摘要：

A fossil mandible and incisor of the diprotodontid marsupial Palorehestes azeal Owen is reported from a new locality at Pulbeena, near Smithon, in northwestern Tasmania. The fossils occurred with a piece of wood which has a C-14 age of 54,200(-4,500)(+11,000) B.P. Both fossils and wood were deposited contemporaneously in shallow-lake shell marls and swamp peat deposits of late Quaternary age. Pollen analysis indicates that this P. azael inhabited a Eucalyptus woodland. M. R. Banks, Department of Geology, and E. 4. Colhoun and G. van de Geer, Department of Geography, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania 7001, Australia; received 13 January 1976.
