Wales district there have been recorded the following:

50. Macropus fraenatus.
53. Halmaturus parryii.
57. Halmaturus elegans.
56. Halmaturus ualabatus.
59. Halmaturus eugenii.
61. Halmaturus dorsalis.
62. Halmaturus parma.
64 ? Halmaturus banksianus.
66. Petrogale robusta.
68. Petrogale penicillata.
70.* Hypsiprymnus minor.
73. Lagorchestes leporoides.

76. Bettongia whitei.
78. Bettongia rufescens.

88. Mus hovellii ?
89. Hapalotis albipes.
90. Hapalotis mitchellii.
92. Echidna aculeata.
94.* Ornithorhynchus paradoxus.
Two species are remarkable as being common to the East and South sides of
the Continent, namely:
48. Macropus laniger.
84. Mus lutreola.
26.* P. fasciata.
The latter is also found in Van Diemen's Land. And the four following
species are common to the South, West, and East sides of the Continent:
5. Scotophilus australis.
32. Phalangista vulpina.
38. Hepoona cookii, and varieties.
81. Hydromys chrysogaster.
These are all also found in Van Diemens' Land, and may therefore be
considered as the most generally distributed of all the Australian
animals. Both the Phalangista and the Hepoona are very variable in their
colours, and may prove to comprise different species when we are enabled
to examine a larger number of specimens from different localities.
