Cuscuses seem to be common on all the islands of both the Duke 

 of York and Solomon groups, and extend in the latter to San Chris- 

 toval, whence several specimens were sent to the British Museum by 

 Dr. F. M. Kayner, and Mr. W. Macgiilivray, of H.M.S. ' Herald,' 

 who visited that island in December 1854. 



The following table gives a complete list with localities so far as 

 is known of all the land mammals of the Solomon Islands, and 

 maybe usefully compared with that given previously (P. Z. S. 1887, 

 p. 327) in connection with the further range of these mammals into 

 the Duke of York group of islands. The names of those peculiar 

 to the group are printed in heavy type.
