NOTE ON MACROPUS BERNARDUS (DENDRO- 
DORCOPSIS WOODWARD!). 
By the HON. WALTER ROTHSCHILD, ALT., Ph. D., &c. 
When I published (antea, p. 414) a preliminary description of the 
above very distinct Kangaroo, I stated that the cranial characters 
were identical with Macropus. Mr. Oldfield Thomas, when writing a 
paper on the collection made by Mr. Tunney on the Alligator River, 
has pointed out to me that my new genus cannot stand, as even the 
external characters are more Macropine than I at first thought. I 
therefore, as there is already a Macropus woodward /, propose for this 
new species the name of Macropus bernardus , instead of Dendrodor- 
copsis woodwardi. 
The skull is very like that of M. robustus ; it is, however, more 
lightly built. 
It is, however, none the less a most striking and remarkable dis- 
covery, the finest that has been made in Australia for many years, and 
the organisers of Mr. Tunney’s expedition are to be congratulated on 
so valuable a result
