ON THE NEW-GUINEA MAMMALS. 177 



31. Miniopterus Schreibersii Natterer. 



There seems to be iu the British-Museum a specimen of this 

 so widely distributed species from New-Guinea; Dobson 

 mentioned it in his Catalogue, p. 350; as it belongs to 

 Turner's collection it very likely originated from Port- 

 Moresby, S. E. N. G, 



32. Emhallonura Beccarii Peters et Doria. 



Beccari collected two male-specimens at Ansus, in the 

 island of Jobi, Geelvink-Bay, the types of the species 

 (Ann. Mus Genova, 1881, p. 693). No other specimens 

 have been recorded, as far as I am aware. ^ 



33. Mosia nigrescens ' Gray . 



It has been found on several islands east and west from 

 New-Guinea, so that it was very likely that it too inha- 

 bits this island. Mr. Stalker collected a male and a female 

 at the Gira-river, British N. G. (Ann, Mag. Nat. Hist. 

 1904, p. 398); Thomas examined two specimens from N. 

 G. (Ann. Mag. N. H. 1904, p. 201). 



34. Taphozous australis Gould. 



I see in Dobson's Catalogue, p. 382, that there is in the 

 British-Museum an adult male presented by Mrs. Stanley 

 as originating from New-Guinea, without further reference 

 as to the exact locality. It has not been recorded from 

 that island by later authors, as far as I could point out. 



35. Nyctinomus plicatus Buchanan-Hamilton. 



I see in Ann. Mus. Genova, 1881, p. 695, that Peters 

 and Doria exhibited this species from the island Jobi, 

 Geelvink-Bay, by Beccari, as being the first example of a 

 Molossin^jpecies iu New-Guinea.
