Mr. Goldie having recently returned from New Guinea, lias 

 placed at my disposal a third collection of Mammals and Birds, 

 which he has recently obtained during his excursions inland. 

 The farthest point reached by Mr. Goldie was about 70 miles 

 from the Coast, and here the most interesting portion of his 

 collection was made ; of the remainder, consisting chiefly of 

 such species as I have previously recorded, I shall mention only 

 those not before enumerated, or those which I consider of 

 special interest.
