"In the long coarse grass with which these flats are always
covered, a species of small kangaroo is usually found, which
the natives call the `wallaby.' Their colour is darker than
that of the forest kangaroo, approaching almost to that of a
fox, and they seat themselves in the grass like a hare or a
rabbit."
