EuFOFs Hare-Wallabt. 



Size and form much as in L. leporoides. Ehinarium nearly 

 wholly hairy. Underfur long and distinctly bioolor as in L. lepo- 

 roides, but the tips paler, and in some parts much more rufescent. 

 General colour finely grizzled grey. Band round eye scarcely more 

 rufous than rest of head. Ears comparatively long, as in L. lepo- 

 roides, their backs grizzled grey, their insides and edges white. 

 Head and fore part of back grizzled black and white, the longer 

 hairs with a white subterminal and a black terminal band. On the 

 posterior part of the back the hairs are very much longer, and their 

 subterminal pale band gradually becoines broader and more rufous, 

 until on the rump the band is rich rufous, and often nearly an inch 

 in extent. Sides with scarcely a trace of lateral bands. Arms and 

 hands, front of legs, and feet pale yellowish white or grey. Out- 

 sides and backs of legs more or less rufous, sometimes rich red, as 

 in Macropus wilcoxi. Tail short-haired, dull grizzled grey.
