Like others of the section of Kangaroos to which the 
Black-striped Kangaroo belongs, the present species frequents 
those districts which are well clothed with dwarf shrubs. It 
is apparently confined to the interior of New South Wales, 
and is said to he found in great numbers in the scrubs clothing 
the sides of tho hills that run parallel to the rivers Mokai 
and Nainoi; and Mr. Gould found it especially abundant at 
Brezi, to the northward of the Liverpool plains, and in the 
Brigaloo brush, on the Lower Nainoi. He often shot these 
animals for food, their flesh being excellent. They are 
trapped by the natives, both for their flesh and for their skins, 
which are used for clothing.
