Habitat. The interior of South Australia.

I think it likely that the animal I have figured as H. Mitchellii may not be the Dipus Mitchellii of Ogilby, but
that the true H. Mitchellii and my H. cervinus may be identical. If this should ultimately prove to be the case,
H. Gouldii of Gray will be the correct designation of the animal I have called H. Mitchellii, to which the terms

H. macrotis and H. Richardsoni of Gray, on the specimens in the British Museum, will also probably be referable.

122. Hapalotis arboricola, MacLeay.

This is another of the Australian mammals of which I have not had an opportunity of examining specimens.

Two coloured sketches, accompanied by the following notes, were kindly transmitted to me by Mr. Gerard
Krefft :—

“The only example of this rarity which has yet been obtained has been presented to the Australian Museum
by W.S. MacLeay, Esq. It was caught at Elizabeth Bay, where it inhabits the lofty Hucalypti, and builds a nest
among the branches, with leaves and twigs, like that of a bird.”

“Fur rather harsh to the touch, and of a slate-grey next the skin,—the longer hairs, or outer coat, being
mingled ochreous and black ; sides greyish, with an admixture of ochreous yellow, which becomes darker towards
the back, and has the black hairs much longer than on any other part; outer surface of the ears clothed with very
short white hairs; throat and abdomen white; tail thinly clothed with dark-brown hairs; toes of the hind and
fore feet covered with short white hairs.”
