♦As it is impossible to determine whether Phillips's description of the "Nor- 

 folk Island Flying Squirrel," Voy. Bot. Bay, 1789, p. 151, pi. XVII, refers to 

 the P. sciureus or P. breviceps, the only difference between them being the size 

 of the molars, it is best to drop Kerr's name, Sciurus (Petaurus) norfolcensis as 

 undeterminable in favor of the one bestowed by Shaw, 1. c.
