t The specimen referred to J. Roy. Q-eogr. Soc. xlv. p. 169 (1875). No 

 exact locality is given, but although the species has not been hitherto recorded 

 from this part of New Q-uinea, there cari be no doubt it really was from Eastern 

 New Guinea that it was obtained. 



\ Two more Tree-Kangaroos have been recently described by Mr. De Vis 

 from Queensland. The first of these is referred to as D. bennettiamis, in the 

 Abstract of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales, for 

 Oct. 27, 1886 (p. v), but the full paper is not published in the " Proceedings "
