PREFACE.

Tuts 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 bya double
star (**).

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

NEW GUINEA.

MAMMATITA.

Fam. VESPERTILIONIDA.

HipposipERos.

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.

HirrosipERos 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.

Hab. Aru Islands (Wallace).

a. Male. Aru Island.

Length of head and body 2"; tail §; expanse of wings 54;
length of upper arm bone 13; length of shin bone 3 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
interfemoral membrane broad, truncate at the end; the hind legs
slender, rather elongate ; 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

ne a little beyond the end of the truncated interfemoral mem-
rane,

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 2

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 :—

cyclope, Deschamps, MSS., from Java, which Fischer confounded
with the former, and which has acute ears on the sides of the face,
numerous lamelle under the front part of the nose-leaf, and is
133 inches in expanse of wings. :

PTrEROPUS ARGENTATUS.
Pteropus argentatus, Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858.

Back white, with scattered black hairs ; beneath yellowish ; face
grey, nakedish ; head deeper yellow-grey, with black interspersed
hairs ; collar broad, bright red-chestnut, darker brewn at the sides
and under side, where the hair is longer, forming a kind of ruff ;
ears and membranes (when dry) black.

Cuscus.

Herr Temminck, 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.
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. Temminck 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

B2

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 of the specimens in the British Musenm,
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 observations 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.

looks like a specimen of this species intermediate between the ashy
and spotted variety, being ashy with darker obscure spots.

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.

in the ‘ Voyage of the Uranie,’ t. 6, is more like a variety of C. ursi-
nus ; but the description agrees with our animal.

e. Young female, from the island of Waygeroo; procured from
M. Verreaux.

CATALOGUE OF MAMMALS FROM NEW GUINEA. 7

J. Young female, from Aru Islands; procured from Mr. A. R.
Wallace. 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. i. 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 bythe 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 froht 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. 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 applicable.

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 treés.

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 half of 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 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. ursinus and
C. maculatus.

4. Cuscus URSINUS.

Phalangista (Ceonix) ursina, Temm. Monog. i. 10. t. 1. f. 1-3;
t. 2.f. 1-5, skull; t. 3, skeleton; Lesson, Cent. Zool. t. 10; Water-
house, Mamm. i. 267, part.

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

Ears almost hidden in the fur, clothed with fur internally and ex-
ternally ; fur blackish-ash, with larger silvery hairs ; head, throat,
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. 268.

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; the nape and the upper
part of the niddle of the back blacker, but without any distinct
dorsal streak.

The animal differs, according to the figure, in having the hair of
the tail rather more elongated and spreading than the Australian
species of the genus ; the dentition is more nearly allied to the Ante-
chinus than to the new genus Myoictis sent home by Mr. Wallace.

Myoictts.
Myoictis, J. BE. Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858.

Head tapering; nose acute; whiskers strong. ‘Tail depressed,
tapering, clothed with rather elongated hairs above and on the sides ;
the under side flat, nakedish. Feet moderate; soles bald to the
heel ; toes 5:5, free, compressed ; claws acute ; first and fifth front
toes equal; second, third and fourth toes equal, longer; hinder toes
free, weak, distinct, clawless; thumb of. hind-foot larger. Ears
roundish, maleorl Scrotum pendulous.

Cutting teeth *; the upper with a central space in front between
them, in a close pare 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 {= conical ; the upper not quite developed, only slightly
produced above the level of the other teeth ; the lower small. conical
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 on
the front and hinder edge (figs. 3, 4).

True grinders — 3-3; 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 Marsupialia.

Skull: length, 1 inch 3 lines ; width, all the zygomatic arch, 9 lines;
length of the tooth-line 9 lines. Length of the lower jaw 114, of
symphysis 43, of tooth-line 72 lines (figs. 1, 2, 3, 4).

This genus is peculiar, hecanae, as far as the deniition i 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.

Myorcris WALLACII.

DactTyLopsILa.
Dactylopsila, 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, except
at the outer sides of the base. Pupil round? The fore-feet elon-
gate; toes very slender, compressed, very unequal in length, quite
free; the outer and third or middle toe nearly equal, the second
or ring-finger much the longest, the fourth and fifth short, the fifth
or innermost the shortest. The hind-feet slender, toes compressed,
the two outer toes elongate, nearly equal, the two inner about half
the length and united.

12 CATALOGUE QF MAMMALS FROM NEW GUINEA.

Skull (figs. 5, 6, 7) depressed, very broad, with very large expanded
zygomatic arches ; the face narrow, compressed and nearly erect on
the sides, tapering in front ; the palate narrow, concave. The cutting

teeth i ; the upper front elongate, projecting in front, rather taper-
ing and truncated at the tip ; the second and third compressed, chisel-
shaped, close together and to the front; the second small, the third
larger ; the fourth separated from the others by a small space and
placed on the intermaxillary suture, compressed, curved rather like
a canine; the lower front very long, projecting in front, curved,
rather tapering at the tip; the second, third and fourth small, trun-
cated, separated from each other ; the second largest, close to the base
of the front tooth ; the third small, separated from the second by a
small space; the fourth very small, far from the other; and at the
base of the front edge of the first grinder, in the space 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.
Canines? = upper small, compressed, conical, tapering like, but
smaller than, what I have called the hinder cutting teeth (fig. 7).

Grinders =, small, in two nearly straight lines parallel to each
other, and 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).

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 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 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 MHepoona 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.

DACTYLOPSILA TRIVIRGATA.
Dactylopsila trivirgata, Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858, t. 63.

White; three broad black stripes on the back, the outer ones
commencing on the side of the nose, enclosing the eyes, and con-
tinued along the side of the back ; the central one commencing on
the crown and continued to the end of the tail, being narrower at
the base of the tail: a large black square spot on each side of the
chin, separated by a narrow central line; a large spot on the upper
surface of each leg; the sides of the throat greyish, and the sides

of the body rather greyish from the dark colour of the base of
the fur on that part of the body; the tip of the tail whitish,
and the under part of the upper surface near the tip, with a nar-
row streak ending some way down the middle of the under side
of the tail, black; the under side of the tip of the tail is bald,
but scarcely callous ; the feet flesh-coloured, with few scattered short
whitish hairs; the ears nakedish, black when dry.

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.
