The genealogical trec becomes a little confused in the early mammal period, according to Dr. Gregory, because some believe that our aft centor of this period was a close relative of the egg-laying duck-bill- ed platypus, while others believe that his closest kindred was the primitive marsupials, or pouched saimals, of which the kangaroo is the most conspicuous specimen to- day. --
