03DD87C8FFAC732018C1FDF4FA8095FC.taxon	discussion	Comments. Mahoney (1988) cites this specimen as the holotype. In the original account, Krefft states that this taxon was discovered by J. A. Thorpe. A receipt dated 16 February 1869 in theAMArchives (AMS 7 Letters Received, C: 10.69.20) indicates that Thorpe received payment for “ 11 animals from Cape York ”. A subsequent annotation in 1910, evidently done during preparation of the X Register, determined that PA. 389 was one of those specimens. PA. 389 was not marked as a type by Palmer in the P Register.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFAE732F18EBFA6FFE389301.taxon	discussion	Comments. Krefft (1872 d) explicitly states that “ The description of this … species is based on two skulls obtained by Mr Masters ” and that “ Both skulls are those of young animals, being about 7 1 / 2 inches long ” (given as 6 5 / 8 " in his original account). These were among a total of “ about twenty six skulls ” obtained by Masters and both specimens were “ in possession of the Trustees of this Museum ” (Krefft, 1868 a). The AM annual report for 1868 indicates that 25 Thylacine specimens were collected by Masters between December 1866 and March 1867 (Krefft, 1868 b); all of which are listed as Thylacinus cynocephalus with no further details. Ride (1964) lists 774 as being Krefft’s original material but Krefft’s second skull has remained unidentified (Mahoney & Ride, 1988 a). In his original account, Krefft states that he had sent photographs of both specimens of breviceps and location of these images, if they still exist, might resolve the identity of his second syntype. We are confident that cranium PA. 774 is one of Krefft’s original specimens. The skull illustrations accompanying the original description, drawn from photographs sent by Krefft to London, show features that are consistent with the skull of PA. 774, viz., two indentations on the upper left rear cranial vault (evidently from gun pellet impacts) and the shape of the left side of the paroccipital process. The dentaries associated with PA. 774 seem to be a good match and the last molars are at an equivalent stage of eruption to those figured in Krefft’s original account. The remaining syntype is equally likely to be either PA. 774 or M. 8331, the difficulty being that it is not known how many specimens were assigned by Krefft to breviceps at the time of his eviction in September 1874, or if further specimens were labelled “ breviceps ” by subsequent workers. We have not established the sex of PA. 778. This might be established by comparison with measurements of subadults of known sex. Dentaries could have been mismatched with crania in the past. However, both mandibles PA. 778 and M. 8331 are too short to match cranium PA. 774 and the lower forth molars of both specimens are also at an earlier stage of eruption than that depicted in Krefft’s account. bar (Photography by Stuart Humphreys); (c) 19 th century writing on right dentary (Photography by HEP). We have not identified who wrote breviceps on M. 8331 in ink in old style writing, nor for “ breviceps ” written in pencil on crania PA. 774 and PA. 778 but the latter two appears to be written by one person. Holes drilled through the condyles of M. 8331 suggest that a skull did exist, but there are currently no subadult Thylacine skulls without dentaries in the AM Collection that match M. 8331. We have not checked the Macleay Museum, which houses several Thylacine skulls obtained by Masters, for a possible match. It is most likely that Krefft’s syntypes comprised cranial material only, without skins. In his original description, Krefft (1868 a: 297) states that Masters had collected “ about 26 skulls, two of which … belong to breviceps ” and later (Krefft, 1871 a) states “ this species has been founded on two skulls obtained by Mr Masters from the Ouse River. ”, which he repeated in a newspaper account (Krefft, 1872 d). Krefft maintained confidence in the validity of breviceps for some time after publication of his description in 1868 (e. g., Krefft, 1872 d), and stated that his proposed diagnostic criteria for breviceps held when comparisons were made with immature skulls of cynocephalus (Krefft, 1871 a) but he did not specifically address the issue of sexual size dimorphism. He also claimed that he had support for his view that breviceps was a valid species from prominent anatomist Richard Owen (Krefft, 1871 a).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFA2732918DAFBE8FE3094B0.taxon	discussion	Comments. We have not found any reference to this taxon in the taxonomic literature and Figs 5 – 6 appear to be the first published illustrations of what we consider is likely to be Krefft’s original material and recognized here as syntypes. Although evidently either overlooked or ignored in the past, it appears to be an available name and we treat this taxon as an overlooked junior synonym of stuartii. Krefft (1872 b) named this taxon after Mr W. Allan of Kimbriki, who evidently provided the specimen (s) but Krefft does not indicate the number of specimens examined. Krefft states that allanii “ … may be distinguished by its larger size, soft fur and rather longer tail ” but noted that he had not had the opportunity to examine skull or dental criteria which he considered more useful in species diagnosis. Krefft diagnosed allanii in relation to the species arrangement recognized by Gould (1863 b), in which stuartii was considered conspecific with flavipes. We provisionally assign this taxon to A. stuartii but its taxonomic status needs to be assessed in light of the considerable morphological variation in NSW populations of A. stuartii and A. agilis noted by Crowther (2002). A taxonomic revision of A. stuartii is underway by a team led by Andrew Baker (Andrew Baker pers. comm. July 2016). Syntype skull PA. 658 is not fully adult as reflected by the unfused basioccipital – basisphenoid suture. Skull dimensions of this specimen fall in a zone of overlap for the key diagnostic measurements cited by Crowther (2002) for separating adult male A. agilis from A. stuartii. Measurements taken as per Crowther (2002) are: condylobasal length (from anterior of I 1 to anterior margin of foramen magnum), c. 25.5 mm; Zygomatic breadth, 15.95 mm; Snout breadth at canines, 4.75 mm and Snout – canine depth, 4.8 mm.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFA573291B99FF7CFB0F9265.taxon	discussion	Comments. Neotype designated by Wakefield & Warneke (1967), who state that Macleay’s original material cannot be located. However, Macleay (1841) states that the only specimen was lost and that his description was based solely on the notes and drawings of Surgeon Stuart. Macleay (1842) corrected his earlier description of the dental formula and determined that the species was a marsupial, not an Insectivore as earlier thought, based on his examination of a skeleton subsequently obtained and prepared by Stuart; he did not indicate whether this specimen included a skin, although we assume that it did not. A skin and skull (with no indication of a skeleton) currently in the collection (PA. 602) was originally entered by Palmer as “ Antechinus stuartii, North Shore ” and indicated as a gallery mount, though with no details of donor or collector. A subsequent amendment to this entry states “ flavipes, type of stuarti ”; the author of this entry is unknown but it likely occurred during Troughton’s employment or earlier. The unpublished list of Troughton (1956) lists this specimen as the “ holotype ” of stuartii but this allocation is refuted by Macleay’s original account that denied the existence of a voucher specimen. The type status of PA. 602 remains unsubstantiated. We are not aware of any published statement by Troughton that would constitute neotype designation of this specimen.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Krefft established Chaetocercus for his new species and the cranial and dental criteria used in his generic diagnosis imply that he examined a reasonably intact skull. In his original account, Krefft does not indicate the number of specimens examined, but he later categorically states that it was one specimen (Krefft, 1876). PA. 669 ½ was registered in the Palmer Register in c. 1878, with the comment that the mounted specimen is “ greatly mutilated ” but there is no mention of a skull. Krefft’s original skull was clearly not available to Spencer (1896 b), who borrowed the holotype skin mount and had to draw on Krefft’s statements for information on dental structure. Spencer expressed great difficulty deciding if his material was the same species named by Krefft, no doubt due both to the poor condition of the skin mount, and the fact that his material also included examples of D. blythi (Waite, 1904), see Woolley, 2005 b. Mahoney & Ride (1988 b) cite M. 11342 skin mount as the holotype but do not mention a skull. We are unable to either validate, or refute the association of the skull with the holotype skin. Although Krefft provided descriptions of the skull and dentition in his original and subsequent accounts, he did not publish illustrations or cranial and dental measurements. It seems likely that the putative type skull was located during collection inventories undertaken by Troughton, probably sometime after 1937, the year Tate visited the AM (Troughton, 1937 a: 125), but we have not yet found any documentation on this issue. The specimen index card for PA. 669 ½ (written after c. 1900), written in handwriting that seems to predate Troughton, indicates a skin mount but lists “ Skull:? ”, indicating that the skull had not been located. This is reflected by Tate (1940), who lists a skin and “ Skull? ” and does not provide further information on the holotype skull (Tate, 1947). Woolley (2005 b) concluded that she had no reason to doubt the authenticity of the holotype skull, which she considered to be a good match against Krefft’s description. Dr Pat Woolley has drawn our attention to three letters on the dorsal surface of the holotype skull, written in old ink, that she interprets as “ ch c. ” — perhaps an abbreviation for Chaetocercus cristicauda, which is written on an old label in the skull box. Another interpretation is that the letters are “ ch ae. ” and we also note that there is another symbol, possibly “ P ” (see Fig. 8). Krefft erected Chaetocercus in 1867, but Peters (1875) proposed the replacement name Dasycercus (see Jackson & Groves 2015: 51). Initially this was not adopted by Australian zoologists (including Spencer) who applied Phascogale to this species for several decades following the arrangement of Thomas (1888 a). Attempts to extract DNA from the holotype skin have not been successful to date.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Dixon (1970) designated a male in alcohol (specimen “ a ” of Spencer) as lectotype, and discussed the whereabouts of the seven original specimens listed “ a – g ” by Spencer. Dixon lists specimens b and c, and what she suspected to be specimen “ g ” in the collections of MV and notes that the whereabouts of remaining specimens are unknown, but that some are possibly in the AM. Given that “ b ” is the only female syntype, and assuming that Spencer correctly reported its sex, then AM. 1141 must have been sent to Spencer after completion of the manuscript of the Horn report and therefore is not part of the type series. All specimens sent to Spencer before 1897 from his collectors were obtained by P. M. Byrne from Charlotte Waters, which included shipments of “ males and females ” in October 1895 and two specimens in July 1896 (Calaby, 1996). It is not clear if M. 1140 is a paralectotype, or was sent after Spencer finished amending the proofs to the Horn Report, which Calaby states he received in September 1895. Some of Spencer’s letters to the AM have not survived, and there is no correspondence entered against M. 1140 – 41 in the M Register. In a letter dated 5 September 1895 to the AM (AM Archives AMS 9 Letters Received, S: 65 / 1895), Spencer states that he hopes to send specimens of Dasyuroides byrnei “ next week ”.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

