Hab. Interior of New South Wales. 



The third species is about the same size as the last. The most 

 remarkable character in this animal consists in its having a nail at 

 the tip of the tail : this nail is hidden by the tuft of hair with which 

 the end of the tail is furnished, and greatly resembles a finger-nail, 

 both in texture and form, but is of a black colour. The name pro- 

 posed for this species was 



Macropus unguifer. Meter, corpore gracili, caudd perlongd ; 

 vcllere perbrevi, el viedioe liter molli : colore fulvo, parte corporis 

 anteriore, et collo albescenlibus ; capitefere toto, nee non artubus

Hah. West coast of Australia. 



The fifth species resembles the Common Hare in size, and in the 

 texture of the fur ; so much so, indeed, that a portion of its skin 

 could not be distinguished from that of a Hare. The fore-legs and 

 feet of this animal being very small, Mr. Gould proposed to describe 

 it as 



Macropus Leporides. Macr. pro magniludinc et veUeris colore
