The feet of the Nototheria have hitherto remained undescribed from associated specimens. alhough many bones in museum collections have been relegated to the genus. The calcaneum, and astragalus, of Nototherium tasmanicum were recovered with the rest of the skeleton in 1910, and the astragalus of Nototherium victoria, came to light with other associated remains from King Island in 1912.