No other specimens of this taxon were found in the M Register from north Qld. The collection date of the putative holotype is not recorded in the register, but Ramsay states that it was obtained during “ January last ”, which from the publication date of his paper, suggests January 1888, which is also the date written on the old type specimen index card. Tate (1951 a) examined the holotype skull, which appears to have been extracted in the 1940 s, and reported its subadult status. He mistakenly cited the specimen as M. 1551.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Although authorship attribution to Le Souef and Burrell is entrenched in the literature, in the original description it is clearly attributed to Le Souef alone, and is called “ Burrell’s Phascogale ”. A single specimen is mentioned by registration number in the original account and we have not found any indication from the M Register that further specimens were involved. Iredale & Troughton (1934) note “ ex Le Souef MS ” — presumably Le Souef had prepared a more detailed account in an unpublished manuscript. Troughton (1941, and subsequent editions) doubted the validity of this taxon and he stated that it was “ described as having a smaller body, comparatively larger feet, and slightly crested tail. These characters were possibly due to a period of captivity; so the race may be disregarded until wild specimens are found with similar characters. ” This taxon was confused with A. flavipes but Wakefield & Warneke (1967) placed it with A. stuartii, sensu lato. Dickman et al. (1998), in describing A. agilis, placed burrelli with A. stuartii, sensu stricto. Skull measurements of the holotype of burrelli are given by Dickman et al.

03DD87C8FF98731418ACFD66FAA994F4.taxon	discussion	Comments. Correspondence from Spencer dated 5 Sept 1895 (AM Archives AMS 9, Letters Received, S: 65 / 1895) clearly indicates that one male macdonnellensis was sent to the AM; it was registered as M. 1004 but without further data. There was no indication that it was a type although Spencer used the term “ type ” in other correspondence. Spencer (1895 a) did not indicate the number of specimens examined but more than one is implied by the statement that “ the first specimen was found by Mounted Trooper South … ”. As noted by Calaby (1996), Spencer (1895 b), published in January, states that he had three specimens for his description, a male and two females. Dixon (1970) listed C 7804 (a female) as a syntype, noting an attached label marked “ type ”, apparently Spencer’s original tag. She incorrectly cites Trooper South as the collector — he obtained a male specimen. Dixon states that the only other specimen listed in the MV register is a male; presumably she had reason to doubt the type status of this specimen. We are unable to determine whether either M. 1004 or the MV male cited by Dixon (1970) is the syntype male. While it is possible that M. 1004 (assuming that it is male) is the missing male syntype, it might be one of a series of specimens obtained after Spencer prepared the initial description. In his report on the Horn Expedition, Spencer (1896 a) indicated that he had acquired 13 specimens by that time and M. 1004 could have been one of these. Calaby (1996) provided insights into specimens sent to Spencer by collectors after the Horn Expedition. In a letter to Spencer dated 29 July 1895, F. J. Gillen, one of Spencer’s collectors, indicates that he was about to ship seven or eight specimens of this species to Spencer. The AM specimen could have been one of these, given that Spencer sent it to the AM in September 1895 and the fact that other shipments to Spencer were prior to November 1895 (Calaby, 1996). Mahoney & Ride (1988 b) cited MV C 7804 as the holotype, presumably because the ambiguity of Spencer’s original account could allow an interpretation that it was based on one specimen. We do not recognize the inference of a holotype by Mahoney & Ride (1988 b) as constituting lectotype designation because, prior to their work, there was no agreement that the species had been based on a single specimen. To the contrary, Dixon (1970) had assumed the existence of a syntype series (see Article 74.6, the Code).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Although subspecies of P. ingrami, including brunnea, were recognized by most authors in the past (see Jackson & Groves, 2015), recent authors suspect that described forms possibly represent clinal variation (e. g., Fisher, 2008; Baker, 2015; Jackson & Groves, 2015).

03DD87C8FF9B731718DFFC68FDC99099.taxon	discussion	Comments. Archer (1976: 356) noted that Troughton mistakenly gave the holotype and paratype registration as M. 3856 and M. 3857, respectively, in his original description, a mistake that was repeated subsequently (e. g., Tate, 1947). It is likely that Troughton’s citation of the incorrect registration numbers was simply an error. M. 3856 and M. 3857 were both registered as Pteropus poliocephalus in January 1927 without amendment. An undated note written in Troughton’s hand in the register after M. 3855 states “ Special note — Two specimens of Planigale tenuirostris said to be registered M. 3856 – 57 (in Rec. Aust.

