PREFACE.

This Catalogue gives a list of all the specimens of Mammalia
and Birds received from New Guinea, now in the Collection of
the British Museum, and a list of the species which have been
received from that country contained in other Collections, but
which are now desiderata to the Museum.

Tables are added showing the geographical distribution of
the species of New Guinea and other neighbouring islands, and
of the species found in those islands which have not yet been
observed in New Guinea, — the specimens which are in the
Museum from these various localities being marked by a double
star (**).

Descriptions are given of several species which appear not to
have been hitherto recorded.

MAMMALIA.

Fam. Vespertilionid^.

HiPPOSIDEROS.

AsM. Bonaparte has given the name of Phyllorhina to the Euro-
pean Horse-shoe Bats, the genus Hipposidei-os may be confined to
those species of the larger genus which have a large cavity opening
with an expanding pore on the forehead behind the transverse hinder
part of the nose-leaf (they have distinct pubal teats), thus restrict-
ing riiyllorhina to those which have a simple forehead without any
pore.

HiPPOSIDEROS ArUENSIS.

Hipposideros Aruensis, J. E. Gray, Proc. Zool. So'c. 1858.

Sooty-brown ; the lower half of the hairs of the back paler ; the
hairs of the under side more uniform, or with rather paler tips ;' the
ears large, broad, rounded at the ends, with two hairy lines on the
inner side of the front edge ; face and chin rather bristlj^ without
any membranaceous ridges on the sides outside of the nose-leaf.

Hab. Aru Islands {Wallace).

a. Male. Aru Island.

Length of head and body 2" ; tail f ; expanse of wings 5\ ;
length of upper arm bone \\ ; length of shin bone | inch.

The ears sooty-black ; the front margin of the ears is broad, with
a rounded lobe on the basal part near the forehead ; wings broad,

thin, sooty-black, bald ; thumb slender, of two subequal joints ; the
intorfcinoial nicnibranc broad, truncate at the end ; the hind lec;s
slender, rather elonjiate ; feet slender, enveloped in the membrane
to the base of the slender equal compressed toes ; the heel-bones
elongate, longer than the foot ; tail elongate, slender, attached, and
extending a little beyond the end of the truncated interfemoral mem-
brane.

Cutting teeth -^ ; upper large, chisel-shaped, separated by a
small space from each other and from the canines ; the lower small,
crowded, three-lobed ; canines conical ; grinders ?

The specimen is unfortunatelj' rather injured about the face ; but
it apj)eavs quite distinct in form from any of the Ilorse-shoc Bats I
have hitherto observed.

This species appears to be quite distinct from Ilipjwsuleros
speoris of Timor, which is described as being a little larger than the
larger Enghsh Horse-shoe Bat, Phyllorhina hifer ; it has the follow-
ing synonyma : —

Cuscus.

Ilerr Tennninck, in the first volume of the ' Monographies de
Mammalogie,' published in 1827, divides the short hairy-eared kinds,
Cusci, into three species.

At the time he wrote he only had specimens from the northern
part of Celebes, brought home by Professor Reinhardt, and from
the islands of Banda and Amboyna.

These species evidently depend principally on the colour of the
fur, which appears to be very variable in different individuals. It is
true that he describes and figures skulls of the different individuals ;
but the difference between those of Phalangista chrysorrhos and P.
mucidata appears chiefly to depend on the age and development of
the specimen figured. M. Temminck and the writers of his school
always forget that the skull and other parts of the skeleton are
liable to quite as much variation from local circumstances, food,
and other accidental causes, as the colour of the fur or the size of
the animal. M. Temminck characterizes them thus: —

1. In Phalangista ursina the fur is thicker aud closer, and the
long hairs thicker than in the other species, blackish, with yellow
tips to the longer hairs ; and the forehead of the skull is flat. Of this
he had several specimens of diflereut ages, all brought by Professor

D 2

Reiuhardt from the northern part of Celebes, tlie natives of which
have not ohscrvcd any varieties in colonring.

