The author, after referring to the notice of the finding of a molar tooth of a mastodon, in Australia, by Count Strzelecki, in his “Physical Description of New South Wales,” p. 312, proceeds to the details of the first evidence of a proboscidian mammal which has reached him from that continent since the date (1845) of the Count’s work. This evidence consists of portions of a tusk indicative of an elephantine animal, somewhat less than the existing ones of Asia and Africa. The evidences of the ivory nature of the tusk are given in detail, including the minute characters of that variety of dentine. Figures of the fossil and of the microscopical sections accompany the paper.