03DD87C8FF9B73161B49FB97FDD1968B.taxon	discussion	Comments. Description based on the holotype only. Troughton’s granulipes is based on a specimen that we believe to be the holotype of Podabrus albocaudatus Krefft, 1872 c. Troughton’s name is therefore a junior objective synonym and it was designated a nomen protectum by Parnaby et al. (2015). In his original account Troughton noted the following entry in the Palmer Register: “ In the handwriting of the original entry is written a specific name which indicated that it was regarded as new … ”. This entry includes the name Podabrus albocaudatus (see account for that taxon above) which was validly published by Krefft (1872 c). Troughton was probably not aware of the newspaper account of Krefft (1872 c) or if he was, might not have considered it to be validly published.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF9A731618F5FE33FC3F97D6.taxon	discussion	Comments. Troughton (1965 a) considered M. 1142 to be an example of S. larapinta, but he does not indicate whether he considered it to be one of the specimens used in Spencer’s description. Troughton stated that he had examined “ four spirit specimens of the original Spencer series from Charlotte Waters ” in the MV and refers to the “ holotype ” without citing a registration number. Spencer (1896 a) described larapinta from three males in alc. which he designated A, B, and C. All were collected by P. M. Byrne from Charlotte Waters. Dixon (1970) designated specimen A as lectotype and stated that the remaining two male paralectotypes had not been located. The two AM specimens were registered in October 1896 following receipt of a batch of material from Spencer, though without cross references to relevant surviving correspondence (some of Spencer’s correspondence to the AM was destroyed in c. 1900). Although M. 1142 and M. 1143 could be the missing paralectotypes mentioned by Dixon (1970), it is also possible that they were among the unknown number of specimens sent to Spencer by his collectors at various times after the Horn Expedition, after he had completed the manuscript of the Horn report. For example, Byrne, who collected the original three males, also sent specimens including a female, to Spencer in October 1895 (Calaby, 1996). Spencer received the manuscript proofs of the Horn Report in September 1895 (Calaby, 1996) and the report was published in February 1896. Specimen M. 1143 has not been sighted in the collection during the past few decades and is not mentioned by Troughton (1965 a).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF9A73161B60FEA3FB749246.taxon	discussion	Comments. Named from the holotype, still the only known specimen. Archer (1981) regarded monticola to more closely resemble inland macroura froggatti than the coastal nominate form. He doubted the authenticity of the locality data, based on a belief the habitat at Lawson was wet scleropyll forest and therefore out of character with habitat of other forms of S. macroura. Although this record is distant from other records of S. macroura, sensu lato and no further specimens had been reported from the area, dry forest types do occur in the Lawson area and the record should not be dismissed lightly. Magistrate E. H. Palmer had a residence at Lawson, and he donated specimens to the AM over many years. Specimen labelling error cannot be refuted but there is no indication from the register entry that would arouse suspicion about the reliability of the locality data. The taxonomic status of this taxon warrants re-evaluation given that Blacket et al. (2001) demonstrated multiple, highly distinct lineages within what is currently assigned to S. macroura.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF9E731C1B68FA50FDE49533.taxon	discussion	Comments. Ramsay states that “ the animal examined was full grown, but young ”. Although a single specimen is implied, it is not possible to determine from the original description if he examined other specimens, perhaps belonging to other collectors, but omitted the collector’s name in the original account, and in the M Register. The dentition of M. 2554 is inconsistent with Ramsay’s description in that the third lower premolar appears to be smaller, not larger, than the lower canine. Dental and external measurements of M. 2554 broadly concur with those given by Ramsay, taking into account the uncertainty of how some measurements were made and whether or not skin measurements were taken before the specimen was prepared as a mount. However, our impression is that M. 2554 is a larger animal than that measured by Ramsay, e. g., hind foot length taken from nail to heel is c. 3 inches (vs 2.5). We have not yet been able to trace the provenance of this specimen prior to its registration in 1915. However, Thomas (1888 a: 235) stated that the type was in the “ Sydney Museum ” (as opposed to the Macleay Museum). Although included in his paper on mammals of the 1875 Chevert Expedition (Ramsay, 1877 a), material of this taxon was most likely obtained soon after the Expedition. Macleay (1875) states that several members of the Chevert crew had left the Expedition which ended at Yule Island, with the aim of collecting in the Port Moresby district.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Type series is an “ adult pair and young female from Rawlinna ” for which Troughton cites registration numbers for the holotype and allotype but not for the young female.

03DD87C8FF90731C18BEFD9EFE7990F1.taxon	discussion	Comments. Ramsay did not indicate the number of specimens examined. The taxidermist’s department lists preparation of “ 1 Perameles cockerelli sp nov ” as a mount, in the AM annual report for 1876 (Ramsay, 1877 h). We regard PA. 471 to be a syntype and not a holotype because Ramsay appears to have based his description on more than one specimen. Ramsay’s account of the species, (which was based on external characters only), includes body measurements for two individuals but it is not clear whether both specimens were in the AM at that time or whether he was using measurements from another specimen, perhaps in the possession of Cockerell or George Brown. Whittell (1954: 155) states that all of Brown’s collection was sent to London, and that only Cockerell’s collection remained in Sydney. However, a few of Brown’s specimens (without data) were recently found in private hands in Sydney (I. McAllen, pers. comm. 2016). Ramsay (1877 i) provided further brief notes on colouration and notes on dentition that would have been visible from a skin mount. Miklouho-Maclay (1884) illustrated the head of a specimen of cockerelli and implied (1884: 719) that there was only one specimen, a skin mount, in theAM Collection. His drawing is consistent with the head of the skin mount of PA. 471.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF93731E18F8FF7CFB249785.taxon	discussion	Comments. In his original account, Troughton (1932 b) states that the holotype came from Bathurst. A detailed historical review of locality data of all bilby specimens in the collection in progress by Dr Mike Fleming has revealed that the holotype definitely came from the Peak Hill district, considerably inland from Bathurst. His investigations could result in a revision of locality data for some of the specimens listed as paratypes here. Troughton gave registration numbers of the holotype and allotype but does not refer to paratypes in his original account. Troughton (1932 b: 220) states that he had a series from NSW totaling “ 9 skins and sixteen crania for examination ” and our tally matches that total. We regard the latter specimens as paratypes. The species trinomial on the specimen index card has been updated in red ink in Troughton’s handwriting for the holotype and allotype, and for an additional eight specimens for which we have been able to locate original index cards. Troughton lists 13 localities for this taxon in the original description but an inspection of the register indicates that he would not have seen specimens from Grenfell or Wallendbeen, which were sent to other institutions in 1906 and 1909 respectively. A skin mount (M. 4) from Illaboo listed above and sent to the AM Education section in 1970, has not been located. It could be in the Mammal Collection but without its original registration number. It seems that little, if any alcohol material of the extinct NSW populations of this taxon remains in the AM Collection and such material is possibly not part of Troughton’s type series. AM. 34063, two pouch young (missing back limbs and tails) were found in the collection and registered 14 January 1999 and the only data are “ presented by H. K. Bennett ”. It is not known if the specimens were from NSW or if this is an error for Mr K. H. Bennett, stated by Troughton (1932 b: 220) to be the property owner of “ Moolah ”, Mossgiel, NSW, in the 1880 s.

