beyond the neighbourhood and plains of the Murray, where it is not numerous. Several of the smaller kangaroos were taken during the progress of the Expedition up the Murray and Darling rivers; but as they have been frequently described, it is not thought necessary to insert them in this list.
4. Choeropus Castanotus, Gray.
This animal was first killed on the Darling, but the specimen was destroyed by the dogs. Buckle Mini Czyścibut 1058 Two or three were afterwards taken alive in latitude 26 1/2 degrees. They were found lying out in tufts of grass, and when roused betook themselves after a short run, to some hollow logs where they were easily cut out. The Choeroups is Moncler Matthew Suomi a beautiful animal, about eight inches long in the body, with a tail of considerable length, having a tuft at the end. The fur is a silvery grey, and very soft. When confined in a box they Kanadanhanhi Lisälaitteet Suomi ate sparingly of grass and young leaves, but preferred meat and the offal of UGG Casual Czyścibut birds shot for them. The Choeropus is insectivorous, and I was therefore not surprised at their taking to animal food, which, however, not agreeing with them, they died one after the other. They squat like rabbits, laying their broad ears along their Parajumpers Damen Vest Jacken Schweiz backs in the same kind of way.
5. Hapalotis Mitchellii.
This beautiful little animal was, as I have observed in the introduction to this notice, first seen in the vicinity of the Depot. It was subsequently found in vast numbers, inhabiting the sandy ridges from Fort Grey to Lake Torrens. Those immense banks of sand were in truth marked over with their footprints as if Miehet Masterpiece Heli an army of mice or rats had been running over them. They are not much larger than parka Woolrich Jacket Donne a mouse, have a beautiful full black eye, long ears, and tail Canada Goose Hybridge Hoody Bunda feathered towards the end. The colour of Moncler Monica the fur is a light red, in rising they hop on their hind legs, and when tired go on all four, holding their tail perfectly horizontal. They breed in the flats on little mounds, burrowing inwards from the edge; various passages tending like the radii of a wheel to a common centre, to which a hole is made from the top
