This paper describes in brief the findings of a research project undertaken by the Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF) at the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia. The research was commissioned by and undertaken on behalf of the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW). The aim of the project was to investigate current practices of environmental and sustainability education and engagement within local government in NSW. The research was commissioned by DECCW as the preliminary phase of a larger project that the department is planning to undertake, commencing in 2010.

The only known Mammals of Australia with rootless, ever-growing scalpriform incisors, in bodily size suitable for wielding those about to be described, are the Diprotodon , the Notherium , and the Phascolonus , all of which have become extinct. But the incisors of the known species of the above genera differ in shape from each other and, in a still more marked degree, from those of Sceparnodon ; nor do any such teeth from other and smaller Mammals match with the present Fossils. My first cognizance of this form of tooth was derived from casts, which were kindly transmitted to me in October, 1881, by Edward P. Ramsay, Esq., Curator of the Museum of Natural History, Sydney, New South Wales.

Scientific Survey

In a scientific survey by the Department of Mines, New South Wales, of Lord Howe’s Island, fossil remains were obtained which were transmitted to the British Museum of Natural History, and were confided to the author for determination and description. These fossils, referable to the extinct family of horned Saurians described in former volumes of the “Philosophical Transactions" under the generic name Megalania , form the subject of the present paper. They represent species smaller in size than Megalania prisca , Ow., and with other differential characters on which an allied genus Meiolania is founded.

Since the communication of the 1st February, 1883, “On the Affinities of Thylacoleo,” I have received, through the favour of the Trustees of the Museum of Natural History, Sydney, and the care of the accomplished keeper, E. P Ramsay, Esq., F. L. S., a second consignment of the palaeontological results of his exploration of the Breccia Caverns of Wellington Valley, New South Wales. Besides additional confirmation of the dental, mandibular, antibrachial, ungual, and other osteal characters of Thylacoleo , these accessory specimens afford further evidence of the carnivorous modifications of parts of the skeleton. Of these a well-marked one is yielded by the pelvis (Plate 46, fig. 1).