03DD87C8FF9273191B18FEC1FC629011.taxon	distribution	Type locality. We suggest that the type locality is Koala Sanctuary, French Island, Victoria. The type locality has generally been cited simply as Victoria, reflecting confusion about a more precise location. McKay (1988 a) lists the type locality as “ Booral ”, Victoria without further comment but presumably on the assumption that the label refers to a collecting locality. We have been unable to locate a place name of “ Booral ” in Victoria. Instead, we located evidence that Booral was the name of a captive male koala: “ Booral and Burrendong ” were a pair of koalas sent in early 1930 to Noel Burnet at Koala Park, Sydney, as a gift from the Victorian Government, from the French Island Sanctuary (Williams, 1931). The caption of a photograph of Noel Burnet, head of Koala Park, holding a koala states: “ The photo shows the author with “ Booral, ” the largest koala in the establishment ” (Burnet, 1932: 29). That image shows a clear frontal view of the snout area and hirsute ears; cited as diagnostic criteria in Troughton’s account. Further evidence derives from the etching titled “ Booral (The Roue of Koala Park) ” by artist Squire Morgan, dated c. 1932.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF9273191B18FEC1FC629011.taxon	discussion	Comments. In his original description Troughton mentions two specimens only, “ The holotype male, M. 5732 in the Museum collection, and a young male received from French Island in 1930 … ”. No specimen marked as paratype has been located in the collection but M. 4841 is a likely candidate, despite the absence of any designation as such on its original skull and skin tags. Nevertheless, it is a young animal as indicated by an incompletely erupted M 3 and small body size. Troughton did not give the sex or locality of the holotype and indicated that he was providing a preliminary diagnosis ahead of a more detailed account being prepared for “ a popular work ” — presumably his book (Troughton, 1941). It is possible that Troughton was unaware of the origin of the holotype sent to the AM from Burnet’s Koala Park in Sydney; alternatively, he might have been aware that both specimens were from French Island and overlooked the ambiguity of his original statement.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF94731B1B44FB8AFD999436.taxon	discussion	Comments. Ramsay (1890 a) states that two specimens were obtained but he did not cite registration numbers. He described a male specimen, giving external and cranial measurements, which is presumably M. 362, but no information is given for the second specimen. We have not found any indication of the whereabouts of Ramsay’s male skull, or any indication that it is in the AM Mammal Collection. McKay (1988 b) designated M. 12809, cranium and dentaries only, as a lectotype. A very old label in the M. 12809 skull box reads “ Petauroides cinereus sp nov. skull from type of the sp ” on one side and on the other “ Belideus (Petaurus) cinerea large grey one Cairn and Grant ”. Despite these indications, the skull has been identified morphologically and by DNA sequencing as a specimen of Pseudocheirus peregrinus (K. Aplin, pers. comm. 2013), thereby invalidating lectotype status. The systematics of Petauroides volans (Kerr, 1792) and associated taxa are currently under investigation (K. Aplin pers. comm.) and designation of a lectotype is premature.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

He included external measurements of five specimens (which he designated A to E) and skull and dental measurements for one individual, without indicating sex or registration numbers or designating a holotype. The above four were registered in December 1889 and subsequently marked “ co-type var. colletti, Waite ” in the register (in what could be Troughton’s hand) but they are not indicated as such on the old specimen labels. The registration number of one of Waite’s syntypes is not known and the specimen has not been located. It might be the unregistered adult cranium and dentaries found in the collection and registered as M. 19611 in October 1988 but the only associated information was an old paper tag with “ Pseudochirus n. sp ” and what appears to be “ measured ” written in pencil, but no locality or collector given.

03DD87C8FF8973051921FD17FB459236.taxon	discussion	Comments. Ramsay’s original description is based on fur colour and a few body measurements, the latter given for one specimen only. However, he clearly states that his description was based on two adult females obtained from Andrew Goldie during the previous year. Ramsay does not specify the collecting locality of these two specimens, but it is implied to be the Port Moresby region from which Goldie’s bird collection was “ chiefly obtained ”. Further, he merely states that he was permitted to examine Goldie’s material, and does not indicate whether the AM obtained the two adult females. An X-ray image of the skin mount PA. 543 taken in 2013 revealed that it did not contain cranium or dentaries. It is not known whether the skin mount had a skull when originally received at the AM. Ramsay does not mention skull or dental characters of this entity in either his original or subsequent publications. Body measurements given by Ramsay compared to those of PA. 543 (in brackets) are: head length 4 inches = 102 mm (vs. c. 100 – 110 mm); head-body length, 26.5 inches = 673 mm (vs. c. 480 mm) and tail length 17 inches = 432 mm (vs. c. 320 mm). Our measurements were taken along the dorsal median surface of the stuffed skin and are necessarily approximate but it is evident that PA. 543 is a much smaller animal than the one measured by Ramsay. PA. 543 might, however, be the second of the two specimens used by Ramsay in his description. We have not found any indication in the taxonomic literature that Ramsay’s original material has been reexamined. Further, the authority that identified this specimen as a possible type in the AM database is not recorded, though it appears to have been done during Tim Flannery’s employment by the AM and possibly derived from unpublished work by J. Mahoney (T. Flannery, pers. comm. October 2016). The AM database states that AM Archives documentation supports this specimen as being a likely syntype but we have not yet identified the relevant document. The original entry in Palmer’s hand for PA. 543 is “ Cuscus chrysorrhous, F [= female], Port Moresby, Gouldie ” against which is stamped “ Gallery ”, indicating a skin mount. There is no subsequent entry indicating that it was considered to be a type. We have not yet been able to determine the fate of the skull of PA. 543, nor have we found an entry in the Palmer Register that might be the other female specimen mentioned by Ramsay. The Palmer Register entry of “ Gouldie ” against PA. 543 is significant. It is most likely an incorrect spelling of Andrew Goldie as Ramsay consistently misspelt Goldie’s name in this way during the early phase of their relationship (e. g., see Ramsay 1876 a: 164, published in July); an entry in the A Register for December 1876 is the first correctly spelt entry for Goldie that we have found and all subsequent entries correctly spell his surname. If Palmer directly copied information from specimen labels into the register, it suggests that PA. 543 was from the first collections received from Goldie during 1876, and not from subsequent material of this taxon obtained during Goldie’s second exploration of New Guinea during 1877 – 78, from which further specimens of this taxon were reported by Ramsay (1879 b). The year of publication is entrenched in the literature as 1876, however Fletcher (1896) gives the publication date of part 4 of vol. 1 as March 1877.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF8B730718C2FE31FB1595FC.taxon	discussion	Comments. Ramsay did not indicate the number of specimens in the type series in his original account, but later he listed (Ramsay, 1888 b: 30) “ 7 Phalangista johnstonei [sic], (Ramsay) sp. nov. ” and “ 1 Phalangista sp. (nov. juv) ” as dry skins obtained by Cairn and Grant (no spirit specimens of this taxon are listed). Date of collection is not recorded, but in his description, Ramsay states that Cairn and Grant obtained the material in the “ previous January ” (= 1888?). We have not found a published account of the registration numbers of the type series. The register of Feb. 1888 lists eight specimens, (M. 115 – 122, all skins) all collected by Cairn and Grant from “ Bellunder Kerr Queensland ” and we believe all are likely paralectotypes. M. 115 to M. 120 are listed as Phalangista johnstonii, with “ type ” written later in pencil against M. 115 and M. 120. Species is given as Phalangista sp nov. for M. 121, which was subsequently amended to “ T. johnstonii ”. M. 122 is listed as Phalangista “ lemuroides ” in pen, later in pencil changed to T. johnstonii and “ type ” also added in pencil. Ramsay provides extensive cranial and dental measurements for a single skull, which could only have been taken on an extracted skull, but its whereabouts is unknown. Ramsay also gave a short description of pelage colour but did not indicate the sex of the specimen upon which his description is based. All surviving skulls from the type series remain inside the skins. McKay (1988 c: 85) cites the type locality as “ probably Atherton Tableland (as Bellenden Kerr Range) ”. Ramsay does not mention the collecting locality of the type series, but indicates in the introduction to his original account, that Cairn and Grant had returned from a trip “ to the table lands of the Bellenden-Kerr Ranges ” and in the paper provides a list of mammals “ inhabiting the Brushes of the slopes and tableland of the range of mountains known as Bellenden Kerr ”. Consequently, the type series was likely to have been collected from the Atherton Tablelands or the slopes of Bellenden Kerr Ranges, or both.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

In describing this taxon, Le Souef (1916) does not indicate the number of specimens examined but he states that “ the type ” is in the AM, thereby implying a holotype, but without citing a specimen registration number. He also refers to “ skins ” that had previously been preserved in alcohol, as being referable to his proposed subspecies without indicating whether he regarded them to be part of the type series. The type locality is not indicated in the original account, but the distribution is given as “ heavy coastal scrubs in north-eastern NSW and southern Queensland. ” The study, as a whole, including other forms of Trichosurus, is stated to be based on a large series of specimens. Neither of the specimens we believe to be paratypes are labelled as such, either on specimen labels or in the M Register, but all were received from the Council of the Zoological Society, i. e. Taronga Zoo of which Le Souef was the Director, and presumably would have been seen by him.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Although the two AM specimens were sent from SAM three decades before publication of Finlayson’s paper, they evidently form part of the original series of 30 specimens he referred to in his description. Aitken (1976) states that two paratypes were sent to theAM: SAM M. 2515, male and SAM M. 2525, female, both skins and skulls, with same collection data and locality as the holotype (SAM M. 2518) given in the South Australian Museum register.

