Black Teee-Kangaeoo. 



General form thick and clumsy.- Ehinarium (PL XI. fig. 8) 

 tuberculated only to the level of the superior internal angle of the 

 nostrils, but the whole top of the muzzle so thinly haired as to be 

 practically naked. An abrupt change of colour on the muzzle at 

 the junction between the thinly-haired and the granulated por- 

 tion, the former black, the latter nearly white, as shown in the 

 figure, drawn from a spirit-specimen. Lower lip with two distinct 

 diverging grooves running backwards under the chin. Fur of 

 body, limbs, and tail long, straight, and coarse ; this longer hair 

 entirely absent on the face, which is only covered by a continuation 

 of the body underfur. Underfar short, wooUy, pale brown. Fur of 

 back of neck, from withers to crown, directed forwards. General 

 colour uniform black. Face pale whitish brown or grey, rather 

 darker round eyes and paler on lower cheeks. Forwardly directed 

 nape-hair forming a transverse crest level with the anterior edge of 

 the ears. Ears short, rounded, thickly covered outside and on the 

 margins inside with soft woolly black hairs. Back, arms, and 

 hands, legs and feet, and tail uniformly black, the extreme tip of 

 the latter sometimes yeUow. Chest and belly white or pale brown. 



SJcull broad and strong ; muzzle stout and heavy. Nasals short 

 and broad, slightly expanded behind, their posterior edge slightly 

 curved backwards in the centre. Interorbital space broad and 

 , slightly concave, its edges weU defined, without or only with very 

 faint indications of inflation. Naso-premaxillary about half of 

 naso-maxillary suture. 



Teeth strong and stout. Canine very small. P.' large, broad, and 

 heavy, strongly ridged and grooved externally; internal ledge broad 

 and flat, not notched at its centre; postero-intornal talon well- 

 defined, and increasing markedly the posterior as compared to the 

 anterior breadth of the tooth.
