IX. MARSUPIALIA. 
Wilson & Hill, Quart. J. Micr. Soc. (2) xxxix, p. 427, from the study 
of Perameles , conclude that the so-called prelacteal dentition is really 
the milk series, and consequently that the anterior permanent series 
corresponds to that of other Mammals. They further suggest that 
Marsupials were originally placental, and that the pouch is a second- 
ary feature. Hence the group is in no way ancestral to the Eutheria.
