Abstract
MR. FINLAYSON1 quite rightly corrects the statement that kangaroos are never known to utter any sound normally. I have in Melbourne, four miles from the Melbourne Post Office, at my home, two large grey kangaroos and eight wallabies. I have kept such animals for years, by reason of an investigation undertaken long since into the refractive condition of the eyes of the monotremes and marsupials and of mammalia generally.
