1908.] MAMMALS FROM NORTH QUEENSLAND. 793 



nortliern il/. u. apiccdis Giinth. from Cape Grafton, and the 

 southern J/, iialahattis of New South Wales and Victoria, but is 

 paler and smaller than either. 



We have named this handsome animal in honour of Sir 

 William Ingram, to whose initiative and generosity the acquisi- 

 tion of the collection is due. 



17. Macropus parryi Benn.

This series of skins indicates that P. assimilis of Ramsay* 

 should be recognised as distinct from F. penicillata Gray, with 

 which it was doubtfully united by Thomas f, who had at that 

 date no specimens of it for examination. 



20. Lagorchestes conspicillatus pallidior, subsp. nov. 



6 . 416. ?. 413, 432. 



Most nearly allied to L. c. leicharcUi Gould, but differing in 

 being much lighter in colour. The general tawny colour of the 

 upper surface of L. c. leicharcUi is represented by a light fawn- 

 colour, the difference being very evident on the sides and 

 posterior half of the back. 



CoUett has already pointed out % the existence of these light- 

 coloured Queensland speciineus, and it would appear, taking into 

 consideration the type locality of L. c. leicharcUi^, that this 

 Eastern form is deserving of subspecific rank. 



Dimensions of the type (measured in the flesh) : — 



Head and body 470 mm. ; tail 450 ; hind foot 156 ; ear 50. 



Skull — basal length 70 mm. ; zj^gomatic breadth 47-5 ; nasals, 

 length 28, greatest breadth 17, least breadth 13, constriction 

 breadth 13*4 ; palate, length 44-7, breadth outside m^ 24-2, 

 breadth inside m^ 15 ; palatal foramen 5-2 ; diastema 9 ; length 

 of upper cheek-teeth 28.
