The striking superficial resemblance that this species bears to 

 Macropus hrunii, and the confusion in nomenclature caused therebv, 

 have been already referred to (supra, p. 51). The two animals do 

 not, so far as is yet known, occur absolutely in the same localities, 

 but their ranges approximate so nearly that the confusion of 

 Dr. Bruyn's " Filander " with the present rather commoner and 

 better known animal is not at all to be wondered at. The dis- 

 tinctions between the two have already been fully pointed out. 

 D. miilleri, unlike D. luctuosa, seems to be a very uniform and 

 unvarying species, as all the specimens that I have seen are almost 

 precisely aKke.
