The canines in D. Dorianus are very large in comparison with 

 those of the other species of the genus ; their breadth on the 

 cingulum is nearly 4 mm. (or not quite 0, 2 in), but their length 

 has been most likely reduced in this specimen by the effect of 

 the mode of preservation. _ 



I am unable to my regret, to add an account about the other 

 teeth of D. Doriantis, because they are not accessible for 

 inspection in a stuffed specimen. 



In a former paper (1) I have already mentioned that in 

 Osphranter rufus the same peculiarity of the direction of the hair 

 of the neck is to be found as in the Genera Dorcopsis and 

 Dendrolagus. At the time when I wrote the above paper, the 

 only specimen of Osphranter rufus showing the peculiarity was 

 the specimen in the Macleay-Museum ; but since then, Mr. 

 Ramsay informed me, that another specimen of 0. rufus, brought 

 alive from the Eiverina district and presented lately to the 

 Australian Museum, shows distinctly the same peculiarity as the 

 specimen of the Macleay-Museum. 



Two more specimens of 0. rufus of the same kind have been 

 found amongst the collection of skins in the Australian Museum, 

 so that I had now four skins for my inspection (2). The two old
