NOTES ON THE FAUNA OF THE BELLENDEN-KER 
RANGES. 
By Dr. E. P. Ramsay, F.R.S.E., &c. 
lu January last Messrs. Cairn and Grant collecting for the 
Au.stralian Museum, returned from a trip to the table lands of the 
Bellenden-Ker Ranges of Queensland, blunging with them an 
intere.sting collection of Mammals and Birds; among the former 
class I find two new species in addition to those already known 
from that district. The following is a list of the Mammals 
inhabiting the Brushes on the slopes and tableland of the range 
of mountains known as Bellenden Ker, of which the Museum has 
obtained specimens ; — 
Homo sapiens, var. australis. 
2 Crania, 
1 Adult female mummy, dried, 
PLEOPODID.E, Owen. 
Hypsiprymnodon (Fleopns) moschatus, Ramsay. 
P.L.S. N.S.W. Vol. I. p. 33. 
This remarkable form of the Marsupialia, for which Sir Richard 
Owen has formed the family Pleopodidee (full-footed Macropodida ), 
is the only oneyet recorded of the J/acropit.s' section in which five toes 
are found. It would jierhaps be better to consider it as a sub- 
family of Macropodidie under the name of Pleopodime, and holding 
equal rank with the Macropodino-. The dentition is purely 
Macropodxi.s and is almost identical with that of Bettongia and 
Hypsiprymnus,
