., xxxiv. fig. 1. This bone comes nearest to the femur of 

 Phascolomys and Phalangista, but differs in the excessive 

 prominence of the inner border of the trochlea for the 

 patella, and in the head being the highest point of the 

 whole bone. The femur of Macropus differs widely in the 

 form of the distal extremity, as well as in the less perfectly 

 globular head. Purchased.
