One hundred and twenty-six years
have passed since Europeans first made
the acquaintance with the kangaroo.
One of Capt Cooks sailors. when the
EndeaNour was laid ashore for repair,
on thar part of the coast known as

ton OF an animal about as large and
much like one-gallon cagg, black as

Endeavcur, afterward the great Sir

that the sailors description was rather
