[48] See Dr. Bennett’s excellent notes on the living _Didunculus_, in

the ‘Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London,’ 1864, p. 139.

[49] To my friend Dr. Bennett I owe the first specimens of the

_Nautilus pompilius_, impregnated uterus of the Kangaroo and

Ornithorhynchus, the young Ornithorhynchus, and other rare subjects

of early Memoirs. Natural History owes much to this accomplished and

indefatigable Observer.

[50] The scapular arch is rotated in advance of the ribs to show the

character of the anterior dorsal vertebræ.

[51] See also Gould, ‘Birds of Australia,’ part 22 (March, 1846).

[52] I beg to return my acknowledgments to the Trustees of the

Liverpool Museum for the opportunity of figuring two specimens, in this

Plate, from the collection of Dodos’ bones in that Museum.
