Letter to Ludwig Glauert, Curator of the Museum from Lewis Crompton, Burekup.Following your article in the Sunday Times inquiring about the Kangaroo Rat.Years ago there were hundreds about Lake Preston and the Myalup Swamp on the Coast.I saw one years
ago at the Welsley near the Mornington Brook. Last year they had vanished.The opossum is now scarce in that locality.I have seen an animal about the size of a mouse but looked like an opossum and another about the same size with a dogs nose and head and with a pouch like a native cat. Please identify.
