The Sydney Herald

17 January 1833

We have just heard that Mr. Bennett has returned from a scientific journey into the Yass, Murrumbidgee, and Tumat Countries.

In addition to numerous specimens of comparative anatomy, we understand he has succeeded in bringing   with him to Sydney two specimens (male and female) of the ornithorynchus paradoxus, or water mole, in a living state.
