32 MACEOPODID^. 



Hal. Few South Wales and Victoria. 



Type in the Paris Museum. 



Specimen d is remarkable for having its head pale grey, and in 

 parts quite white, and for having numerous white hairs mixed in 

 with the ordinary fur of the body, both being, no doubt, due to 

 extreme old age.

Size and colours like those of the typical variety, but the fur 

 shorter and coarser, the underfur thinner, and the markings, espe- 

 cially those on the face, more sharply defined. The brown niark 

 on the side of the face is continued through the eye to just in front 

 of the ear, and is sharply separated below from the white whisker- 

 mark. The rufous on the lower back is of a richer brighter tinge, 

 and the tail is tipped with white, though this character is probably 

 variable. 



Shull and teeth precisely as in the typical form.
