Excerpt from Memoirs of the Geological Survey of New South Wales, Paleontology, No. 6: Descriptions of the Palæozoic Fossils of New South Wales (Australia)Not a Museum of Natural History, not a Zoological Garden, would be worthy of the name if they did not contain at least some specimens of that great series of Marsupials, large and small, and of the birds, noteworthy either by their shape or variety of plumage, that the Australian Region supports, as well as that unique animal whose body is covered by an otter's skin, and whose muzzle is replaced by a bill like a duck's, a fact to which is due the name of Ornithorhynchus by which it is generally known.The living fauna of this country presents this singular character - that it can be compared to no other. Its principal types have no representatives in countries of similar latitudes providing analogous conditions of life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
