As already observed, I was not at home when it first came, and she told me she found it in the woods. It seems odd that it should be the only one, yet it must be so, for I have worn myself out these many weeks trying to find another one to add to my collection, and for this one to play with; for surely then it would be quieter, and we could tame it more easily.

nd this is not attractive. It is built much as we are, but its method of travelling shows that it is not of our breed. The short front legs and long hind ones indicate that it is of the kangaroo family, but it is a marked variation of the species, since the true kangaroo hops, whereas this one never does. Still, it is a curious and interesting variety, and has not been catalogued before. As I discovered it, I have felt justified in securing the credit of the discovery by attaching my name to it, and hence have called it Kangaroorum Adamiensis…. It must have been a young one when it came, for it has grown exceedingly since. It must be five times as big, now, as it was then, and when discontented is able to make from twenty-two to thirty-eight times the noise it made at first. Coercion does not modify this, but has the contrary effect. For this reason I discontinued the system. She reconciles it by persuasion, and by giving it things which she had previously told it she wouldn’t give it. P UNCOMFORTABLY HIGH IN THE AIR AND THIS IS NOT ATTRACTIVE IT IS BUILT MUCH AS WE ARE BUT ITS METHOD OF TRAVELLING SHOWS THAT IT IS NOT OF OUR BREED ITS SHORT FRONT LEGS AND LONG HIND ONES INDICATE THAT IT IS OF THE KANGAROO FAMILY BUT IT IS A MARKED VARIATION OF THE SPECIES SINCE THE TRUE KANGAROO HOPS WHEREAS THIS ONE NEVER DOES STILL IT IS A CURIOUS AND INTERESTING VARIETY AND HAS NOT BEEN CATALOGUED BEFORE AS I DISCOVERED IT I FELT JUSTIFIED IN SECURING THE CREDIT OF THE DISCOVERY BY TOUCHING MY NAME TO IT AND HENCE HAVE CALLED IT KANGAROUUM ADAMENSIS IT MUST HAVE BEEN A YOUNG ONE WHEN IT CAME FOR IT HAS GROWN EXCEEDINGLY SINCE IT MUST BE FIVE TIMES AS BIG NOW AS IT WAS THEN AND WHEN DISCONTENTED IS ABLE TO MAKE FROM TWENTY TWO TO THIRTY EIGHT TIMES THE NOISE IT MADE AT FIRST COERCION DOES NOT MODIFY THIS BUT HAS THE CONTRARY EFFECT FOR THIS REASON I DISCONTINUED THE SYSTEM SHE RECONCILES IT BY PERSUASION AND BY GIVING IT THINGS WHICH SHE HAD PREVIOUSLY TOLD IT SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT
