MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
tail of this giant lizard was relatively short in comparison with the “ goannas ” of 
to-day, including the largest living monitors found at Komodo, it probably attained 
over twenty feet in length. The vertebras of Megalania and Varanus have been 
described in great detail by the late Baron G. J. de Fejervary (Annales Musei Nationalis 
Hungarici, XXIX. 1935). 
Diprotodon australis. — A fragment of a lower jaw of this large marsupial was 
picked up in the bed of Fletcher’s Creek, about four miles from the Logan Downs 
Station, near Clermont, and presented by Mr. H. W. Eite, through Mr. H. R. Deane, 
Land Commissioner. (F. 2339). A fragment of a Nototherium mandible, also found 
near Logan Downs, was recorded in 1929. 
Diprotodon australis. — Incomplete worn molar teeth found on the left bank of 
the Sellheim River, south-west of Bowen, have been presented by Mr. F. M. Hutton. 
(F. 2250.) These were found one mile from the junction with Percy Douglas Creek. 
Diprotodon australis. — A fragment of a femur, found near embankment of a 
dam on a watercourse at Cooromon, Boyneside, via Kingaroy, was presented in 
May, 1933, by Mr. A. Slater. (F. 2319.) 
Diprotodon australis. — A molar found at mud springs, near Eulo, in the Cunna- 
mulla district, was sent in by Mr. G. C. Clark. (F. 2131.) 
Diprotodon australis. — We are indebted to Dr. F. W. Whitehouse, Hon. 
Palaeontologist, for a massive maxillary fragment, with remains of molars, found in 
the Diamantina River at Birdsville. (F. 2419.) 
Diprotodon australis. — Mr. Thomas Jack, Dalby, presented a specimen consist- 
ing of remains of a palate of a very old Diprotodon ; only the second molars on each 
side are in position and these are worn almost to the roots. This was found at Ranges 
Bridge, Condamine River, some fifteen miles west of Dalby. (F. 2346.) 
Plesiosaurus spp. — Many vertebrae and fragments attributed to this genus, 
used in the broad sense, have been received from Western Queensland and they are 
the vertebrate fossils most frequently collected. Unfortunately, the material has not 
been sufficiently significant to enable a local worker to make adequate comparisons 
v ith other species or even genera. Two species, Plesiosaurus macrospondylus and 
P . sutherlandi , were very concisely described by McCoy in 1867, but little has been 
published since, apart from the records by Jack and Etheridge in the “ Geology 
and Palaeontology of Queensland, 1892, pp. 508-10. Hundredweights of vertebrae, 
some in associated series, have been received during the last twenty years at the 
Queensland Museum, in addition to remains in the old collection. 
A series of 24 associated vertebrae collected in the Flinders River, near Rich- 
mond, was presented through Mr. G. E. Blake. (F. 2085.) Another series of 
vertebrae with other fragments, mostly embedded in matrix, found at “ Caithness,” 
Dartmouth, was collected and presented by Mr. A. B. Cribb. (F. 2100.) About ten
