then supplied moisture to these localities. A fine replica 
of the skeleton of the Diprotodon stands in a Floor-case in 
the centre of the Australasian Gallery, and other remains 
and casts from Queensland, Geelong, Colac, Mount Macedon, 
and Footscray are to be seen in the Wall-case of this 
Gallery.

Australia, by Dr. E. C. Stirling. 
The Nototherium (^“southern beast ”) was somewhat like 
the Diprotodon, but smaller and with a shorter and broader 
skull. Some authorities suppose this extinct animal to have 
carried a fleshy horn or proboscis. Its remains are found 
in Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia. 
It is here represented by a cast of the cranium (see Wall-case), 
and by jaws and teeth (Table-case 4). 
Wynyardia is another peculiar and extinct marsupial, 
having characters apparently connecting the Kangaroos 
with the Native Cats. Casts of the head, limb-bones, and 
vertebrae are seen in the Wall-case. It was living in Tasmania 
in about Upper Miocene times.
