MAMMALS FROM NEW GUINEA 607 



set of the specimens, and this set alone, considering the rarity 

 of the animals , the excellence of their preservation , and the 

 exact record of their localities, altitude, and dates, is one of the 

 most valuable that the Museum has ever received from that 

 interesting and little known part of the world. 



Of each of the new species two " co-types " have been spe- 

 cially selected for description, one of these being permanently 

 preserved in the Genoa and the other in the British Museum. 

 The remaining members of the series would of course be simple 

 paratypes. Leptomys elegans is alone represented by a single 

 example. 



The localities at which Dr. Loria collected have been described 

 in Count Salvadori's papers on the birds (^), but for the benefit 

 of mammalogists it may be noted that tliey are mostly between 

 the Owen Stanley Range and the sea, in or near the watershed 

 of the Kemp Welch river. The names which especially recur 

 among the mammals are : 



Haveri (9.25 S., 147.35 E.) and Moroka (9.25 S., U7.4i E.) 

 among the mountains behind the Astrolabe range, near Mt. Wori- 

 Wori. 



Gerekanumu, on the southern slope of the Astrolabe range, 

 (9.31 S. 147.22 E.). 



Jghihirei, on the Kemp Welch river some little way inland; 

 Ramali, Impara and Hula, close to tlie mouth of the same river 

 on the promontory that ends in Cape Hood (10.10 S., 147.44 E.). 



Kapa Kapa (9.50 S., 147.30 E.) , and Upuli a little further 

 east, both on the sea-coast. Aroma, still further east (10.8 S., 

 147.59 E.). Inawi, on the S. Giuseppe river, which runs into 

 Hall Sound. 



On the other hand one locality. Bara Bara, is opposite 

 Killerton Island in Milne Bay at the extreme S. E. corner of 

 New Guinea, while a few odd specimens come from Grange 

 and Woodlark Islands between the D'Entreeasteaux and Solomon 

 Groups.
