smoky grey than either of the other two members of Dorco- 
psulus, its fur is much longer than that of macleayi, rather 
longer than that of vanheurnt, its nasals are less projected 
backwards, and its secator is comparatively short. I have 
named it in honour of Lord Rothschild, to whom the National 
Museum is indebted for the fine series of specimens in which 
it occurs,

This represents Prof, Foerster’s “ Pseudochirus vulpecula,” 
which he described as “eine kleiner Art aus der albertisi- 
Gruppe,” of that very different genus, the young specimen, 
R. 11, in the well-known red juvenile phase, corresponding 
so closely to his description that it might almost be his type.

Museum. Rawlinson Mts. 
Nearly allied to Pk. carmelite, but larger and with a more 
defined dorsal stripe. 
Size, as gauged by skull, distinctly larger than in carmelite, 
slightly larger than in sericeus. Fur thick, rich, longer than 
in carmelite, shorter than in sertceus. General coloration as 
in those species, the upper surface chocolate-brown, the under 
surface white, the hairs white to the roots. The dorsal colour 
is, however, rather darker than in carmelite without being of 
the glossy blackish of sertceus. A black median line perceptible 
on the fore back, not strongly defined, though more so than 
in either of the allied species. Tail with nearly half its length 
furry. 
One of the two Rawlinson Mts. specimens has a number of 
whitish hairs mixed with the brown, but the other not. 
Skull about as in earmelite, but larger ; supraorbital ridges 
well marked. 
Teeth as in carmelite, the small premolar between the 
secator and the anterior premolar present in both skulls, as 
it is in carmelite, while it is absent in our three skulls of
