, one of which was a stuffed skin mount, as indicated in the caption to his fig. 1. The material has not been reported since the original account. Miklouho-Maclay stated that his description is based partly from a freshly deceased male killed by a dog in 1876, and the only body measurements provided were taken from that individual soon after death. He stated that he shot the other male in 1872, which is also noted in his diary entry for 15th August (

in Sydney at the time he prepared his species account but we have not examined all of his correspondence and notes. It is possible that Miklouho-Maclay did not have access to a stuffed skin when preparing his description. It would have been possible to prepare the description entirely from measurements, notes, drawings and photographs taken during his time at the Maclay Coast. The caption to fig.

his paper, a drawing of a whole animal, is intriguing. It states that the drawing was taken partly from life and partly from a photograph of a stuffed specimen. Notably, the claws on the feet are drawn at a sharp angle which is consistent with rigor mortis. This is a very unnatural position for a properly prepared skin mount but is consistent with a drawing prepared from a recently deceased wallaby.

and further support for that conclusion arises from the context of that shipment of specimens from MAMU. First, the entire shipment of vertebrates were fluid-preserved and the skull of AM M.2031 was almost certainly extracted at the AM. Second, as discussed in the Introduction, an associated letter from the Macleay Museum Committee, considered the donated specimens to be worthless and a waste of space. It seems unlikely that individual skulls would also have been sent from the MAMU dry Collection under these circumstances.

. Although not stated in the text, skulls of two individuals are illustrated in plate 19 of the original account. The skull in fig. 6 has a tooth row with fully erupted rear molars and three other erupted teeth, in contrast to the partially erupted rear molars and two fully erupted teeth seen in fig. 9. The asymmetry and lack of detail of the skull illustrated in fig. 6 suggests either a free-hand sketch or else shows considerable optical distortion, while figs 7–11 are more detailed and most likely prepared using a camera lucida.
