 The late Mr. Kreft, in his Fauna of Tasmania, mentions a rat 

 under the name of " Tasmaniensis," but without any description, 

 we cannot therefore decide as to the species intended. ' 



t There has been lately received from Mr. R. Helms, of Grey- 

 mouth, New Zealand, a specimen of the " Native Rat," which he 

 purposes calling " Mus Novoe Zealandiie," but which, on examina- 

 tion, proves to be identical with the " griseo-coeruleus," described 

 by us in the " Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania for 

 1882." 



I H. penicillatus, included by the late Mr. Ronald Gunn in the 

 list of Tasmanian animals, is a native of Port Essington. H. 

 leucopus, described by us in the " Proceedings of the Royal 

 Society for 1882," has probably been mistaken for it.
