111. Perameles raffrayana A. Milne Edwards. 



This species, only known by perhaps not half a dozen 

 of specimens, seems to have a very large distribution over 

 New-Guinea; the type-specimen, an adult male, from N. 

 W. N. G., Amberbaki, by Raffray, is in the Paris-Museum 

 (Ann. Sc. Natur. 1878, T. VII, Art. II, pi. VIII); au 

 other specimen from Huon-Gulf, E. N. G., by Comrie, 

 again another from Goldie's-river, S. E. N. G., by Goldie — 

 the two latter ones in the British-Museum. Head and 

 body 400 ram., tail 185 mm.; skull: basal length 77 rara., 

 greatest breadth 32 mm. (Thomas, Catalogue, 1888, p. 

 24Ü). Milne Edwards described the hairs '•'dou.v et nullement 

 spimfornies'\ meanwhile Thomas called the fur "thick and 

 closy, although hispid, slightly spinous locally, but never 

 so spinous as in the members of the o6<?su/a-group, rather 

 more as in nasutd'\
