. An introduction to the study of mammals living and extinct. Mammals. "' /. Fig. 65.âSkull and Teeth of the Red-necked Wallaby (Macropus ruficolUs). i', ;â -, P, First, second, and tliird upper incisors ; pm, fourth or posterior premolar (the penultimate or third having been already shed); ml, mS, »«3, mi, the four true molars. The last, not fully de- veloped, is nearly concealed by the ascending ramus of the jaw. JSpyprymnus.^âHead short and broad. Auditory bullas not inflated. No palatine foramina. Tarsus long. Muffle partially hairy. Tail evenly hairy, not crested above. Molars oblong, less distinctly quadritubercular, and not decreasing so much in size pos- teriorly as in the other genera. Eepresented only by ^-B. riifcscens. Remains of yE. rnfescens occur in the Pleistocene cave-deposits of New South Wales. Subfamily MacFopodinse.âThis subfamily includes the largest forms. The cutting edges of the upper incisors are nearly level, or the first pair but slightly longer than the others (Fig. 55). The canines are rudimentary and often wanting. The premolars are usually not longer (from before backwards) than the true molars 1 Thomas, Cat. Marsup. Brit. Mits. ji. 114 (1888). = Garrod, Froc. Zool. Soc. 187,5, p.
