The two specimens of H. gracilis referred to are labelled 
as being from “ Walyema Swamps, 10 miles N.E. of Northam, 
Western Australia:" they are young animals, as may be seen 
by the condition of their incisor teeth; the posterior incisor 
of the upper jaw, for instance, in one specimen, is a new 
tootli, the cutting edge of which had not attained the same 
level as the other two incisors, and is perfectly unworn; as is 
also the case with the other specimen, though the same tooth 
is here a little more advanced. Both the specimens were 
shot when casting their fur, and hence their general colour is 
paler, and more grey, than is that of the specimens of M. Dama
