My youngest Kangaroo ( a Buck and which was born at Sydney -- ) was found dead this morning in his Birth [sic] -- which I am very sorry for, as he was a beautiful animal. -- I had him opened but he did not appear to have any internal hurt or disease. ---

N.B. I omitted to mention under its proper date, that during the severe hard gale we had on the Night of the 9th. Instant (March), we lost six very fine fat sheep, owing to the violent motion and labouring of the Ship, and probably also in some measure owing to their being rather too much crowded in the Pen between Decks. -- This we must consider a serious loss in the early part of our voyage.
