Slender-footed "Pouched-Mice."
Podabrus.
P. macrourus. Queensland.
P. crassicaudatus. Interior of New South Wales.
P. albipes. Australia generally.
P. murinus. Australia generally.
P. fuliginosus. Australia generally.
P. feruginifrons. Australia generally.
P. apicalis. Australia generally.
Several other small slender-footed Marsupials have been described, but merely on account of a slight difference in coloration; nothing being said about their teeth. We consider the above five species varieties only. The slender-footed animals which have been arranged under the genus Podabrus are principally terrestrial in their habits. A larger kind, P. Mitchellii, from the interior of New South Wales, should be added to this list. The original is in the Australian Museum, but much mutilated; it was discovered by the late Surveyor-General of New South Wales, Sir Thomas L. Mitchell, K.C.B.
