ON THE NEW-GUINEA MAMMALS. 181 



Guadalcanal- (Woodford) and Kabahadai, New-Britain (Brown), 

 and that there were in Loria's collections 2 specimens from 

 Haveri, among the mountains behind the Astrolabe Range, 

 near Mount Wori-Wori, S. E. New-Guinea (Ann. Mus, 

 Genova, 1897, p. 611). 



48. Mus Doriae Trouessart, 



This is Mus Beccarii Peters et Doria, a name preoc- 

 cupied by Mus Beccarii Jentink. Dr. Beccari presented 

 the type, an adult female-specimen with its young, from 

 Sorong, West N. G., to the Genoa-Museum (Ann. Mus. 

 Civ. Genova,' 1880/81, p. 700). Trouessart was quite 

 right in giving the species another name, viz. Doriae 

 (Trouessart, Catalogus Mammalium, 1898/99, T. I, p. 472). 



49. Mus mordüx Thomas. 



Closely allied to Mus praetor, of which it appears to be 

 the Papuan representative. Besides the typical specimen, 

 a female, Mr. Monckton, Resident at Port-Nelson, N. E. 

 Br. N. G., has sent an imperfect skull showing similar 

 characters as the typical skull, while Mr. Stalker obtained 

 in the Conflict-islands, off the S. E. corner of N. G., an 

 example of what also appears to be the same species 

 (Ann. Mag. N. H. 1904, p. 398). 



50. Mus Browni Alston. 



According to Peters and Doria Mus echimyoides Ramsay 

 is a synonym of this species. It belongs to a group of 

 large mice, all characterized by the possession of 8 mammae 

 (Thomas, Ann. Mus. Gen. 1897, p. 612). Besides the 

 type from Duke-of- York-island, specimens have been pro- 

 cured at the Humboldt-Bay (Beccari, 1875), at Hattam 

 and at Aroma, Kapa Kapa, Irapura and Hula, all rather 

 close to the mouth of the Kemp Welch-river, from Bara
