Based upon a single young specimen, collected by Laglaize 

 on the Karons-Mountains, New-Guinea (Comptes rend. 

 Acad. Sciences, 1877, p. 1080). This animal was living 

 at an altitude of 2000 m. and orientalis lives there at 

 1000 m. altitude. 



79. Phalanger Carmelitae Thomas. 



Allied to orientalis, but the skull smaller and with 

 a differently shaped interorbital region (Oldfield Thomas, 

 Ann. Mus. Genova, 1898, p. 5). The dark colour is con- 

 stant in the three specimens collected by Loria in the 

 mountainous part of the Vanapa-river, British New-Guinea. 

 Head and body of an old male 440 mm., tail 435 mm.; 

 basal length of skull 73 mm., greatest breadth 52 mm.
