Zoology. — A specimen of Notovyctes typhlops, the Marsupial

was presented by Mr. S. J. Pryon ; this is the second obtained in 
this State, the first being found at Joanna Springs, about midway 
between Wollal and the South Australian border. Skins of a 
kangaroo collected by Mr. J. P. Rogers in the McClintock Range, 
South-east Kimberley, in 1909, were sent to Mr. Oldfield Thomas, 
who in the “ Annals and Magazine of Natural History,” June, 
1911, described them as a new sub-species of Wallaroo under the 
name of Macvopus robustus bracteator. The fur is longer and darker 
than that of M . r. woodwardi from Grant Range, West Kimberley. 
Mr. Rogers at the same time obtained an example of Phascogale 
penicillata pirata, not hitherto known to occur in this State.
