TASMANIAX \<0\s\,—Pamcyon Cpiocephahs. 



The Tasmanian Wolf, altliough not peihaps the fiercest of the pouclied animals, 

 is tlie largest and the most poAv:rfiL, "vvell dcscnnii; the title with ■which it has 

 been by common consent designated, and representing in Tasmania the true 

 wolves of other countries. It is not a very large animal, as needs nuist be from 

 the nature of the comitry in Mhieh it lives, for there Mould be Init small subsis- 

 tence in its native land for herds of veritable wolves, and the natural consequence 

 would be that the famished animals would soon take to eating each other in 

 default of more lemtimate food, and ?o thin down the race or destroy it altoirethcr.
