rusty orange suffusion of sides, cheeks and lower tail; (2) rusty brown 
of upper head, neck, shoulders and fore-back ; (3) greater breadth and 
blackness of dark dorsal stripes and ‘corresponding diminution and 
rustiness of white stripes; (4) absence of hoary appearance of whole 
upper surface seen in Juteiventris, 
Measurements: Total length, 245 mm. ; tail vertebræ, 105; hind 
foot, 32.5. Skull: basilar length, 26.5 ; length of nasals, 10.5; inter- 
orbital constriction, 7.4; zygomatic expansion, 20; length of mandi- 
ble, 11; greatest width of mandible, 20. 
So far as I am able to examine specimens, this is the darkest repre- 
sentative of the T. quadrivittatus group. It is represented by a male 
and female, both adults and from the same locality. Their measure- 
ments show feliz to be as large as, if not larger than, any of its con- 
specific allies, 
The above newly described mammals formed part of a small collec- 
tion recently made and forwarded to me by Mr. Allen C. Brooks, 
They demonstrate emphatically the wonderful variety which character- 
izes the Zoology of the mountain regions of the Pacific Slope, even in 
northern latitudes.—S. N. Raoaps. 
Zoological News.—Mammarta—At the June meeting of the 
Linnean Society of N. S. Wales, Mr. Robert Brown read a paper on a 
new fossil Mammal allied to Hypsiprymnus, but resembling, in some 
points, the Plagiaulacidae. The remains, described under the names of 
Burramys parvus, are those of a small marsupial not larger than an ordi- 
nary mouse. The form is specially interesting in having but three true 
molars in each jaw, and a very large grooved premolar with serrate 
edge, very similar to that found in the Eocene genus Neoplagiaulax. 
Its affinities are dealt with at some length, and an endeavor made to 
trace its relationship phylogenetically. (Proceeds. Linn. Soc. N.S. W., 
1895).
