parts of two skulls together would be little short of a miracle, since absolutely 
nothing* but the skull, mandible, and part of a femur were found juxtaposed 
in an otherwise barren matrix! When the field notes and those of the 
comparative anatomist are at variance, obviously, the correct attitude is that 
of suspension of judgment, which attitude does not reflect upon Mr. Glauert s 
careful work. The main object of this present note is to accredit King 
Island with “Sthenurus atlas” of Owen (upon the determination of Mr. 
Glauert), and also to intimate to others working in this field of science that 
a characteristic specimen of this little-known animal is available for com 
parison, at a more accessible centre, for Australians, than the British Museum 
type.