2. P. chrjisorrhos is described from two specimens brouo;ht home
by the same Professor, from some of the Mohieeas, which have a short
cottony fnr, of an ash-prey more or U-ss Ijlack, and the rump and
upper part of the base of the tail golden-yellow.

3. Of P. macu/afa Ilerr Temminck })articularly observes, that the
fur in all ages and in both sexes is covered with irregular white or
brown spots, which are paler and less marked in the young. The
very young are sometimes entirely ashy. They come from Banda
and Amboyna.

The yellow colour of the rump and the base of the tail, as far as
the specimens in the British Museum show, is common to the ashy
specimens, which might be called P. chri/sorrhos, and the variegated
specimens, which might be named P. maculata : it is very diffi-
cult to distinguish the pale-rumped ashy ones from those without
that mark ; but it is easy to connect the grey or ashy-spotted ones
with either the one or the other ; and it is impossible to separate
the ashy-grey spotted ones from the brown or orange spotted speci-
mens. In one specimen the iinimal is nearly white, with some small
dark spots about an inch over ; and in another the animal is white,
with red feet, and one large red spot on the middle of the back.

From the examination of the specimens in the British Museum,
and of their skulls, I am inclined to believe that the P. ursina is
distiuct, and that P. chrijsorrhos and P. maculata are varieties of the
same species.

Mr. Wallace having sent two specimens of this genus to the British
Museum, to determine them I went over the previous observations on
the genus, and examined the mimerous specimens which are in the
Museum collection, received from the French voy.iges of discovery,
Mr. J. Macgillivray, the Naturalist of II. M. Ship ' Rattlesnake,'
and those now sent from the Island of Ula ; and I have come to the
belief that they are all to be referred to four species, which are very
variable in thecolour of the fur ; one being variable in both the sexes,
and the other, in which the sexes differ greatly from each other,
but appear to be permanent in their colour ; one S])ecies in which
the furs of the two sexes are alike and uniform in colour ; and one,
of which the female sex only is known, which is uniform iron-grey.

The two have the ears small, hairy on both sides, and hidden in
the fur ; the other two have larger ears, exposed beyond the fur and
bald withiu.

CATALOGUE OF MAMMALS FROM NEAV GUINEA. 7

f. Young female, from Aru Islands ; procured from Mr. A. 11.
Wallace. These two only differ from the adult sjjecimen in. the
silvery hairs of the back being rather more abundant, but they seem
to be deciduous.

Phcdangista Pnpvensis of Desm. was described from a female
specimen collected by M. Gaimard, which was afterwards described
as Ph. Quoyi. In Quoy and Gaimard, ' Zoology to the Voyage of
the Uranie,' it is described as having a darker dorsal line, which
rather widens over the loins, which at once shows that it must be the
female of P. orient alls.

Mr. Waterhousc has referred both these names without any com-
ment as a synonym of P. maculata, misled probably by Ilerr
Temminck, who (Mon. Mamm. i. 18) states it to be a young P. ma-
culata— evidently overlooking the dorsal stripe.

Lesson, in the ' Voyage of the Coqnille,' tigures a male animal as
Cuscus albus, t. 6, from Port Praslin, New Ireland, which is white,
with a narrow black streak, just as in the female of this species.

Knowing the little reliance that is often to be placed on ]\I. Les-
son's figures, I suspect it is the figure of a pale or perhaps bleached
specimen of a female P. orientalis, in which some fold of the pouch,
probably produced from bad stuffing, has been mistaken by the artist
for the scrotum of a male.

3. Cuscus BREVICAUDATUS.

Phalangista nudicaudata, Gould, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1849, p. 110.
Cuscus brevicaudatus, Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858.

The ears hid in the fur, woolly internally and externally ; tail
short; the forehead 1 ; the front lower cutting-teeth broad.

Female uniform ashy-grey ; rump and base of tail, throat, chest
and belly yellowish dirty-white.

Hab. Australia, Cape York.

a. "A female two-thirds grown, from Cape York." Presented
by John Macgillivray, Esq,

The only specimen known is very like the ashy variety of C. macu-
latus, but the front lower cutting-teeth are much broader, and the
tail, which has the bones still remaining on it, is considerably shorter
than any of our specimens of C. maciilatus.

