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

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

 Dr. F, M. Rayner, and Mr. W. Macgillivray, of H.M.S. ' Herald,' 

 who visited that island in December 1854. 



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

 may be 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 j)eculiar 

 to the group are printed in heavy type.
