MAMMALS 



COLLECTED BY THE DUTCH NEW GUINEA EXPEDITION I907. 



BY 



Dr. F. A. JENTINK. 



October 190S. 



With plate I. 



The Committee for the publication of the results of this expédition to Dutch South 

 New Guinea kindly asked me to work out the Mammals. Although the collection is a small 

 one it however contains besides some new forms several very rare spécimens only known 

 from the types, so that Dr. H. A. LoRENTZ, the able leader of the expédition, may be 

 congratulated with thèse results. 



The collection embraces 16 species, of which 4 are new to science. Since the publi- 

 cation of my paper "on the Mammals collected by the members of the Humboldt Bay and 

 the Merauke expéditions, Nov. 1907" '), Oldfield Thomas (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 1908, 

 p. 122) described a new form of Dactylopsila, D. melampus, from South-Eastern British New 

 Guinea, Mambare River, Kokoda and Tamata; so that with my hereafter to describe 4 new 

 species and a Nyctinomus jobensis, described by Miller from Japen [Jobi] Island (Proc. Biol. 

 Soc. of Washington, 1902, p. 247), there now are known 139 Mammals from New Guinea.
