Abstract
The true homologies of the different teeth in the Marsupialia, and especially in the Dasyuridæ , have long been in a state of confusion, largely owing to their perplexing superficial resemblances to the teeth of the Carnivora and other Placentals, and to the incorrect homologies thereon founded. This confusion has been chiefly in regard to the premolars, of which some members of the family have two, others three, while generalised Placentals have four, and it is therefore necessary to prove which teeth have been successively lost in order to find out the correct homologies of the remainder.
