244 THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY 



The male resembles that sex of C. maculata from Cape York, 

 and is largely marked with irregular white blotches on a dull 

 brown ground. The feet, face, and rump are rusty red or of a 

 yellowish rust colour, in some darker than in others. A waxy 

 secretion near the testes is collected by the natives, and being 

 rolled up with the leaves of a species of Salvia is kept as a scent 

 bag, and worn about the person. Broadbent obtained a fine 

 series of this species about 30 miles inland from Port Moresby.

This is the common species about Port Moresby. 

 (Goldiej Morton, Broadbent) 



12. — Dendrogalus, sp. 



A species of Dendrogalus was met with upon two occasions, 

 but only one specimen has been obtained, which is, I believe, in 

 Mr. Groldie's collection.

One large specimen in Morton's collection measures : — 

 Total length to root of tail, 15 in. ; from snout to ear, 3'2 in. ; 

 to eye, 1*35 ; fore foot and toes, 1*6 ; hind foot and toes, 16 ; 

 tail, 6 in. One young one in spirits obtained by Broadbent 

 is of apparently the same species.

Vol. 2 p. 32 



Mr. Goldie was fortunate enough to obtain from the natives 

 three specimens, but unfortunately preserved only the stuffed 

 skins, so that I have no opportunity of adding any further in- 

 formation than that contained in my previous paper. The natives 

 look upon them as a most delicious article of food. 



* I may as woU indicate here the discovery by Mr. K. Broadbent of a very large 

 species of Perameles ? in the mountains adjacent to the Goldie River. This animal, 

 which will probably form the type of a new genus, will be described hereafter.
