 the Arfak-Mountains; M. A. Milne Edwards described it 

 as belonging to a new species and called it caudata., it having 

 a tail much longer than head and body (Comptes Rend.

 tail 144 mm.; skull: basal length 24.4 mm., greatest 

 breadth 18 mm.

 Guinea. Head and body 100 mm., tail 123 mm.; skull: 

 basal length 24.5 mm., greatest breadth 18 mm. (Thomas,

 melink's N. G. collections, mentioned by Thomas in his 



JSotes from the X^eyden IMuseum, Vol. XXVIII.
