Of the marsupial mammals the Thylacinus cynocephalus (Tiger or Нуæna of the colonists), and the Dasyurus ursinus (or Devil of the colonists), are peculiar to Tasmania, and both are destructive to flocks, the former to the adult sheep, and the latter to lambs ; but as they only inhabit the wildest and less accessible portions of the country, they are not troublesome or injurious to flocks generally over the island. Specimens of these two animals may be seen at the Zoological Gardens, in Regent's-park. (p. 388)

TASMANIAN TIGERS.

It was emerging on to a small plain which is situate about a mile north from the east end of the Black Bluff Mountain, when I saw the bushes in motion a short distance in front of me. I thought the movement was caused by a number of the wombat tribe, the flesh of which is considered to be good eating by travellers in the bush, to whom meat is a luxury, and I sent forward my young though nearly full-grown dog - a setter spaniel - thinking that he might chase the supposed wombat into a hollow tree, where it could be easily captured. But just at the moment two tigers emerged into the open space, and one of them made off, while the other turned fiercely upon the dog, which running back regarded me with an expression which semed to ask as clearly as instinct could, whether he was to attack in earnest. Again I sent him forward, and this time he advanced with such s display of deter- mination, that the tiger, after a faint show of resistance, began to retreat, when the dog, seizing it by the tail, suffered himself to be led along at a quickish pace, while I followed with the view of overtaking them, till I stumbled and fell, and narrowly escaped being cut by a tomnhawk which I held in my hand. Here the dog rushed back as if to see what was the matter; but I again sent him for- ward, and the tiger, now finding escape im- possible, turned upon its assailant, and both fought with the utmost ferocity for about two minutes, when the dog seizing the tiger by the throat and keeping his hold overpowered it in a few seconds, and I then knocked it on the head, thinking I was doing right in destroying one of a kind of ani- mal which is often very destructive to sheep and lambs. The tiger was sixteen inches high and two feet six inches long from the nose to the tail which, was fourteen inches in length.

A short time after the incident above- mentioned I was on the north side of the River Lea, and seeing my dog suddenly bound off I looked in the direction he had taken, and saw him approaching the largest tiger I had ever seen, and which seemed disposed to treat him with the utmost defiance, rushing at and driving him off whenever he approached within a few feet, and then steadily resuming its course. Thinking, from the size of the tiger, that it might prove dangerous even to a man, should it meet one when without a weapon wherewith to defend himself; and thinking that if it effectually intimidated the dog it might return in the night with its mate -for they often go in pairs- and cause me some annoyance, I resolved upon attempting its destruction, and I ran forward for this pur- pose, tomahawk in hand; but the moment it saw me advancing it reversed its course, and made for a scrub at the margin of the river; but the dog being encouraged by my voice and presence rushed at and fastened upon it repeatedly, but was as often repulsed with a sharp bite; he, however, so retarded its pro- gress that I was enabled to overtake it when, thinking to despatch it at a single blow, I struck it on the head with my tomahawk and fractured its skull ; but, notwithstanding this, it reeling and staggering, fought the dog for fully two minutes, inflicting bite after bite in his neck in rapid succession; and placing its fore feet against the upper part of his breast pushed him off by main strength whenever he fastened upon its throat. While this was going on I could not strike a second blow for fear of wounding the dog, at such a rate did they roll about; at length, however, seeing that the tiger was becoming weak, I seized it by the hind legs, and, placing my foot on the dog to keep him steady, I struck it again with my tomahawk severing the spine of its neck and causing its instant death. The height of this tiger to the lowest part of the top of the back was twenty-one inches; the length of the head and body, three feet four inches; of the tail, seventeen inches. It was a female and had in its false belly four young ones, each adhering firmly to a teat and well covered with hair, and just able to walk. I would have kept these young tigers as specimens of animated nature if I had not found that they would not live on the rough food which alone I had to give them. From what I know of the Tasmanian tiger, I believe that whenever it finds itself' menaced by superior force it retreats for its den, and if it succeeds in this it faces about, and being secure from attack except in front, it defends itself with the utmost ferocity, inflicting severe wounds on any assailant that ventures to close with it. I have only heard of one contest between a sheep dog and a large tiger, and in that the former prevailed, though not without being fearfully lacerated by the teeth of the tiger. With a kangaroo dog I do not think that any tiger would be able to contend long owing chiefly to the superior mode of fighting of the former. I have never known a tiger to attack a man -although I once knew one to walk up to two in the bush, but in this case the intruder was knocked on the head before he had shown any aggressive intentions. I have also known a tiger to follow a man for a considerable distance at night, though not attempting to molest him.

TASMANIAN TIGER (Thylacinus cynocephalus).

At some remote period, when Tasmania was still part of the Australian mainland, this blood-thirsty animal existed not many hundred miles from Sydney, as has been proved by a number of teeth and bones found in the caves of Wellington Valley, which may be seen in the Australian Museum.

Its habitat, as far as we know, is now, however, restricted to the island of Tasmania, where it dwells among the rocks and impenetrable glens of the highest mountains, frequently attacking and carrying terror among the flocks of the settlers. The number of young produced is about four at a time.

With regard to the bones, Mr. AUport mentioned that he had carefully examined the whole collection (kindly submitted to him, by Mr. Wintle), and found them to consist of various portions of the skeletons of BrushKangaroos and Vulpine Opossums. At the first glance Mr. Allport hadconcluded that some of the hones, from their size, belonged to Forester Kangaroos, hut from subsequent comparisons with the skull and bones of recent specimens he was now convinced that they all belonged to the Brush Kangaroo (Halmatitrus BennettiiJ, Without seeing the spot it wagof course impossible to judge of the geological age of these bones, but, from Mr. Wintle's description, Mr. Allport thought there could be little doubt that the cavern had, at some not very remote period, formed the residence of a native tiger (Thylacinus cynocephalm) . Many of the bones still contained some trace of animal matter, and all exhibited the appear- ance of having had the the flesh torn from them by beasts of prey—the skull and smaller bones being almost invariably broken," as though to clear out the brains, &c. That tigers were at one time to be found near HobartTown there is little doubt, as he (Mr. Allport) once saw one within three miles of the city—close to the present site of the reservoir, on the SandyBay Rivulet. Whatever the age of these bones might be great credit wasdue to Mr. Wintle for perseveringly unearthing them, and it was an example which he (Mr. Allport) would like to see more generally followed, as by such means interesting fossils would sooner or later be certainly brought to light.
