Abstract
ALLOW me to protest against the misnomer “Marsupial Mole” applied to Dr. Stirling's marvellous mammal by Mr. Sclater, both in the Times and in NATURE. “Mole-like Marsupial” it may be, but the other phrase has quite a different meaning, and either shows a want of appreciation of important characters, or implies a theory which, however plausible, has not been proved.
