The Committee for the publication of the results of the two New Guinea expéditions 

 had the kindness to intrust me with the study of the Mammalian collection. The Mammals 

 hâve been collected at the following localities, viz.: Manokwari (near Doré) ; Wendèsi and 

 Kwatisoré (Geelvink Bay) ; Mios Korwar or Aifondi (N. W. of Schouten Islands) ; Moaif River 

 and Mawes (Walckenaer Bay) ; Tanah Merah Bay ; Ingrâs, Tobadi, Metu Debi, Tami River and 

 Moso River, Lake of Sentani (Humboldt Bay) and Merauke River. 



In a paper on the New Guinea Mammals, in the Notes from the Leyden Muséum, 1906, 

 Vol. XXVIII, p. 161, I enumerated 127 species; since Oldfield Thomas described a new 

 Acantlioglossus, A. Bruynii Bartonii, from Mount Victoria, British New Guinea ; Crossomys 

 Moncktoni, a new genus and new species of Mice from Serigina, Brown River, N. E. British 

 New Guinea; a new Uromys, U. anak, from Ifogi, Brown River; and a new Phalanger, Ph. 

 sericeus, from Owgarra, Angabunga River (near the Aroa River), S. E. New Guinea, meanwhile 

 Foerster and Rothschild described in the "Novitates Zoologicae", 1907, Vol. XIV, p. 506, a 

 new Dendrolagus, D. Matschiei, from the Rawlinson Mountains, German New Guinea: so that 

 the above number increased with 5, therefore 132 species; however Oldfield Thomas 

 pointed out that Conilurus papuanus Ramsay = Uromys validus, which brings the number back 

 to 131 species. In the following pages I mention 21 species, among which 2 new Pogonomys, 

 so that there hâve been found up to the présent day 133 species of Mammals in New Guinea.
