NEW SPECIES OF KANGAROOS. 
We learn from the Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 
No. 49, p. 147, that on the 8th December, 1840, Mr. Gould 
exhibited before the Zoological Society a new species of Hyp - 
sipryrnnus, from Swan River, which he characterized under the 
name of 
i 
Hypsiphymnus Graii. Hyps, fusco-cinereus; cor pore sub- 
tus albescente; caudd mediocri, fusca, flavo lavatd , ad 
apicem albd; pedibus pallidb fuscis; auribus mediocribus 
rotundatis.

This species most nearly resembles the Hypsiprymnus rufes- 
cens of Mr. Gray, but differs in being of an ashy brown colour 
above, and in having the hairs which clothe the back of the ears 
of the same general colour as those of the head, instead of 
black, as in the species just mentioned. The fur is long, and 
soft to the touch; the hairs both on the upper and under 3 parts 
of the body are of a palish grey colour at the base; those on 
the under parts are dirty white externally, and those on the back 
are dirty white (inclining to ash-colour) near the apex , and 
tipped with brownish black : on the sides of the head and 
body a very faint yellowish hue is observable. The ears are 
sparingly clothed within with small yellowish hairs ; externally 
they are clothed with fur, like that on the head. The feet are 
of a very pale brown colour. The tail is brown, tinted with 
yellowish, excepting the apical third, which is covered with 
longish white hairs. 
On the 9th February, 1841, Mr. Gould exhibited to the 
Meeting fine specimens, male and female, of the Macropus 
laniger of Quoy and Gaimard, and a species of Hypsiprymnvs 
nearly allied to the U. minor , but which differs considerably 
in the form of the skull, and especially in having the muzzle 
broader, the sides being swollen; it also differs from H. minor 
in having the tail and tarsi proportionally shorter. This specie 3 
being new, Mr. Gould characterized it as follows, under the 
name
