og was pointed out to us, so fond of
kangarooing that it goes out alone, kills the game, and then
fetches its master to the dead animals."

1847. J. D. Lang, `Cooksland,' p. 422:

"With the gun over his shoulder, and the kangaroo-dog in a
leash by his side."

1850. J. B. Clutterbuck, `Port Phillip in 1849,' c. iii.
p. 35:

"On every station, also, a large kind of greyhound, a cross
of the Scotch greyhound and English bulldog, called the
kangaroo-dog, which runs by sight, is kept for the purpose
of their destruction."

1888. Cassell's `Picturesque Australasia,' vol. ii. p. 91:

"Kangaroo-dogs are a special breed, a kind of strong
greyhound."

1893. `The Argus,' April 8, p. 4, col. 1:

"That big, powerful, black kangaroo-dog Marmarah was well worth
looking at, with his broad, deep chest, intelligent, determined
eyes, sinews of a gymnast, and ribs like Damascus steel. On
his black skin he bore marks of many honourable fights; the
near side showed a long, whitish line where the big emu he had
run down, tackled single-handed, and finally killed, had laid
him open. His chest and legs showed numerous grey scars, each
with a history of its own of which he might well be proud."

<hw>Kangaroo-Fly</hw>, <i>n</i>. a small Australian fly,

1833. C. Sturt, `Southern Australia,' vol. I. c. ii. p. 71:

"Our camp was infested by the kangaroo-fly, which settled upon
us in thousands."

1865. Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods, `History of the Discovery
and Exploration of Australia,' vol. i. p. 313 [Note]:

"Rather smaller than the house-fly, it acts with such celerity
that it has no sooner settled on the face or hands than it
inflicts instantaneously a painful wound, which often bleeds
subsequently. It is called by the colonists the kangaroo-fly;
and though not very common, the author can testify that it is
one of the most annoying pests of Australia."

<hw>Kangaroo-Grass</hw>, <i>n</i>. a name given to several
species of grasses of the genera <i>Anthistiria</i> and
<i>Andropogon</i>, chiefly from their height, but also because,
when they are young and green in spring, the <i>Kangaroo</i>
feeds on them. <i>Andropogon</i> is more like a rush or sedge,
and is sometimes so high as to completely conceal horses. See
<i>Grass</i>.

1827. P. Cunningham, `Two Years in New South Wales,' vol. i.
p. 209:

"Of native grasses we possess the oat-grass, rye-grass,
fiorin, kangaroo-grass, and t
