On a Collection of Mammals from Central and Northern Queensland. 349 



The teeth are constructed almost exactly like thosc of 31. schrei- 

 hersii (see Dobson's description Cat. Chir. p. 349). The innermost 

 molar, however, in the upper jaw, appears to be comparatively larger, 

 as its inner margin lies exactly in a line with the inner margin of the 

 other molars, whilst in a specimen before me of M. schreibersii (from 

 Japan) this tooth is narrower than the others. 



In the lower jaw, the incisors evenly increase in thickness inwards, 

 so that i ^ is considerably smaller than i ^.

A. Coomooboolaroo, Nov. 1883 (skin with skull). 



The colour is a pale greyish brown, with the tips of the hairs 

 but slightly lighter. The lower surface is lighter than the upper. 



Length of cubitus 46 mm 



Length of tibia 20 „ 



The dentition is normal:

The lower ^ '^ is rudimentary, but not placed quite in the tooth 

 row (as in Dobson's specimens), but on the outer side between p ^ 

 and p •'*, which almost touch each other.
