182 ON THE NEW-GUINEA MAMMALS, 



Bara, opposite Killerton-island in Milne-Bay, and finally 

 from Inawi on the Giuseppe-river, which runs into Hall- 

 Sound (Loria, 1890-1893). 



51. Mus Gestri Thomas. 



Collected by Loria at Kapa Kapa, on the sea-coast, 

 east from the mouth of the Kemp Welch-river, S. E. New- 

 Guinea. Mammae 10 (Ann. Mus. Genova, 1897, p. 611). 



52. Mus exulans Peale. 



I see in Trouessart's Catalogue New-Guinea exhibited 

 as one of the localities. As yet I cannot find out the Museum 

 where specimens form this locality are preserved. 



53. Mus Alhertisii Peters et Doria. 



The type-specimens have been collected by d'Albertis 

 at Sorong, West N. G. It is a mouse smaller than Mus 

 musculus; it has 8 mammae (Ann. Mus. Genova, 1881, 

 p. 702). 



54. Mus verecundus Thomas. 



Mr. Meek secured the type-specimens at Avera, Aroa- 

 river, British N. G. ; two other specimens came from 

 Diuawa, Owen Stanley Range, altitude 4000 feet, by Mr. 

 Pratt. Size about as in Mus rattus, with 6 mammae (Novit. 

 Zoolog. 1904, p. 598). 



55. Mus niobe Thomas. 



Allied to Mus verecundus^ but size decidedly less, skull 

 very similar to that of verecundus and teeth as in that 

 species. It is based upon a young adult specimen, collected 

 by Mr. Meek at Owgarra, Angabunga-river, S. E. British 

 N. Guinea (Ann. Mag. N. H. 1906, p. 327).
