he mammals enumerated in the following list were collected by the Expedition 
mentioned chiefly in the northern parts of West Australia, but some few specimens 
were obtained later when the members of the Expedition visited other parts of the 
continent. These are mentioned within brackets. 
The collection belongs now to the R. Nat. Hist. Museum in Stockholm. 
16; 
Pteropus gouldi PETERS. — 3 specimens from Derby obtained resp. "/r0, '"/10 
and 18/30 1910. 
The locality mentioned appears to extend the area of distribution of this species 
very considerably to the west, as its hitherto known habitat does not appear to 
reach to the west of Daly river of the Northern Territory. 
The specimens were shot by Mr. R. SÖDERBERG during moonlight nights in a 
garden in Derby where they were feeding on the flowers of acacias and possibly on 
such of Fucalyptus. Although only about a dozen animals were present Mr. SÖDER- 
BERG perceived very plainly the strong odour which emanated from them. They 
uttered a sharp and penetrating scream. 
When the expedition camped at Fitzroy river 18—25 Dec., near the place 
where Gilgally (»Jurgary») creek joins the river mentioned, large numbers of a big 
Fruit-eating Bat, presumably of this species, were seen every night flying very high from 
some big trees near the river. They were continuously streaming in the same direc- 
tion and might be counted in thousands. 
Macroglossus lagochilus nanus MaATtscHIE. — A male specimen procured by Mr. 
R. SÖDERBERG on Sunday Island, West Australia, 26th of Jan. 1911 resembles with 
regard to measurements nearest the above quoted subspecies, but it is of course 
difficult to decide this on a single dry specimen. The fore arm is short measuring 
not even fully 37 mm. Total length of skull 24 mm.; condylobasal length 22,7; 
length of rostrum 7,7 mm.; zygomatic width 12,9 mm. 
The length of the rostrum appears to prove that it is not M. I. pygmmeus, as 
could be expected, because that race occurs in Torres Strait. 
The find of this specimen on Sunday Island is of zoogeographical interest as 
ANDERSEN has not any record from Australia of any Macroglossus, although M. lago- 
chilus with subspecies extends over »the whole of Austro—Malaya»>.
