10 a.m., 2nd Nov. The young one firmly adhering 
to teat was not removed; at 12 (noon) feels quite cold, 
but breathes, and moves with great vigour ; has not hold 
of the teat; when handled, utters a faint cry. 
After I had made some preparations of the stomach 
and intestines of the mother, I found the young one still 
living, and made a deep incision, dividing the large ves¬ 
sels of the neck : this not killing it, I pithed it between 
the occiput and atlas, but as it still moved I detached the 
head : the body still by free motions, on the application 
of irritants, showed sensibility. After about half an hour 
had elapsed, I opened the young one, and found the 
urinary bladder filled, and reaching to near the epigas¬ 
trium ; the stomach, uterus, &c., heart and lungs, well de¬ 
veloped. The creature still moved slightly. Otheryoung 
marsupial animals that I have examined appear remark¬ 
ably tenacious of life, living immersed in spirits more 
than one day.
