Abstract

H. H. Scott, Curator of Launceston Museum and Clive E Lord, F.L.S., Director of the Tasmanian Museum, Hobart.
In the years 1870 to 1884 Professor 0. C. Marsh created
a new Order for the reception of certain fossil mammalian
remains, which he designated (Marsh, 1884) Dinocerata. This
Order included the extinct creatures now called Titanotherium robustum and Tinoceras ingens, as well as others that need
not here detain us. The sifting processes of modern taxonoxny
have necessitated the removal of the two creatures named,
and their separation into distinct Sub-orders (of the Order
Ungulata). Sub-order Titanotheriidae, of which Titanotherium robustum
is typical, and Sub-order Amblypoda, which not only
contains Tinoceras ingens, but also the European extinct
ungulates known as Coryphodon and their American allies.
