 On examining her pouch the little embryo was found lying loose — 

 the mother had apparently been putting it on to the teat with her 

 lips when shot. The teat was much contracted at the end, which 

 would enable the parent to fix the young one on to it. The 

 Kangaroo was sitting on her tail, that member being stretched out 

 in front of her — a favourite position of the Kaugaroo family. She 

 was probably in the same position when the young one was born,
