Described Ann. & Mag. N. H. (8) viii. p. 378 (1911). 



Most nearly allied to T. saccolaimus, but readily recognizable by its smaller size, 

 diiferent colour, shorter and broader skull, and by other detailed cranial characters. 



Named in honour of Mr. W. E. Ogilvie-Grant, to whom the initiation and carrying 

 out of the New Guinea Expeditions were mainly due.

A palate, with the molars, taken from a native ornament, Utakwa. 6000'. 



Jentink had already recorded the presence of Mallomys, as oi Anisomys, from this 

 region, the occurrence of both being known by jaws obtained from the natives. 



The molars of this specimen are quite like those of M. rothschildi, and equally 

 differ from the recently described M. hercules of the Eawlinson Mountains, German 

 New Guinea.

This is evidently a most common species in the Snow Mountain region, as it was also 

 obtained in large numbers by Lorentz;, whose specimens were identified as Mus terrw- 

 regince by Jentink. It is, however, certainly not that species, which has a considerably 

 shorter tooth-row. 



In addition to the series determined as terrce-regince, Jentink described a single 

 young specimen as a distinct species under the name of ratticolor, but I fail to see
