 Gould.

Unadorned Rock-Wallaby.

northern as well as the southern portions of the Australian continent are evidently tenanted by members of that section of the Kangaroos to which the present species belongs; for although a single example only has yet reached me from the north coast, it is sufficient to show that such is the case.

The P. inornata is a true Petrogale, and, like the P. concinna, merely differs from its congeners in the total absence of stripes or markings on its sides.

This plain-coloured but rare species is one I would recommend to the notice of the naturalists and explorers who may visit the north coast of Australia, where it was discovered by Mr. Bynoe.

A very reduced figure of the entire animal will be found on the next Plate.
