On the Anatomy of Petrogale xanthopus, compared with that of other Kangaroos. By P. G. PARSONS, F.R.C.S., F.Z.S., F.L.S., Lecturer on Comparative Anatomy at St. Thomas's Hospital. [Received June 5, 1890.] The specimen from which the following notes were made was kindly placed at my disposal by Mr. F. E. Beddard, the Society's Prosector. I have been struck by the fact that of late years the Macropodidse have not received nearly so much attention as the other members of the Marsupial order, and for this reason I have thought it worth while making a fairly exhaustive dissection of Petrogale, laying special stress on the vascular, nervous, muscular, and ligamentous systems, and comparing them with the accounts of other writers to which I have had access. The other systems, which are already well known, I have passed over more rapidly, though I am fully alive to the importance of basing our knowledge of the anatomy of any animal on several dissections by different observers. 44* |
