SYSTEMATICAL LIST OF ANIMALS COLLECTED DURING THE SEVERAL EXPEDITIONS,
AND DEPOSITED IN THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM AT SYDNEY.
MAMMALS.
1. Rhinolophus megaphyllus. Gray.
2. Petaurus leucogaster. Mitch. (New Species.) From the banks of the
Murray.

forest near the Murray.
5. Myrmecobius ? rufus. Mitch. (New Species.)*
