Fur somewhnt short anti soft, anil of a bright fulvous, or sandy 
red colour ; throat, under parts of the body, and limbs, 
whitish, somewhat tinted with pale yellow in parts; fore feet 
and toes brown, the sides of the latter yellowish: tail of a 
somewhat paler hue than the body. 
Inhabits Western Australia. 
This species is founded by Mr. Gould upon a flat and im¬ 
perfect skin, procured at Barrow Island, on the west coast of 
Australia (latitude about 21°), by Capt. Stokes, of H. M. S. 
Beagle, and which is now deposited in the British Museum. 
The characters of the animal, so fur as they can be ascertained 
from such imperfect materials, are thus given in the Proceed¬ 
ings quoted:—The general colour of the skin is bright 
fulvous, or sand-red; the fur is rather short, and soft to the 
touch; the hairs are uniform in tint to the base: the throat 
and under parts of the body are white, faintly tinted with 
yellowish in pints. The fur on the belly is long, and very 
soft: the white or whitish colouring of the under parts, and 
the uniform fulvous colouring of the upper parts and sides 
of the body, do not blend gradually: the colour of the tail 
is nearly the same as that of the body, but is rather paler, 
and is nearly uniform. The fore-feet and toes above, are 
covered witli brown hairs, but on the sides of the toes the 
hair is yellowish. The size of the animal is probably about 
equal to that of HaImaturns Bennettii.
