APPENDIX. 
Of the KANGAROO. 
This animal (probably from its fize) was the principal one 
taken notice of in this ifland ; the only parts at firft 
brought home were fome ikins and fculls ; and I was favour- 
ed with one of the fculls from Sir Jofeph Banks. As the 
teeth of fuch animals as are already known, in fome degree 
point out their digeftive organs, I was in hopes that 
I might have been able to form an opinion of the 
particular tribe of the animals already known, to which 
the Kangaroo (hould belong ; but the teeth did not accord 
with thofe of any one clafs of animals I was acquainted 
with, therefore I was obliged to wait with patience till I 
could get the whole : and in many of its other organs 
the deviation from other animals is not lefs than in its teeth. 
In its mode of propagation it very probably comes nearer to 
the OpolTum than any other animal ; although it is not at 
all fimilar to it in other refpeds. Its hair is of a greyifli 
brown colour, fimilar to that of the wild rabbit of Great 
Britain, is thick and long when the animal is old ; but it is 
latf.
