5 Aroma. 



Closely allied to A^. norfolkensis^ Gray, of which it is evi- 

 dently the Papuan representative. Size rather smaller, judged by 

 the forearm. Dentition, and characters of ears and tragus as in 

 that species. Fur very short, close and velvety, only from 2 to 

 3 millim. in length on the back. Colour above fulvous or chestnut 

 brown, the extreme bases of the hairs whitish; below, the hairs 

 are yellowish or whitish buff, sometimes tipped with brown on 

 the sides. Chin naked, brown, contrasting with the light coloured 

 throat and belly. Wing membranes outside a line drawn from 

 the elbow to the knee whitish or white, but the skin of the 

 forearms and digits, tail, and interfemoral membrane are brown. 

 Below, the whole of the membranes and limbs are white. 



Dimensions of the co-types, both female : 



Forearms 32 and 31.5. 



Head and body 54 and 54; tail 26 and 24; ear 14 and 14.5. 



Extreme length of skull 15. 



Hab. Kamali. 



The short fur and w^hite wing membranes of this bat will 

 readily separate it not only from the typical iY. norfolkensis, 

 but also from the latter's continental representative A", ivilcoxi, 

 Krefft {N. planiceps, Peters). 



15. Hydromys beccarii, Pet. 



1 (young) H averi. 8 November 1893. 



Without farther material, both Papuan and Australian, it is 

 impossible to make out the exact relation of the New Guinea 

 Hydromys to its Australian congeners.
