First printing the complete part 6 of Volume XXI of this beautiful monograph on the tree kangaroo with fine colored plates after Frohawk. This was the first comprehensive taxonomy of the species and features fourteen species from New Guinea and surrounding islands as well as Lumholtz’s Tree-Kangaroo and Bennett’s Tree-Kangaroo both from northern Queensland. The exquisite plates apparently none of which were based upon live specimens were executed by the well-known natural history artist Frederick William Frohawk. Dendrolagus includes the tree-kangaroo or kapul which are like Wallabys marsupials adapted for arboreal locomotion. Most tree-kangaroos are considered threatened due to hunting and habitat destruction. The basis of Rothschild’s study here was his own collection now part of the British Natural History Museum.
