192 ON THE NEW-GUINEA. MAMMALS. 



lost some of its teeth, as they all possess the full num- 

 ber of three premolars but they, as in the type, are of 

 excessively small size (Ann. Mus. öenova, 1897, p. 620). 



83. Pseudochirus Corinnae Thomas. 



In spite of its superficial resemblance to Ps. Albertisii 

 this species may be readily recognized by the absence of 

 the marginal bristles to the ears, by its uniform dull 

 fulvous belly and by its narrower nasals and smaller bullae 

 (ThomaSjAnn. Mus. Genova, 1897, p. 143). The name Corin- 

 nae has been given after Loria's sister Corinna ; Loria 

 discovered two males in the Mountains of Vanapa, 

 British New-Guinea. Head and body 310 mm., tail 320 

 mm.; skull, basal length 63.5 mm., greatest breadth 41 mm. 



84. Pseudochirus Albertisii Peters. 



The type-specimen is from d'Albertis' collections, pro- 

 cured at Hattam, Arfuk-Mountains, N. W. New-Guinea (Ann. 

 Mus. Genova, 1874, p. 303); specimens from the same loca- 

 lity by Beccari and Bruyn and in the Leyden-Museum. Allied 

 to canescens and Bernsteinii. Head and body 34 cm., 

 tail 31 cm. (Peters and Doria, 1880, p. 674); skull, basal 

 length 60 mm., greatest breadth 39 mm. (Thomas, Cata- 

 logue, 1888, p. 185). — What is Fh. grisescens (Peters, 

 Ann. Mus. Geuova, 1874, p. 303)? Perhaps a transla- 

 tion of Phalanger grisonnant ? 



85. Pseudochirus Albertisii coronatus Thomas. 



The type-specimen is a young, collected by Mr. Burke 

 in the Arfak-Mountains, N. W. New-Guinea; it has the 

 fur of the body enormously lengthened (to 35 mm. long). 

 Head and body 250 mm., tail 220 mm.; skull, basal 

 length 48.5 mm., greatest breadth 32.2 mm. The British-
