The Kangaroo.

Captain then Lieutenant) Cook,
with Mr.. (afterward Sir Joseph)
Banks, set sail in 176S, and. the OBJ.
servation OF Venus having been com.
pleted, porceeded in the spring OF
ITO to Eastern Australia, visiting
among other places a spot which, on
account of the number of new and
strange plants there to be found, re.
ceived the name of "Botany Bay"
Subsequently, when detained by an
accident in Endeavor River, some
sailors sent on shore reported they
"had seen an animal as large as a
greyhound, OF slender make, and ex.
tremely swift" 1.-TWO days after
ward" Captain Cook continues, as |
was walking in the morning at a little
distance from the ship, myself saw
one of the animals" A fortnight af'
terward (July 81 some of the crew "set
out with the first dawn in search OF
game, and in a walk OF many miles
they saw four animals OF the same
KIND, two of which Mr.. Banks's grey.
hound fairly chased, but they threw
=
over the long, thick grass, which pre-
vented his running. This animal was
observed not to run upon four legs,
but to bound or leap forward upon
two, like the jerboa. This animal is
called by the natives kangaroo. The
next day our kangaroo was dressed
for dinner and proved most excellent
meat" Such is the earliest notice OF
the observation of this animal by Eng.
lishaen.
AS Australia became better known il
was found to be inhabited by beasts oi
many kinds, all of which were pre-
viously unknown, while they almost
all agreed with the American opos-
sums, in that they were ''pouched" or
"marsupial" animals. Not unnatur.
