COLLECTED IN DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 317 



Dr. Jentink, in whom Mammalogy loses a hard-working and devoted follower. Since 

 1881, when I first met him, he has been to me a most helpful friend and 

 correspondent, always willing to give his valuable assistance on any question that 

 depended on specimens in Leyden, while he has himself taken very special interest 

 in the mammal fauna of New Guinea. 



Finally, I should record the very deep obligation that all naturalists are under 

 to Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant, to whose initiation, energy, and enthusiasm the two 

 British Expeditions to this most interesting region are almost wholly due. 



1. Pteropus papuanus Pet. & Doria. 

 d , 2 2 ■ Wakatimi, Mimika Kiver. 

 3 ? . Launch Camp, Setakwa Eiver. 



The Mimika specimens were examined and described by Dr. K. Andersen (Cat. 

 Chiropt. B.M. ed. 2, i., Addenda, p. 823), who considers they indicate that P. papuamos 

 should be considered as a synonym of P. neohibernicus. Detailed descriptions of the 

 colours are given, as these specimens usefully supplement the material available Avhen 

 the main part of the Catalogue was written (p. 385).

2. DoBSONiA molluccensis magna Thos. 



2 $ . Mimika R. 



It was on this material that Dr. K. Anderson (Cat. Chiropt. B.M. ed. 2, i., Addenda, 

 p. 825) decided that magna should be considered as a subspecies of moluccensis. 

 The material previously available (cf. t. c. p. 466) was quite insufficient for the 

 formation of any definite opinion. 



3. DOBSONIA MINOR Dobs. 



6 . Parimau, Mimika R. 



This species had not previously been represented in the Museum collection, the type 

 being in the Paris Museum. 



Described by K. Andersen {t. c. p. 824).
