Abstract

In this paper the author selects from a series of fossils transmitted from Australia since the communication of the 1st February, 1883, the pelvis of a mature Thylacoleo , and gives results of a comparison of it with that of Macropus major , Felis Leo , and Dasyurus ursinus , incidentally referring to pelvic characters of the Wombat, the Koala, ;and the Phalangers. The results are that the few correspondences with the Kangaroos relate exclusively to a common marsupial nature; to these, in the Dasyurines, are added other resemblances not found, save in Carnivorous Marsupials; and, finally, prominent characters are shown in which Thylacoleo exclusively repeats those presented by the pelvis of Felis Leo .
