MARSUPIALIA. 
R. Owen, in part x. of his memoirs “ On the Fossil Mammals of 
Australia ” [c/*. Zool. Rec. xi. p. 20], describes Macropus sp. n. 
and gives further characters of the species of Palorchestes, Macropus^ 
Sthenurus, Phascolagus, and Procoptodon, the latter genus being re- 
garded as a connecting link between the saltigrade and gravigrade 
groups of phytophagous Marsupialp. Abstract, P. R. Soc. xxiii. 
p. 451. 
G. Krefft publishes remarks on Owen’s arrangement of fossil
