LIII. — On some Mammals from British N^eio Guinea pre- 

 sented to the National Museum by Mr, G. A. W. Monckton, 

 icith Descriptions of other Species from the same Begion. 

 Bj Oldfield Thomas. 



The British Museum owes to the kindness of Mr. C. A. W. 

 Monckton, Eesident at Port Nelson, N.E. British New 

 Guinea, a small collection of mammals obtained by him at 

 about 8° 30' S. lat., 1-18° E. long-., and these prove interesting 

 enough to deserve a list 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. 1J:7° 

 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 Mr. M oncktou^s.
