PETROGALE INORNATA, Gould.
Unadorned Rock-Wallaby.

T h e 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. inomata 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.
