Discusses the reference of a humerus by Owen to Nototherium, and con- 
cludes that this is incorrect. The cranium described by Macleay as 
Zygomaturus , and identified by Owen with Nototherium , is regarded as 
distinct, and it is suggested that the humerus in question may be 
referable to that form. Figures are given of the premolars of Noto- 
therium , and of an allied form termed Owenia ; while a larger premolar 
of the upper jaw is figured and referred to Zygomaturus.

pp. 38-44. 
Considers that the upper premolars figured by Huxley, and referred by 
Owen to Nototherium , certainly belong to Diprotodon , and indicate a dis- 
tinct form which is not the female of D. australis.
