The second species of Kangaroo to which Mr. Gould drew the 

 attention of the members, is nearly allied to the Macropus penicilla- 

 tus of Mr. Gray, but differs in being of a smaller size, paler colour, 

 in having no black mark on the sides of the body, and the tail less 

 bushy ; the ears, moreover, are smaller in proportion, and more 

 pointed. The general colour is gray-brown ; the under parts of the 

 body are dirty white, obscurely tinted with yellowish : on each side 

 of the body, near the base of the fore leg, is a dusky patch ; a dirty 

 white mark is observable on each side of the head, and there is an 

 indistinct mark on the base of the thigh. The tail is moderately 

 bushy, coloured at the base like the body, but the apical third is 

 dusky black. 



Mr. Gould gave to this species the name 



Macropus (Petrogale) brachyotis. Macr. vellere e fusco ci- 

 nereo, apud partes inferiores albescente ; caudd floccosd ad api- 

 cem nigrd ; utrdque gend lined albescente notatd.
