Abstract
THE peculiarities of the structure of the marsupials of Australia are so remarkable and their habits are so unlike those of the placentals of the Old World, that probably no apology is needed for venturing to lay before your readers a short account of one of these peculiarities possessed by certain genera, which I believe has escaped the observation of most naturalists, and may prove interesting to some of your subscribers.
