* This was called the " red shrew mouse" by the men composing- the 

 party, but as no species of the Insectivora of Zoologists has hitherto been 

 discovered in Austrcilia, it more probably belongs to the genus Myrmccobiii!*, 

 recently described by Mr. Waterhouse. I venture to name this animal with 

 considerable hesitation, having neglected to take a note of the generic clia- 

 racters, while the specimen was yet within my reach. If it be a true Sorex, its 

 discovery will be as interesting to Zoologists as that of the Dipus, neither genus 

 having been hitherto suspected to exist in Australia.
