| dc.description | 'Thomas Skottowe of the 73 (Highland) Regiment of Foot was Commandant of the Newcastle penal settlement from 1811 to 1814. While in Newcastle, Skottowe organised the collection and drawing of specimens for this manuscript. He was also responsible for their arrangement and wrote the accompanying text.' The flying squirrel watercolour is found on page 39 of the manuscript accompanied on page 38 by a description which reads as follows: 'The Flying Squirrel. This beautiful and innocent little animal lives in the large Gum Trees of the country on the berries of which it feeds. It has a membranous skin which extends from the fore to the hind feet, and which enables it with the help of its long bushy tail to fly or leap from tree to tree, the before mentioned skin acting as wings; it is very easily tamed. Native name: Billo'. (acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=423725) | en |