The specimen in the British Museum is that described by Mr.
Gould.

Mr. Gould refers this animal to the subgenus Pseudocheims of the
genus Phalarif/ista, and calls it P. nudicaudata, because it " differs
from all the other Australian members of the genus in having the
apical three-fourths of its tail entirely destitute of hair." But Mr.
Gould overlooked the fact that it is not a Pseudocheivus, but a Cus-
cus, all the species of which have the major part of the tail naked ;
and the species under consideration has the naked part of the tail,
and indeed the tail itself, shorter than the rest of the species ; so that
the specific name of nudicaudata is singularly inapplicable.

'J'he light mark on the runij), which Mr. Gould compared to (hat

of the Koala, is also common to the species of Ciiscks, and is pro-
bably ])rodiieed by tbe liabit of tlie animal sitting on its rum]), rolled
up into a ball, on tbe fork of tbe brandies of trees.

Tbe sknll sbows tbat tbe animal is mucb younger tlian tbe label
indicates, as it appears only to liave the milk teeth, and tbe broad
lower incisors of tbe younger specimens of this genus. The skull
differs both from tbat of C. ursiiuis and C. maoiluttis, but it is too
young to predict what may be the normal form of the adult animal.

The front half of the space between tbe eyes is rather convex, but
not nearly so much so as tbe young skidl of C viactilatus; and the
front of tbe forehead just behind the convexity described is rather
concave ; this concavity has no resemblance to the deep concavity
occupying nearly the whole space between the eyes in C. ursirms and
C. maculatus.

Cuscus ursmus. Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858.

Ears almost hidden in the fur, clothed with fur internally and ex-

belly and tail rather pale brown ; forehead flat, concave ; forehead
of the skull flat, deeply concave ; grinders large, in a strongly-arched
series.

Hab. Celebes.

a. The specimen with its skull, which was obtained from the Zoolo-
gical Society, and is the specimen described by Mr. Waterhouse in
Mammalia, i. p. '2G8.

The other specimen there indicated as being in the British Mu-
seum is a young example of C. maculatus.

In Lesson's figure in Cent. Zool. t. 10, it is represented as uniform
blackish-brown, with rather large white-edged ears !

The larger size of the teeth and the flatness of the forehead of the
skull at once separate this from C. maculatus.

5. Cuscus Celebensis.

Ears produced beyond the fur, naked internally. Male and female
alike, ashy-grey, grizzled with silvery hairs ; tbe nape and the upper
part of the middle of the back blacker, but without any distinct
dorsal streak.

Head tapering ; nose acute ; wjiiskers strong. Tail depressed,
tapering, clothed with rather elongated hairs above and on the sides ;
tlie under side flat, nakedish. Feet moderate ; soles bald to the
heel ; toes 5*5, free, compressed ; claws acute ; first and fifth front
toes ecpial ; second, third and fourth toes equal, longer; hinder toes

roundish, nakedish. Scrotum pendulous.

Cutting teeth ^; the upper with a central space in front between
them, in a close series on each side, and with a small interspace be-
tween them and the canines ; the first tooth very small, hidden in the
gums, the others all equal, lancet-shaped, rather crowded; the lower
forming a continued series, shelving forward, all lancet-shaped, sub-
equal ; the front rather the longest and narrowest ; the hinder rather
broader.

Canines -j^jJ conical ; the upper not quite developed, only slightly
produced above the level of the other teeth ; the lower small, com'ral
scarcely raised above the other teeth (figs. 3, 4).

False grinders |^, conical, compressed ; the lower with a very
obscure, the upper with a rather more distinct, conical tubercle <>n
the front and hinder edge (figs. 3, 4).

True grinders ^ ; the upper large, triangular, acutely lobed ;
the lower compressed, very acutely lobed ; the middle one in each
jaw the largest.

The angle of the lower jaw is produced, elongate and strongly in-
flexed, as is usual in Mursiqnalia.

ting teetli, that I could tind any indication of the front pair of cut-
ting teeth found in tlie aUied genus Antechimis.

