LIII. — On some Mammals from British New Guinea pre- 

 sented to the National Museum hy Mr. C. A. W. Monckton 

 icith Descriptions of other Species from the same Region. 

 By Oldfield Thomas. 



The British Maseum owes to the kindness of Mr. C. A, "W. 

 Monckton, Resident at Port Nelson, N.E. British New- 

 Guinea, a small collection of mammals obtained by hiui at 

 about 8° 30' S. lat., 148° E. long., and these prove interestino- 

 enough to deserve a li.st being published of them. In working- 

 them out I have also examined and made notes on some 

 specimens sent by Mr. W. Stalker from the Gira district, 

 further to the north-west (lat. about 8° 20' S., long. 147° 

 30' E.), and have in addition described a fine Uromys obtained 

 many years ago by Mr. C. M. Woodford in the Solomon 

 Islands, and a Dasyure from the Aroa River collected by 

 Mr. Meek. 



Unless otherwise stated, all the specimens mentioned 

 are ^Ir. M onckton's.
