ON THE NEW-GUINEA MAMMALS. 209 



I omitted in this review on purpose a small number of 

 mammals mentioned by some authors, on the following 

 grounds : Mus decumanus and Mus rattus are cosmopoli- 

 tans, they generally are brought over by way of vessels, 

 so to New-Guinea too ; Sirenia and Cetacea have nothing 

 to do with the land-fauna, moreover round New-Guinea 

 there are no peculiar forms known. Some authors enumerated 

 Paradoxurus hermaphroditus among the New-Guinea mam- 

 mals; I know no specimen from that island and previously 

 am incredulous; perhaps specimens may have been introduced 

 by men, although not very likely.