03DD87C8FF8D73001B47FE9FFE799533.taxon	discussion	Comments. In his original description, Ramsay cites both cranial and external characters but does not give any measurements nor indicate the total number of specimens upon which he founded the species. He states that “ the posterior and basal portions of the skull have been cut away ” but the fate of the skull is not known nor is it known with which specimen it is associated. The skull has been extracted from skin PA. 1135 at an unknown date. The specimen index card for that specimen, written early in the 20 th century, indicates the skull is in the skin although the possibility that this was a misjudgment cannot be excluded. Cranial or dental measurements were not given by Ramsay, hindering efforts to determine if the skull is amongst material in the AM Collection. Ramsay (1875; 1876 c) mentions that he obtained several specimens, without indicating how many. It is likely that only two were lodged in the AM Collection. The A Register entry for April 1875, before numbers were assigned to specimens, lists “ 2 skins of a new species and genus of marsupial rat Hypsiprymnodon moschatus ” from E. P. Ramsay. Perhaps Ramsay retained one or more additional specimens for his private collection. He later stated (Ramsay, 1888 a: 1296) that he had obtained five specimens of this species in 1874, and a further two by 1888. Two specimens, evidently the latter two, were registered in the AM in 1881 (A. 9813 from Cardwell) and February 1888 (M. 154, from “ Queensland ”) and these are the only specimens on the AM database that were obtained prior to 1890 other than the two syntypes. In his original description Ramsay describes fur colour of “ the young ” and stated that a half grown animal was shot by Broadbent in March 1874 but that specimen has not been accounted for since. Owen (1877) based his Pleopus on a male and female received from Ramsay, and Thomas (1888 a) indicates that a male and female purchased from the AM are cotypes of Pleopus and lists both as skins and skulls. It therefore appears that the type series was at least five specimens, of which only two appear to have been registered in the AM. A skin mount from Rockingham Bay labelled “ type ” in the MMUS (M. 458) is possibly one of Ramsay’s syntypes but has not been verified because collector or year of collection is not recorded.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

The collection date and collectors of these specimens were unknown to Troughton and Le Souef, who stated that “ both specimens were from the region of Mt Pratt, in the northeastern area of the Delta Division of Papua ” and were obtained “ doubtless through the co-operation of Papuan authorities ”. Troughton regarded deltae to be a doubtful species based on erroneous locality data provided by Le Souef for zoo animals, as indicated by his handwritten comments on a copy of the published paper, as reported by Kirsch & Calaby (1977). The AM Mammal section library has a reprint of Troughton & Le Souef (1936 a) on which Troughton has used a type writer to add a footnote on the first page: “ Note: Dendrolagus spadix is recognized as valid, but D. deltae remains uncertain owing to the doubtful locality provided for Zoo specimens by co-author Le Souef. The marked interorbital inflation indicates that deltae may be a race of goodfellowi, pending examination of an overall series of that species. E. Le. G.

03DD87C8FF8F73021BA8FACBFB0992A1.taxon	discussion	Comments. It is generally assumed that Ramsay based his description solely on three specimens that were originally in William Macleay’s private collection and now in the MMUS (e. g., Groves 1982). For reasons outlined below, we suspect that Ramsay might have founded this species on additional specimens then in Goldie’s collection, but acquired by the AM in the 1890 s, that include the above listed AM material, previously regarded as topotypes. However, a further search of archival material is required to confirm this. Ramsay provided a description and measurements for an adult male skin and skull, and mentioned an adult female and a young animal of unstated sex. He remarked that the skull was badly corroded by storage in brine which prevented him from taking detailed measurements. Ramsay does not indicate the number of specimens examined but there were at least three, given that he stated that a hunter gave three specimens to Goldie. Miklouho-Maclay (1885 d) stated that Ramsay had informed him that the three specimens of D. dorianus in Macleay’s collection had been used in his species description. Miklouho-Maclay (1885 d) provided tail and body length measurements from skin mounts of an adult male and female, and a young male; significantly, he expressed regret at not being able to provide any description of dentition beyond that available from teeth visible in a stuffed skin, i. e. he did not have a skull. Miklouho-Maclay emphatically stated that, “ as far as he knew ”, Macleay’s specimens were the only specimens in existence. Waite (1895) gave a detailed description and illustrations of the skull of D. dorianus, and stated that a single skull was available. He believed that this and other skins in the AM were topotypes, based on the remarks of Miklouho-Maclay (1885 d). Waite indicated that he had found three skins. The first was a skin mount; most likely M. 792, as revealed by his initialed remark in the M Register: “ this is the specimen referred to in my paper ”. He stated that he subsequently found two additional skins, one headless, and “ the other contained the skull ”. Annotations in the M Register initialed by Waite, and the AM “ V ” register of photographic negatives (negatives V. 1533 – 35) indicate that Waite’s skull drawings were based on photographs of M. 1048. We conclude that the headless skin is M. 1049, the remaining specimen registered at that time. We suggest that it is possible that the three specimens registered in the AM were available to Ramsay prior to publication of the taxon. All were from a small consignment of mammals from Astrolabe Range. M. 792 was registered in December 1892, before Waite’s employment at the AM. Waite subsequently registered M. 1048 – 49 in 1896, noting in the M Register that they belonged to an initial consignment “ not registered when received and in indifferent condition, signed ERW ”. Consequently, although registered in 1892 as purchased from Burns Philp Co (who were agents for Goldie’s material), one possibility is that Ramsay examined, but not necessarily purchased, the three specimens around 1882 or 1883 when Ramsay purchased a large collection of New Guinea material from Goldie, sold through his agents the Mason Brothers. Although over a thousand bird specimens (the “ Mason Brothers collection ”) were registered in March 1883, not all mammal material was purchased as it was considered to be in poor condition. The comments in the M Register regarding material obtained in 1892 against both the dorianus and other mammal specimens “ not registered when received and in indifferent condition ” would fit this scenario. Alternatively, the three specimens might have been purchased by the AM in 1892 from Burns Philp and Co as implied in the M Register, perhaps as part of Goldie’s estate. Goldie died in November 1891 (Mullins & Bellamy, 2012) and in 1885 had named Robert Philp of Burns Philp to act as executor to his will (Mullins & Bellamy, 2012: 32). The unpublished report of Ramsay (1892) recommended purchase of material from Goldie’s collection, but that document does not specify species. Ramsay (1883) states that his material was from the Astrolabe Ranges, but he does not state the collection or collections in which these were housed. His statement “ three specimens were brought to Mr Goldie ” has subsequently been taken to mean a type series of only three specimens. However this assumption is unwarranted given that a number of bird taxa described by Ramsay are now known to be based on a larger number of specimens than was alluded to in his original descriptions (McAllan, 2016). If this was the case, it raises the possibility that Ramsay’s original skull description was based on a skull from the now missingAM skin mount M. 792, the skull of which was not known to Waite (1895) and had possibly disintegrated in view of Ramsay’s statement that the skull was much corroded by brine. An alternative explanation is that the damaged skull described by Ramsay was placed in the skin mount prepared from a brine skin, which is now the adult male specimen M. 377 in the MMUS. That specimen either does not contain a skull, or has an incomplete skull augmented with a filler such as plaster of paris (Dr Jude Philp, Macleay Museum, pers. comm. 2015). It would seem that Ramsay either based his skull description on that specimen, or a then unregistered specimen in Goldie’s collection. However, it seems incongruous that the only known prepared skull of the newly described species would be placed back in a skin mount, unless the skull was deemed to be so degraded that such an action would not be seen as a loss.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Gould states that his description was based on two specimens, an adult and subadult, collected on Leichhardt’s Expedition, sent to him from the Australian Museum, but without locality, collector or date of collection. John Gilbert, Gould’s collector on Leichhardt’s Port Essington expedition, was killed on 28 June 1845 near the Valley of Lagoons (Whittell, 1954). Gould concluded that the specimens were obtained from somewhere between the Gulf of Carpentaria and Port Essington, as he was unable to find any reference to them in Gilbert’s diary. Presumably, the specimens were either collected by Gilbert shortly before his death, were collected by other members of the expedition, or given that there are two specimens, both. According to Krefft (1872 e) “ Mr Gilbert … secured the animal for the Museum collection ”, and gave the distribution as central Qld but does not mention a second specimen. It is not known whether the two syntypes were collected in two different regions or whether the juvenile was the offspring of the adult.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF80730F1BE8FD23FE629346.taxon	discussion	Comments. Flannery (1992) lists three syntypes: PA. 1033 – 35. Ramsay’s original account does not indicate the number of specimens that he examined but it was probably at least three, in light of the list of mammals prepared as mounts during 1876 by the AM taxidermist department which lists “ 3 Kangaroos (Halmaturus brownii sp nov) ” (Ramsay, 1877 h). Ramsay’s main description is based on a male, for which he gives external and cranial measurements that could only have been made on an extracted skull, and he also provides measurements for the largest specimen he saw in Rev. Brown’s collection. The whereabouts or fate of Ramsay’s male skull is unknown but it does not belong with any of the three specimens listed above. The skull labelled PA. 1033 is inconsistent with Ramsay’s description, in being smaller in key dimensions given by Ramsay (e. g., greatest skull width 44.3 mm vs 48.25 mm; “ dental series ” = upper tooth row length, 27.3 vs 33 mm); significantly, there is no sign of the partially erupted permanent premolars mentioned in his description. The skull of PA. 1033 was evidently removed from the skin mount subsequent to its examination by Tate (1940), who reported 1033 and 1034 as mounts with skulls inside.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF83730F18C4FB28FBCF9409.taxon	discussion	Comments. Ramsay provides a description of an adult male skin and cleaned skull and a young female, and provides measurements for the male. Ramsay does not state the number of specimens that he examined but he notes that several young animals were initially obtained from Port Moresby by Broadbent and Petterd, and the adult male of his description was obtained from “ southern New Guinea ” by Gouldie. [= A. Goldie]. An entry in the A Register for May 1876 (before numbers were assigned to specimens in the A Register) lists “ 1 Halmaturus new sp. Andrew Gouldie [sic] New Guinea ”, and the AM annual report for 1876 indicates that one specimen was prepared as a mount (Ramsay, 1877 h) but the lists of purchased specimens do not give a breakdown by species. The young female specimen described by Ramsay was not necessarily lodged in the AM Collection but could have belonged to a private collection such as his own or that of William Macleay. PA. 1067 is accompanied with a printed cardboard display card on which is printed “ Macropus agilis Gould, 1067, A 3642 A 3648 (male, female and young) Type of Macropus crassipes Ramsay ”. The display card postdates Thomas (1888 a) who synonymized Halmaturus crassipes with Macropus agilis.

