Tas 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 m New Guinea,—the specimens which are in the Museum from these various localities beg marked bya double star (**). Descriptions are given of several species which appear not to have been hitherto recorded.

MAMMALIA. Fam. VESPERTILIONID. HiprosipDERos. As M. Bonaparte has given the name of Phyllorhina to the Euro- pean Horse-shoe Bats, the genus Hipposideros 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 Phyllorhina to those which have a simple forehead without any pore. HipposipDEROS ARUENSIS. Hipposideros Aruensis, J. E. Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 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 bristly, without any membranaceous ridges on the sides outside of the nose-leaf.

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 unfortunately rather injured about the face ; but it appears quite distinct in form from any of the Horse-shoe Bats I have hitherto observed. This species appears to be quite distinct from Hipposideros speoris of Timor, which is described as being a little larger than the larger English Horse-shoe Bat, Phyllorhina bifer ; it has the follow- ing synonyma :— Vespertilio speoris, Schneid. in Schreb.

Aru Island. Cuscus. Herr Temminck, in the first volume of the ‘Monographies de Mammalogie,’ published i in 1827, divides the short hairy- -eared kinds, Cusct, into three species. At the time he wrote he only had specimens from the northern part of Celebes, brought home by Professor Reinhardt, 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. maculata 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. Temminek characterizes them thus :— 1. In Phalangista ursina the fur is thicker and closer, and the long hairs thicker than in the other species, blackish, with yellow tips to the longer hairs ; and the forehead of the skullis flat. Of this he had several specimens of different ages, all brought by Professor B 2 4 CATALOGUE OF MAMMALS FROM NEW GUINEA. Reinhardt from the northern part of Celebes, the natives of which have not observed any varieties in colouring. 2. P. chrysorrhos is described from two specimens brought home by the same Professor, from some of the Moluccas, which have a short cottony fur, of an ash-grey more or less black, and the rump and upper part of the base of the tail golden-yellow. 3. Of P. maculata Herr Temminck particularly 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. chrysorrhos, 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 animal 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 BE the specimens in the British Museum, and of their skulls, I ‘am inclined to believe that the P. ursina is distinct, and that P. chrysorrhos 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 observ ations on the genus, and examined the numerous specimens which are in the Museum collection, received from the French voyages of discovery, Mr. J. Macgillivray, the Naturalist of H.M. Ship ‘ Rattlesnake,’ aud 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 the colour 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 species 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 within. 1. Cuscus MACULATUS. Phalanger, male, Buffon, H.

Chrysorrhos would perhaps be the better name for this species, - because all I have seen have a yellow rump and base of the tail ; but some are not spotted. 2.

These two only differ from the adult specimen in the silvery hairs of the back being rather more abundant, but they seem to be deciduous. . Phalangista Papuensis 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. orientalis. Mr. Waterhouse has referred both these names without any com- ment as a synonym of P. maculata, misled probably by Herr Temminck, who (Mon. Mamm... 18) states it to be a young P. ma- culata—evidently overlooking the dorsal stripe. Lesson, in the ‘ Voyage of the Coquille,’ figures 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 M. 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 ?; 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 eutting-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. maculatus. The specimen in the British Museum is that described by Mr. Gould. Mr. Gould refers this animal to the subgenus Pseudocheirus of the genus Phalangista, 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 Pseudocheirus, 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. The light mark on the rump, which Mr. Gould compared to that 8 CATALOGUE OF MAMMALS FROM NEW GUINEA. of the Koala, is also common to the species of Cuscus, and is pro- bably produced by the habit of the animal sitting on its rump, rolled up into a ball, on the fork of the branches of trees. The skull shows that the animal is much younger than the label indicates, as it appears only to have the milk teeth, and the broad lower incisors of the younger specimens of this genus. The skull differs both from that of C. ursinus and C. maculatus, but it is too young to predict what may be the normal form of the adult animal. The front halfof the space between the eyes is rather convex, but not nearly so much so as the young skull of C. maculatus; and the front of the forehead just behmd 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. ursinus and C. maculatus. 4, CUSCUS URSINUS.

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.

This genus is peculiar, because, as far as the dentition is concerned, there is no character by which we should have determined that it was a Marsupial animal; but the form of the angle of the lower jaw at once shows its true affinity to that group. It was not until a CATALOGUE OF MAMMALS FROM NEW GUINEA. 11 most-careful examination of the space between’the front upper cut- ting teeth, that I could find any indication of the front pair of cut- ting teeth found in the allied genus Antechinus. This genus is evidently allied to the genus Antechinus of Australia; 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, broad and depressed at the ‘base, tapering to an acute tip which bears a pencil of hairs.

Grinders + a small, in two nearly straight lines parallel to each other, ial the hinder ones in each jaw rather smaller. than the front ones; the front upper 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 equal among themselves, and the front lower grinder has only one larger tubercle in the place of the two in the others (figs. 8, 9). _ Fig. 6. This genus is very distinct from the other genera of Phalangistina, 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. CATALOGUE OF MAMMALS FROM NEW GUINEA. 13 The following observations may assist in showing the value of these characters. Fig. 9. In Cuscus the fingers are rather longer than in Hepoone, 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 moderatelylong, 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 Phalangista, 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 Phalangista, 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 specinien 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.
