Sub - genus, Snrcoph iIns. 
Snrcophiht **. F. CuviKK, Marnmifores, 70me lirr. 1838. 
Dialolu*. Gray, in Appendix to Grey’s Journals of Two Expedition* 
in North-West, and Western Australia. 1811. 
Djtsyuri with the body stout; the head fdiort, and very broad; 
the tail shorter than the body ; premolar teeth with the 
antero-posterior and transverse diameters equal, or nearly so. 
Unfortunately I am not aware what are the points which 
induced M. F. Cuvier 1 2 , or Mr. Gray, to separate the Datyuru* 
1 From flesh; and tp! Aor, loving. 
2 The great work of MM. F. Cuvier and Geoffrey, in which the section 
Sarcophilus is proposrd, although in our National Library, is not complete, 
and is deficient of the part containing the account of the /iatyurvM urriHUi. 
The section Diabohtt of Mr. Gray I do not find anywhere characterised.