03DD87C8FF83730E1B91FC9EFB979091.taxon	discussion	Comments. The first valid publication of the name mastersii was by Krefft (1871 a), but his most detailed account of fur colour and dentition appeared in a newspaper account (Krefft, 1872 f), in which he expressed his belief that mastersii only occurred in the “ Maryborough district ” of Qld. The specimens used by Krefft as the basis of this taxon have not been determined. Some or all of the above listed specimens probably qualify as syntypes but further archival work at the AM and in overseas institutions is needed to decide which might qualify. A broad interpretation of syntypes would include any material assigned to this taxon by Krefft, from the Burnett River district and other localities, collected by George Masters and possibly others, between about 1865 until the first valid publication of the name in Mammals of Australia in 1871. The nine specimens listed above were originally entered as H. mastersii in the Palmer Register c. 1878 and were almost certainly specimens seen by Krefft and identified by him as mastersii. Given that Krefft was probably denied access to the collections following his forced eviction from the Museum premises in September 1874, we cannot discount the possibility that some of these specimens were added to the collection during the three remaining years of his curatorship following publication of Mammals of Australia. During that period no additional specimens were listed in the AM Annual reports or newspaper reports of donations to the AM, but those documents might not have included purchased specimens. Ramsay commenced duties soon after Krefft’s eviction and some of the Palmer specimens could have been added to the collection during the first 3 – 5 years of his curatorship before Palmer registered the mastersii material. Ramsay commenced the A Register in January 1875 but items were not assigned a registration number until A. 1 in June 1877. We have not found any entries in the A Register for mastersii, or any “ Halmaturus ualabatus ” from Qld from January 1875 to the end of 1879. Specimens of Halmaturus mastersii sent by Krefft to other institutions are also likely to qualify as syntypes, including material sent to the BMNH and to Peters at ZMB, Berlin. The AM annual report for 1871 (Krefft, 1872 g) lists “ 4 wallabies (Halmaturus ualabatus and Halmaturus mastersii) ” sent to Dr Peters, Royal Museum, Berlin and the AM annual report for 1872 (Krefft, 1873 a) lists 3 skulls and 1 skeleton of “ Halmaturus mastersii ” sent to the BMNH. The material used by Krefft to form the basis of his concept of mastersii would primarily have been obtained by the AM collector George Masters, but Krefft also had a number of correspondents who probably sent him material from Qld and it is possible that he visited the region himself. The earliest indication we have found that Krefft believed he had a new species was a letter from Masters to Krefft, dated 23 May 1865 from Ipswich, in which Masters refers to another specimen of the “ new wallaby ” (AM Archives AMS 7 Letters Received, C: 40.65.5). Masters was first engaged as a collector on the AM staff in June 1864 but he also sold specimens to Krefft while employed by the AM. A detailed collecting itinerary of Masters has not been published, but he is known to have made three collecting trips to Qld during the seven years prior to publication of Mammals of Australia. His first trip was in 1865 to the Wide Bay region (Whitley, 1971), which includes Burnett River and Maryborough districts as then recognized. The AM annual report for 1865 does not list any specimens that could be mastersii, and if any were collected it is possible that they were purchased from Masters and therefore not listed in the annual report. The collection dates of bird specimens listed by Longmore (1991) indicates that Masters collected again in the Wide Bay region during October and November 1867, but again, his collecting list (AM Archives AMS 7 Letters Received, C: 40.67.12) does not include any specimens that could have been mastersii. Masters collected during August and September 1870 in the Gayndah area, Burnett River (Whitley, 1971), and it is likely that he obtained material listed by Krefft (1871 a) during that period. We have not seen the original collecting list but the specimens obtained during 1870 listed in the AM annual report (Krefft & Thomson, 1871) probably include material referred to by Krefft (1871 a). A narrow interpretation of the syntype series would include only material collected by George Masters from “ the Burnett River and other rivers ”, Qld, the area specifically mentioned by Krefft (1871 a) as the then known distribution of mastersii. Krefft (1871 a) states that “ Mr Masters has lately collected a fine series of these Wallabies from the Burnett River, Queensland ”. The AM annual report for 1870 lists material collected by Masters (locality not indicated) as “ Halmaturus mastersi — 2 skeletons, 3 skins, 2 young in spirits, 1 skull ” (Krefft & Thomson, 1871: 6). However, deciding which of the specimens currently held in the AM Collection or sent to overseas institutions were part of this initial series of H. mastersii is problematic and beyond the scope of this paper. The two adult skulls PA. 994 and PA. 995 closely fit the dimensions and diagnostic criteria proposed by Finlayson (1931) to distinguish Qld populations of W. bicolor mastersii (as Macropus ualabatus ingrami Thomas & Dollman, 1909) from nominate southern Australian bicolor. These include the smaller size, e. g., basal skull length of 113 mm and 117 mm for PA. 994 and PA. 995 respectively; relatively greater posterior expansion of the nasal bones (ratio of nasal length / breadth, 2.2, 2.1) and shorter diastema (ratio of diastema / basal skull length, 5.2, 5.7).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF85730918E0FF7CFDEF90BA.taxon	discussion	Comments. Stanbury (1969) cites MMUS 380 in the Macleay Museum as the “ holotype ” of M. jukesii and the skin, and the skull associated with the skin at that time, was identified as Thylogale brunii by Flannery (1992). However, Miklouho-Maclay’s text is ambiguous and it is unclear if he had one or two specimens. A recent assessment of MMUS material (Parnaby et al. unpublished) has concluded that his description was based on at least two specimens — a female skin mount (skull in situ) and a skin and skull preserved in “ brine ” and possibly salt affected, for which he did not indicate the sex. He comments that the latter specimen enabled him to examine skull and dental features not visible in the skin mount. Prior to 2016, the complete skull figured in the original account has been incorrectly associated with the female skin mount MMUS M 380, the skull of which was extracted in 1960 but its association with the skin mount had remained confused. We suspect that M. 2033 could be the second syntype of Miklouho-Maclay’s species, the skull of which is illustrated in the original account. Our reasoning is three fold. First, there are no candidates for the second syntype amongst the remaining skins in the MMUS (Parnaby et al. unpublished). Second, M. 2033 was sent to the AM in a batch of alcohol preserved wallaby skins, probably in 1907. The M Register entry for the Dorcopsis and Thylogales from that consignment remarked “ includes co-types! ” but did not indicate which specimens were thought to be types. Third, while three of the ten wallaby skins sent to the AM in 1907 were Thylogales, two are unlikely to be the second jukesii syntype because they contained skulls whereas the missing syntype is anticipated to be a skin only, the skull being in the MMUS. The available evidence thus supports M. 2033 as being a likely candidate for Miklouho-Maclay’s second skin of M. jukesii, the skull of which is illustrated in his original account. Head length of the stuffed study skin M. 2033 is c. 10.5 cm, which is consistent with the skull length of 9.4 cm taken from the skull illustrated in Miklouho-Maclay’s original account. Molecular methods could be used to test the association of the skull and skins. Despite these arguments, we remain cautious regarding the status of M. 2033 because there is one other potential and realistic scenario: that M. 2033 was received by Macleay after 1884, probably from Goldie, and after Miklouho-Maclay had prepared his description of M. jukesii.