It may, however, be necessary to observe that the teats are several inches long and capable of great dilatation.

And here I beg leave to correct an error which crept into my former publication wherein I asserted that, "the teats of the kangaroo never exceed two in number." They sometimes, though rarely, amount to four.
There is great reason to believe that they are slow of growth and live many years.

This animal has a clavicle, or collar-bone, similar to that of the human body.

The general colour of the kangaroo is very like that of the ass, but varieties exist.

Its shape and figure are well known by the plates which have been given of it.
