DENDROLAGUS URSINUS, Müller,
AND '
DENDROLAGUS INUSTUS, Müller.
A f ig u r e o f each o f these two very remarkable and highly interesting speeies o f Tree Kangaroos has been given
m the fine work now publishing by my friend M. Temminck, entitled “ Verhandelingen over de Natuurlijke gescliie-
denis der Nederlandsche overzeesche bezittingen,” &c.; but as the text appertaining to those plates has not yet appeared,
I am unable to give any further account o f them than has been conveyed to me in a letter received from M. Temminck,
who says
The two species were discovered by our traveller M. S. Müller during his researches in New Guinea, and who has pro-
posed for them the names here given: they were found at Triton Bay, and also inhabit the interior of the country; they are
arboreal in their habits, climbing trees with the utmost facility.”
M. Temminck adds, that M. Müller will shortly publish a highly interesting account o f the habits and economy of
these extraordinary animals, which will be given in the third part o f this Monograph.