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF8573081BB2FF7CFAD9963B.taxon	discussion	Comments. We cannot exclude the possibly that M. 2031 is a syntype but on balance it possibly is not. Although the dimensions of the skin and skull match those provided for one specimen in Miklouho-Maclay’s description (see below), the condition of the skull is inconsistent with the skull figured in the original description. The skull is badly corroded, encrusted with deposits and partly cleaned, in contrast to the cleaned skull illustrated by Miklouho-Maclay. The corroded skull is typical of specimens obtained from Andrew Goldie, who as far as we are aware, is the only collector of that period to store New Guinea material in “ brine ” rather than alcohol. One possibility is that the syntype skins were initially stored in alcohol by Miklouho-Maclay and later transferred to brine barrels with Goldie material at the Macleay Museum, although this seems unlikely to us. Further, it seems unlikely that having extracted the brine corroded skull, Miklouho-Maclay would have subsequently returned it to the preserving solution. The documentation associated with the transfer of these specimens from the Macleay Museum in 1907 makes no mention of skulls, but this might have been an oversight. In his original account Miklouho-Maclay stated that he obtained two specimens only, both males of similar body size. Evidently he provided illustrations of both syntype skulls as revealed by his fig. 6 illustration of palatal ridges showing fully erupted rear molars, compared to incompletely erupted molars of the cleaned skull in his fig. 9. MiklouhoMaclay indicates that he shot the first specimen in 1871 and that his published illustrations and body measurements were taken of the second specimen the same day that it was killed by dogs in 1876. He states that both specimens are adult, but Thomas (1888 a) regarded them as juvenile. The two syntypes, which are not listed by Stanbury (1969) as being in the Macleay Museum, do not appear to have been reported since the original description. A search of the MMUS collection by HEP and MMUS staff in 2016 failed to locate candidate specimens. Miklouho-Maclay does not reveal whether either specimen reached Sydney after his field work in Papua New Guinea but if so, it would likely have been held in his private collection given his habit of acknowledging specimens in Macleay’s private collection in his published works of other proposed mammal taxa. The caption to his fig. 1 of the whole animal states that it was based on a sketch from life and a photograph of a stuffed specimen, implying that he did not necessarily have access to a study skin while preparing the description. Although it is not known whether Miklouho-Maclay’s original specimens have survived and whether they left Australia with him on returned to Russia in 1886 (Maclay, 1974), it is possible that the AM material contains one of his syntypes of Macropus tibol. The MMUS sent a number of containers of specimens in alcohol to the AM, which were registered on 4 Feb 1909. Included were ten specimens of wallabies: M. 2031, Macropus browni; M. 2032 – 33, Thylogale brunii originally entered in the register as? Macropus browni, and M. 2034 – 40, seven specimens originally entered as Dorcopsis macleayi (now Dorcopsulus macleayi). The original M Register entry states “ possibly co-types ” and “? New Guinea ”, meaning that cotypes are possibly included amongst the ten specimens. Given that Dorcopsulus macleayi appears to have been described from a single specimen now in the MMUS (MMUS M 381, see Stanbury, 1969), any “ co-types ” are more likely to be amongst the specimens of Thylogale: M. 2031 – 33. The skulls in this series are badly decalcified by storage in brine rather than alcohol, as described by Miklouho-Maclay for material sent from Goldie in Macleay’s private collection. The skull of M. 2031 is decalcified but it closely resembles one of the skulls illustrated in the original description, being a young animal at the same stage of molar eruption. Further, M. 2031 closely approximates the size of the skull illustrated by Miklouho-Maclay at nature size, taking into account likely distortion from the camera lucida drawing by MiklouhoMaclay, and likely shrinkage of the salt affected skull. Cranial measurements are not given in the original account but greatest skull length and zygomatic breadth, measured from the published hardcopy plate, are greater than M. 2031: greatest skull length 80.3 mm vs 72.8; zygomatic breadth 44.6 vs 40.4 mm. However, unlike the skull illustrated in the original account to which M. 2031 closely resembles, M. 2031 retains the skin on the palate. Further, the mandible is now fused with the cranium. While this might suggest that M. 2031 is not a syntype, it is possible that the skin of the palate was loosened for the illustration, and that both the palate tissue and mandible have subsequently adhered to the salt affected skull. The study skin M. 2301 is a close match with the dimensions given for one syntype in the original description considering the imprecise demarcation of the tail base in the study skin: nose tip to base of tail c. 13.5 inches vs. 13 inches for the syntype; tail length 9.5 – 10 inches vs. 9.3 inches and ear length c. 35 mm vs. 34 mm. Of the two Thylogale specimens with associated skulls sent from MMUS, M. 2031 is the only candidate syntype of Macropus tibol, if Miklouho-Maclay’s statement that both syntypes are of similar size is correct. The other specimen, M. 2032 (not listed by Flannery (1992 )) is a male study skin with a very badly decalcified and distorted skull that far exceeds the dimensions given by Miklouho-Maclay (nose tip to tail base = 20 – 21 inches vs 13 inches, tail length c. 13.5 inches vs 9.3 inches). However, the stage of molar eruption and the presence of palatal skin ridges, which are firmly adhered to the skull unlike M. 2031, are consistent with the illustration of one of the skulls in Miklouho-Maclay’s account but there is no strikingly individual feature such as damage that would secure the association. The type series of the two other thylogales described by Miklouho-Maclay, both from New Guinea, are accounted for: Macropus gracilis Miklouho-Maclay, 1885 a (= Thylogale brunii) based on the holotype skin and skull in the MMUS (Stanbury, 1969) and Macropus jukesii Miklouho-Maclay, 1885 a (= Thylogale brunii), see above account.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Jackson & Groves (2015) elevated Notamacropus to generic rank and highlighted the need for further taxonomic resolution of the status of names included within N. eugenii. Eldridge et al. (2017) demonstrated that the Kangaroo Island population was genetically distinct, but its taxonomic status remains unresolved as they were unable to include definitive samples from extinct South Australian mainland populations.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Troughton (1941) stated that the subspecies was based on “ specimens in the Australian Museum, including a male and female collected by the author in 1920 ” but does not cite registration or field numbers nor indicate the number of specimens in the type series. Calaby & Richardson (1988) listed registration numbers of the five specimens listed above, which they recognize as syntypes. Troughton did not nominate a holotype in his description, but the specimen tag of M. 2821 is labelled holotype, M. 5332 as allotype and M. 2820 as paratype, all in Troughton’s characteristic handwriting; they are listed here as syntypes because Troughton’s attributions remain unpublished. Specimen index cards for S. 1808 – 9 are not marked as paratypes but they are recognized as syntypes because they were available to Troughton in 1941.

