A note on "Palorchestes," as a Tasmanian Pleistocene genus

Through the kindness of my friend, Mr. K. M. Harrisson, of Smithton, I received on September 18th, 1915, a small packet of pleistocene fossils from the Mowbray Swamp. These included some Nototherian teeth, previously obtained, and a kangaroo's upper jaw, recently discovered by Mr. T. Edwards. As this latter adds a new genus to Tasmanian Palaeontology, I herewith record the fact of its occurrence. The specimen is generically typical of Prof. Owen's genus "Palorchestes," a gigantic kangaroo, computed to have had a skull over sixteen inches long, or exactly double the size of the existing "Forester."
