N2  - Milk samples were obtained at regular intervals throughout lactation from tammar wallabies (M. eugenii). Total solids represented only 12 % (w/w) of the milk at the commencement of lactation and gradually increased to about 40% at 36 weeks. Milk proteins represented 4% (w/w) of whole milk during the first 18 weeks of lactation, followed by a rapid increase to around 13 % (w/w) at 36 weeks. Sodium and potassium concentrations were high in early samples of milk but declined to minimal values at 30 weeks. The milk was isosmotic to the plasma at all stages.
