A new Tree-Kangaroo from south-eastern Papua
Abstract
The.female Dendrolagus described below, which was received at Taronga Zoological Park in 1935 through the courteous efforts of Mr. O. J. Atkinson, provides what appears to be the south-easternmost Papuan record for the genus,and apparently represents a new pale-faced drabby brown form of the dorianus group. When immature the animal was of an even. dark-brown colour, but has since developed a strikingly pallid facial coloration in contrast with the dark muzzle, ears, and drabby brown body.
