Petaurus australis SHaw. 1 Js !/4, 1 2 '"/; 1913 Cedar Creek, Queensland. 
Both specimens are typical, but have rather short nasals when compared with THo- 
MAS” measurements (Cat. of Marsupials B. M. p. 162). 
»Has a shrill, penetrating cry, sails during the night from tree to tree» (MJö- 
BERG). It was found in open forest land. 
The Yellow-bellied Flying Phalanger does not appear to have been recorded 
from Queensland before, as even late books state its distribution to be confined to 
coast ranges of New South Wales and Victoria. 
Petaurus breviceps WATERHOUSE. 1 specimen from Cedar Creek caught in a

Dactylopsila picata THoMas. Two specimens from the rain-forest Millaa-Millaa, 
June and July 1913. 
When the first specimen was obtained, the black men told Dr. MJÖBERG that it 
was the only specimen of its kind observed there for a long time. Dr. MJÖBERG Wwrites 
about it in his diary: »Caecum small, the ventricle filled with half digested remains of 
larve of Lepidoptera and Diptera etc. The animal scratches out such larv&e from 
cracks in the wood by means of its fourth elongated finger. 
It makes a nest of dry leaves in hollow trees. It hunts with great eagernes 
for the nests of the small stingless bees of the genus Trigona, partly for the sake 
of the insects themselves, and partly for the sake of the honey.» 
Trichosurus vulpecula KERR. One specimen from Colosseum ””/u 1913. 
Trichosurus vulpecula eburacensis n. subsp. A smaller, lighter and less furry 
race than the common Phalanger. The general colour of the upper parts is clear 
grey, produced by the otherwise whitish hair being overlaid with the fine black tips 
of the longest hairs. The underfur is in one of the two adult specimens very bright, 
something between »yellowish salmon» and »cinnamon>»> (DAUTHENAY, Rép. de Coul. 
resp. 65, 323) in the other it is duller, dark grey or smoke grey. The lower parts 
are resp. buffish, and yellowish white. Lower parts of fore-legs and fore as well as 
hind feet resp. pale buffish and dirty whitish. The proximal portion of the tail 
(about a third in one, about half in the other) is somewhat darker than the back, 
the outer remaining portion is black. The average length of the fur on the back 
(not counting the scattered longest hairs) is about 15—16 mm. On the tail as well 
the fur is shorter than in the common Phalanger.
