Osphranter? Isabellinus, Gould in Proc. Zool. Soc. part ix. p. 81.

General colour bright fulvous or sandy red; fur rather short, and soft to the touch; hairs uniform in tint to the base; throat and under parts of the body white, faintly tinted with yellowish in parts; fur of the belly long and very soft; the white or whitish colouring of the under parts and the uniform fulvous colouring of the upper surface and sides of the body do not blend gradually; tail similar in colour to the upper surface, but rather paler and uniform; hair of the fore feet and toes brown in front, yellowish on the sides.

The above description was taken from an imperfect skin procured at Barrow Island, on the north-west coast of Australia, and transmitted to me by Captain Stokes of H. M. S. "Beagle," and, in my opinion, pertains to a species of which no other example has yet been sent to Europe. Under this impression I have bestowed upon it the above specific appellation.

Habitat. Barrow Island, north-west coast of Australia.
