dirty rusty white ; neck and shoulders brownish rust colour, 
the former with a longitudinal black mark ; throat and clicst 
pure white : tail sparingly clothed with short, black hairs 
above ; beneath dirty white ; feet brown. 
Inhabits New South Wales. 
In the list of species of Mammalia contained in the British 
Museum collection, the name of H. Parma , occurs as a species 
described by Mr. Gould in the Proceedings of the Zoological 
Society ; I have not, however, found any animal noticed under 
that name in the work mentioned. Mr. Gould informed me 
that ho had doubts whether he had described it. The Parma 
Wallaby, 1 think, merits the distinction of a species. It is 
intermediate between the II. dorsalis , and the II. Dcrhianux, 
and may be distinguished from either by its deep reddish 
brown colour, and the distinct large white patch on the throat 
and chest ; the hairs forming this patch are white to the root; 
in H. Deriianus they are distinctly grey next the skin, and in 
H. dorsalis they are very slightly tinted with grey at the root 
in the same parts, and this circumstance, combined with the 
general form and superior size of II. Parma , caused me at 
first sight to think it might be a variety of the latter animal; 
I soon perceived, however, that it differed much from H. 
dorsalis in the form and size of its incisor teeth (see PI. 5, fig. 
7), and in the proportion of the tarsus; the three incisors on 
each side of the upper jaw in II. Parma measuring together 
only five lines, whereas they are 7^ lines in H. dorsalis; the 
tarsus of the present animal is much shorter, as will be seen by 
the dimensions. The fur is moderate, both as to length and 
texture; the general colour is deep reddish brown, pencilled 
with white, and much pencilled with black on the back; on die 
sides of the body the white is less distinct, and, as the black is 
wanting, or nearly so, the general hue is paler; the fur on these 
parts is of a very deep grey next the skin; on the under parts of
