Abstract
THIS remarkable rat, which is distinguished from all other Australasian Muridæ by its ponderous molars and some curious features of their crown pattern, was described by Oldfield Thomas so long ago as 1882, but with one doubtful exception has never been recorded since, except from fossil remains, and its status in the Australian fauna has remained quite obscure.
