Spectacled Haee-Wallabt. 



Size comparatively large, and form thick and heavy. Rhinarium 

 less hairy than in the other species, the lower half of the nasal 

 septum and the edges of the nostrils naked. Fur long and coarse, 

 no longer piles projecting above the general level; underfur long, 

 soft, and thick, uniform dark brown, or nearly black above, grey 

 tipped with rufous on the sides, and uniform slaty grey below. 

 General colour coarsely grizzled yellowish grey. Head grizzled 

 white and black ; a well-marked chestnut-coloured patch round 

 each eye, very variable in its intensity, not passing forwards on to 

 the sides of the muzzle. Ears very short, their length going from 

 3J to 4 times into that of the tarsus, their backs pale grizzled grey, 

 their edges and insides nearly white. Hairs of the back black for 

 their basal half and at their tips, with a broad pale yellow band 

 just below the latter j the general colour not unlike that of a common 

 hare, but varying very much in its richness and intensity. Two 

 whitish lateral bands present, one just in front of, and the other on 

 the hip ; the latter running on to the rump, which is a clear pale 

 grizzled grey, all the yellow disappearing from the longer hairs some 

 three inches from the root of the tail, and being replaced by white.
