Oryeterope, of small vertical tubes. Then- fore-feet have amembrane which not only connects the toes, but extends beyond the claws: in the binder, the mem-brane reaches only to the base of the claws; two characters which, in addition to their flattened tail,indicate aquatic habits. Their tongue is to a certain extent double; one in the hill besetwith villosities; and another at the base ofthe first, thicker, and furnished anteriorlywith two Uttle fleshy points. The stomachis small, oblong, and has its outlet nearthe enirance; coecum small; and there arenumerous saUent and parallel laminae in thecourse of the intestines. The penis has onlytwo tubercles. These animals inhabit therivers and marshes of New Holland, andparticularly the neighbourhood of Port Jackson. Fig. .a.-The Ornirl.orynchu>. Two species only are known, one with smooth and thin reddish fur {0. paradoxus, R\im.) ^ the other withblackish-brown fur, flat, and somewhat frizzled. These are perhaps only varieties of age.
