MAMMALIA. 
Note. 
Phorusrhachos , Ameghino, 1887 (Zool. Rec. xxiv, Mamm. p. 52), is 
found by its describer, Rev. Arg. Hist. Nat. i, p. 255, to be Avian ; the 
name is amended to Phororhachos.

Leche, W. Zur Morphologie der Beutelknochen. Biol. Foren. iii, 
pp. 120-126, fig. 
After showing that the Marsupial bones have a cartilaginous connection 
with the pubis, the author concludes that they represent the epipubis of 
lower vertebrates.

De Yis, C. W. Remarks on Post-Tertiary Phascolomyidce. P. Linn. 
Soc. N.S.W. (4) vi, pp. 235-246. 
The author denies the ideutity of Sceparnodon with Phascolonus , but 
regards the latter as a valid genus. Of the species of Phascolomys , P. 
thornsoni is regarded as invalid, the identity of P. platyrhinus with P. 
mitchelli is disputed, and a new species is pamed. 
. The Incisors of Sceparnodon. T. c. pp. 258-262, pi. xxii. 
The author considers that some of the teeth figured as upper incisors 
of this form really belong to the lower jaw, and consequently that tho 
genus is distinct from Phascolonus. A presumed youug lower incisor, 
and an adult uppor incisor are figured.

Concludes that the upper incisors on which the first-named genus was 
established, are referable to the Wombat described as Phascolonus.

Describes and figures a mandibular ramus which is regarded as proving 
the distinctness of Euowenia ( Owenia ) from Nototherium. Although the 
specimen figured receives a new specific name, it is suggested that it may 
prove identical with Nototherium victoria 3, Owen. It is considered that 
Euowenia , Notothcrium f Eiprotodon , and Zygomaturus are all members of 
a single family.
