Scientific paper

IN the Davis lecture (NATURE, vol. xx. p. 509), Prof. St. George Mivart remarks that kangaroos use their tails ``to a certain extent in their long jumps.'' This may either mean that the tail is used as a balance to the fore-part of the body-as, of course, is the case-or as a means of propulsion. The latter is the natural inference to be drawn from the sentence.
