%X An investigation was commenced to determine whether induced copper depletion caused the seasonal anaemia known to occur in two populations of the quokka, Setonix brachyurus Quoy &amp; Gaimard, on Rottnest 1., W.A. Long-term feeding of molybdenum and inorganic sulphate depressed liver and blood copper levels but anaemia was not produced. In experimental quokkas a relationship was found between absolute daily copper intake and copper levels in the faeces.
