_ Although allied in external characters to the Red-necked 
| Wallaby, it would seem from the structure of the skull and the 
form and feebleness of the upper incisor teeth that this species 
is really more nearly related to the small Wallabies, of which it 
| may be an overgrown member which has assumed the external 
characters of the larger species
