Scientific paper

SOME years ago, under dates June 21 and June 28, 1894, NATURE contained a notice of an extensive deposit, at Lake Callabonna, South Australia, of fossil bones of Diprotodon, Phascolonus, various species of extinct kangaroos, and of a large struthious bird, since named Genyornis newtoni, in honour of the late lamented Prof. Newton, of Cambridge, and in recognition of much personal kindness received from him by the writer. Since that date various and more detailed references to some of the forms represented in this deposit have appeared in the Transactions and Memoirs of the Royal Society of South Australia; and now at last, after a lapse of years, which may have seemed unnecessarily long to those unacquainted with all the circumstances of the case, we have lately completed at this museum a complete cast in plaster of the skeleton of Diprotodon australis. Some of your readers may be interested in the photograph of this cast which I now send you (Fig. 1), as well as in one which gives our idea of the re-construction in the flesh of this marsupial (Fig. 2).
