ON THE NEW-GUINEA MAMMALS. 185 



labe Range, S. E. N. G. — Mr. Stalker obtained a number 

 of specimens referable to this species (Ann. Mag. N. H. 

 1904, p. 202). General characters very much as in U. 

 Brvynii, but distinguished by its long narrow feet, which 

 are quite different from the broad climbing feet of its ally; 

 it is no doubt much less arboreal in its habits. Head and 

 body 147— 152 mm., tail 131 — 141 mm., hind-foot 36— 37 

 mm. (Ann. Mus. Genova, 1897, p. 617). 



62. Uromys Moncktoni Thomas. 



This species is no doubt closely allied to uromys levi- 

 pesy but is distinguishable by its buffy instead of clear 

 greyish belly, and by the unusual number and length of 

 the hairs on the tail ; skull very much as in levipes. The 

 type-specimens have been collected by Monckton, Resident 

 at Port-Nelson, N. E. British New-Guinea. Head and body 

 16 cm., tail 12.7 cm. (Ann. Mus. Gen. 1897, p. 399). 



63. Uromys platyops Thomas. 



A medium-sized species, with a low flat skull; head 

 and body about 144 mm., tail 116 mm.; this species is 

 allied to U. levipes and U. Moncktoni; from the first it 

 differs by its much shorter hind feet, from the latter by 

 its clear greyish belly and naked tail, from both by its 

 unusually low skull. Two specimens collected by Meek at 

 the head of Aroa-river, S. E. British New-Guinea (Ann. 

 Mag. N. H. 1906, p. 328). 



64. Uromys Stalkeri Thomas. 



A member of the uromys Bruynii-grou-p ; it is distinguish- 

 able from its allies by its proportionally large brain-case 

 and small muzzle; the narrow area of pure white along 

 its under-surface is also characteristic. Head and body
