Abstract
The location of the missing holotype of the Allied Rock-wallaby Petrogale assimilis is given as the Macleay Museum. Background information about its collection during the Chevert Expedition of 1875, obtained from Sir William Macleay’s personal journal, sheds further light on the history of this important specimen.
The University of Sydney acknowledges that its campuses and facilities sit on the ancestral lands of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander peoples, who have for thousands of generations exchanged knowledge for the benefit of all.
