Macropus.
M. agilis. At Wuroi Apr.2 Jacking shot three. 2 small males, 1
small female. Eyes dull orange but moon too bright to see them
well. The female with one naked young in pouch about 8"
head-body. All seen near together in one patch of tea tree
savanna. Tulstedt & Rogers walking in trail in afternoon saw-
a few & heard the thruds of others leaping away. At Dogwa
Apr.3. The moon was even worse. Heard great noises but
saw only few. They may sit upright on boughs start
at advancing light, but more often they crouch with
the head held low ready to leap away at an instant's
utter. I shot a small female and a large male; Tulstedt
shot another large male. They appear to feed gregariously - from
5 o'clock on into the night. In the morning they hide away by
8 a.m.

one with a naked young one in pouch, were brought in by locals from
