the hindermost of these teeth is in the middle. The foremost 
molar tooth, or premolnr, is distinctly smaller in proportion, 
being 2? r lines in length, whilst, in if. Bennettii . it varies 
from to 3-j lines: in this respect if. Parryi shows a 
nearer approximation to the typical Kangaroos, where this 
tooth is very small: on the other hand, we Hud the same 
tooth in if. Ualabatus still larger than in if. Bcnncttii; 
and it is most developed (combined with the normal Macropus 
structure of true molars) in the M. Brunii and the extinct 
if. At fas.
