Abstract

New material of dasyurids, peramelids, phalangerids, pseudocheirids, burramyids, ektopodontids, and vombatids from the early Pliocene Hamilton fauna of Victoria, Australia, includes a new perameloid species and the first record of vombatids in the Hamilton fauna. The earlier interpretation of the assemblage as representing a rain forest fauna is confirmed.