Fig. 4.

This genus is evidently alUed to the genus Anfeckhms of AustraHa;
but it is known at once by its external form, which is just that of a
small Indian Herpestes or Ichneumon, having like that genus a de-
pressed tail with long spreading hair, hroad and depressed at the
base, tapering to an acute tip which bears a pencil of hairs.

Myoictis Wallacii.

Myoictis JVallacii, Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858, t. 64.

Rusty-brown, with interspersed black longer hairs ; head redder ;
throat, chest and belly pale reddish ; side of the neck at the base of
the ears bright reddish ; ears, and the greater part of the tail bright
red-brown ; tip of the tail black.

Ductylopsila, J, E. Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858.

Tail elongate, slender, depressed, densely clothed with fur, with
the exception of the under side near the tip, which is bald and cal-
lous, the end rather bushy. Ears elongate, rounded, bald, exce])t
at the outer sides of the base. Pupil round 1 The fore-feet elon-
gate ; toes very slender, compressed, very unequal in length, quite
free ; the outer and third or middle toe nearly equal, tlie second
or ring-finger much the longest, the fourth and fifth short, the fifth
or innermost the shortest. The hind-l'eet slender, toes comjiressed,
the two outer toes elongate, nearly equal, the two iuaer about half
the length and united.

small s))acc ; the fourth very small, far from the other ; and at the
base of the front edge of the first grinder, in the sjmce between the
third and fourth on the right side of the jaw, is a cavity which
appears to have been filled with a tooth like the third one, but
there is no appearance of the tooth or cavity on the other side.

front ones ; the front upi)er small, triangular ; the others four-sided
and square, with four tubercles, the outer front tubercle of the
second tooth being rather larger than the rest, which are nearly
ecpial among themselves, and the front lower grinder has only one
larger tubercle in the place of the two in the others (figs. 8, 9).

This genus is very distinct from the other genera of P/iafanfflsfina,
in the elongated and depressed form of the tail, the formation of the
fore-feet, and especially in the disposition and form of the teeth, as
well as in the broad depressed skull.

The following observations may assist in showing the value of
these characters.

Fig. 9.

In Cuscus the fingers are rather longer than in Hepoona, and the
third or middle finger is the longest, the others becoming gradually
shorter on each side.

In Phalangista proper (that is Trichosurus of Mr. Waterhouse) the
fingers are moderatclylong, the second and third are the longest and
equal, the fourth longer than the first, and the fifth or inner one
the shortest.

The hand of the Hepoona is very like that of Phahiiujista, both in
the proportion and form of the fingers ; but the two inner fingers are
rather separated and opposable to the other three.

The tail, though covered with hair, is very unlike those of the
genera Hepoona and Phalanyista, and is more like that of a squirrel,
but not so bushy ; in Hepoona it is tapering and covered with
shortish hair, and has a slender tip ; in the more perfect specimen
of Phalangista it is cylindrical and equally covered with hair on all
sides.

In Hepoona and Phalangista the grinders are placed in arched
series, and they are much larger compared with the size of the skull
than in this genus, and the hinder grinders are larger than the front
ones ; the front grinder in the upper jaw is larger, more elongate,
and compressed.

The "intensely shining orange-coloured" lateral plumes easily
distinguish this bird from the specimens of P. apoda in the British
Museum, and from the representations given in the works of Le-
vaillant, Vieillot, and Lesson, &c. The yellow on the top of the
head and back of neck is also of a much paler colour, both in the
specimens with and without lateral plumes. In Forrest's 'Voyage
to New Guinea ' it is stated that the Great Bird of Paradise of
Aroo migrated, "when the easterly or wet monsoon set in," to New
Guinea ; but we learn from the interesting paper * of Mr. A. R.
Wallace that this " is quite incorrect, as they are permanent resi-
dents in Aru, and the natives know nothing of their being found in
New Guinea." The two differences previously mentioned, which
were uniform in all the specimens sent home by Mr. Wallace, induce
me to suppose that, if not a distinct species, it is at least a well-
marked local variety of the Great Bird of Paradise.
