MACROPOD ID/E. 
pencilled with whitish, ftnd the lower one is somewhat suffused 
with brownish: the ears are well clothed internally with rich 
yellow hairs, but they are rather narrowly margined with 
black at the apex; externally, the black extends downwards 
from the point for about half an inch: behind the eye is a 
yellowish spot. The chin and throat are tinted w*ith fulvous, 
and there is a greyish spot on the former; the chest is greyish; 
below' the chest the fur has a pale rusty-grey hue. The fore 
legs are grey-white at the base, and of a very pale fulvous 
colour, or fulvous-white beyond, and the hands are of the 
same colour, but the fingers are black, and the black extends 
very slightly beyond the base of the fingers; the hind legs 
and feet are coloured in the same manner: the thighs art* 
somewhat greyish externally at the base, and the toes are 
black, if we except the long hairs wiiicli cover the nails, these 
being brownish. The tail is densely clothed with longish 
hairs, which on the upper surface arc softer, and not closely 
applied to the skin, as is often the case in the Kangaroos; 
they average at about three-quarters of an inch in length, but 
are about an inch and a half long on the apical portion of 
the tail; here they are dirty yellowish white, which colour 
extends about four inches from the tip; on other parts tinw¬ 
are of a pale greyish tint, suffused with yellow; on the 
under side the hairs are still long, but harsh and ndpressed. 
The foremost incisor tooth of the upper jaw is distinctly the 
broadest; the middle incisor on either side is the smallest, 
and has a faint vertical groove; in the hindermost the 
vertical groove is distinct: the length of the three together 
is Gj lines.
