ORDE;R xi. 



THE MARSUPIALIA OR POUCHED ANIMALS. 



FOR this order we refer entirely to the detailed de- 

 scriptions given in the Eleventh Volume of this 

 work, wishing to add only one species, which ap- 

 pears to have escaped the author, Mr. Waterhouse, 

 and we have not yet found, in the splendid work 

 on this order, now publishing by Mr, Gould. It is 



PLATE XXIX 



HcUmaturus Rutilans, LIGHT., 



OF which species we found specimens both of male 

 and female in the Museum of Berlin. They are 

 beautiful animals, about three feet high from the 

 head to the ground, in a seated erect posture ; the 

 back and upper parts entirely bright reddish ; the 

 inferior white, and the feet and tip of tail black.
