Type in Queensland IMiiseum, Reg. No. J. 3436, adult male. Type locality : 

 Canungra, South Queensland. 



This latest addition to our non-marsupial mammals is almost certainly 

 descended from early Papuan emigrants, but it has been sufficiently long in the 

 land to become specifically distinct. 



A specimen of N. papuanus from Cape York, in our collections has the 

 forearm 60 mm. in length, being slightly larger than Knud Andersen 's maximum. 

 In view of the revision in the latest monograph, Edgar R. Waite's record of 

 "Uronycteris cephalotes" (Records Austr. Mus., iv, 1912, p. 144) should 

 probably be attributed to either N. roMnsoni or papuanus.
