H. C. Chapman describes and figures the foetal appendages, wdth 
notes on the structure of the foetus, of Macropus giganteus ; P. Ac. 
Philad. 1881, pp. 4G8-471, pi. xx. His observations quite confirm those 
already made by Owen — practically the only ones ever previously 
made as to these structures in any implacental Mammal. There is no 
true placenta at all developed, the chorion lying freely in, and unat- 
tached to, the uterine walls. The allantois is small and bud-like, and 
does not reach the chorion ; the umbilical vesicle, on the other hand, is 
very large, vascular, though not villous, and closely applied to the chorion 
over a considerable area of its surface.
