PHASCOLOMYS LASIORHINUS, Gould. 
Hairy-nosed Wombat. 
Head, of the size of life. 
This full-sized representation of the head of this new and highly interesting species of 
Wombat has been executed partly from a fine drawing sent to me by Professor M/Coy, 
of Melbourne, and partly from an example now in the Gardens of the Zoological Society. 
This living animal exhibits a fleshy muzzle, partially covered with fine white hairs, through 
which the pink flesh-tint shows very conspicuously. Mr. Bartlett, the superintendent, in- 
forms me that, after carefully comparing Professor M'Coy’s drawing with the Society’s 
animal, he has no doubt of its having been made from an example identical in species. 
For further particulars respecting the Phctscolomys lasiorhinus, the reader is referred to 
the interesting notes by Mr. Angas and Professor M‘Coy, which will be found in the next 
page.
