Ibid, p. 168:
"Since stating the dimensions of the kanguroo, in page 106, Lord Sydney has received from Governor Phillip a male of a much larger size. . . . Lieutenant Shortland describes them as feeding in herds of about thirty or forty, and assures us that one is always observed to be apparently upon the watch at a distance from the rest."
1789. Watkin Tench, `Account of the Settlement of Port Jackson,' p. 171:
"Kangaroo was a name unknown to them [the aborigines of Port
Jackson] for any animal, until we introduced it. When I showed
Colbee [an aboriginal] the cows brought out in the Gorgon he
asked me if they were kangaroos."
1793. Governor Hunter, `Voyage,' p. 66:
"The animal described in the voyage of the <i>Endeavour</i>, called the kangaroo (but by the natives patagorang), we found in great numbers."
Ibid. p. 568:
"I had a kanguroo on board, which I had directions to carry to
Lord Grenville, as a present for his Majesty.—Nov. 26, 1791."
[There is no statement whether the animal reached England.]
Ibid. p. 402:
"In rowing up this branch, we saw a flock of about thirty kangaroos or paderong, but they were only visible during their leaps, as the very long grass hid them from our view."