03DD87C8FFF9737518C4FBFFFA98963B.taxon	discussion	Comments. Gray (1865 a) erected Macleayius as a monotypic genus based on photographs sent to him by Krefft, of cervical vertebrae in the AM Collection. Gray initially misinterpreted the photography and letter from Krefft, and thought that the atlas bone was separate from the fused mass of 2 nd to 7 th cervical vertebrae. He later corrected this, based on clarification from Krefft (Gray, 1866 a: 371). In his original account, Gray applied the name Macleayius australiensis beneath the figures. Gray (1873 a) subsequently gave a species description of australiensis based on a specimen sent to the British Museum from New Zealand, but Gray (1865 a) has precedence. An unnumbered specimen with fused cervical vertebrae located in the collection in 2013 is likely to be the holotype. It closely resembles the amended drawings of Gray (1866 a: 372), which Gray stated are based on photographs sent by Krefft, and is a good match to measurements given by him (Gray, 1873 a: 130). We have not yet located a registration number for the holotype in the old registers or specimen card index and it is possible that the specimen was never registered, or that a metal registration tag might have disintegrated, as observed for a number of other early cetacean specimens in the collection.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFF973741BFEFA7EFDC4931E.taxon	discussion	Comments. Wall clearly attributes the name australis to the animal towed into Port Jackson but also mentions four other specimens in addition to the holotype during the course of his extended description. These are a lower jaw from Twofold Bay, presented by B. Boyd; a lower jaw, location not specified, presented by G. Blaxland; a few post-cranial bones of a female washed up in Botany Bay: badly decomposed, likely female; and a skull of a very young “ sperm whale ” washed up near Botany (Wall, 1851). Attempts to locate these have not yet been successful and some might not have survived. Although Wall referred to these specimens in his account, they are not included in the type series because he was uncertain if the observed variation between these specimens was interspecific or intraspecific. This is one of the earliest names applied to Southern Hemisphere populations; see Hershkovitz (1966) for a detailed synonymy. Tomilin (1957), cited in Perrin (2009 d), applied the name Physeter catodon australis as a southern subspecies, which is regarded by Perrin (2009 d) as a nomen dubium.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFF873741893FB80FD3290EC.taxon	discussion	Comments. Both elements registered as PA. 339 accord well with the drawings in the original description. Gray erected the subgenus Meganeuron and the new species using photographs sent by Krefft, of two bones held in the AM: the atlas vertebrae and several cervical vertebrae fused into one mass. The fused cervical vertebrae were deemed by Krefft and Gray to be a good fit with the atlas bone, and these appear to be the only bones obtained from the specimen. Subsequently, Gray (1866 a: 389) reported that he had just received a letter from Krefft, in which Krefft stated that he had changed his mind, and now considered the cervical vertebrae to belong to “ Catodon australis ”. Consequently, Gray (1866 a) attributed his captions to figs 96 – 97 of the vertebrae to “ Meganeuron krefftii? or Catodon australis ”.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFF873771B4EF9DDFCCE93C0.taxon	discussion	Comments. Krefft based his description on a “ colt whale ” stranded at Manly beach, which he initially examined and photographed as an intact beach stranding in 1865. His detailed account is clearly based on a single specimen and it was in the AM Collection in 1873 (Krefft, 1873 b). The current identity of Krefft’s original specimen amongst the AM Kogia material has remained in doubt following Krefft’s dismissal from the AM in 1874. Assuming that Krefft’s specimen was registered by Palmer, the only entry with matching data would seem to be PA. 365 (skin, not found) and PA. 366 (skeleton). Prior to this study, PA. 366 was suspected for more than a century to be Krefft’s type. However, the donor of PA. 366 is given as “ Hon. W. Macleay ” in Palmer’s hand in the P Register, and Palmer did not indicate that PA. 366 was a type, whereas he did indicate type status for PA. 368, the holotype of Euphysetes grayii Wall, 1851. One possibility is that Krefft’s specimen was not registered by Palmer, given that Palmer was dismissed before completing the backlog of unregistered material. Further, it is not known if Krefft’s type left the AM prior to his dismissal in 1874. Confusion is compounded by uncertainty as to which skull in the Collection is PA. 366. Bannister (1988 a) cited registration numbers for the holotype as “ P 365, 366, 367 and 369 skeleton from Manly Beach ” but it is possible that these numbers refer to several different individuals. We suspect that the modern paper tag labelled PA. 366 was attached to the unmarked skull in the 1960 s to 1980 s. Krefft did not provide skull measurements in his original account to enable comparisons with the skull labelled PA. 366, but he did provide woodcuts depicting three views of the skull and dentaries. According to Schulte (1917), Krefft’s specimen is illustrated in plate xxii, fig. 8 of Van Beneden & Gervais (1880), based on photographs sent by Krefft to the Paris Exhibition of 1867. Skull shape of the specimen currently labelled PA. 366 is inconsistent with illustrations in both the original account and in the account of Van Beneden & Gervais (1880), assuming that those depictions are accurate.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

The holotype is thought to be the following material, but further verification is required: PA. 358, PA. 358.001, skull and artificial dentaries, the skull has also been labelled PA. 363; PA. 358.002, near complete, partly articulated skeleton, (pelvic bones listed in Palmer Register not yet located); PA. 359, original dentaries; PA. 363, three hyoid bones; PA. 364, three sternum bones. The original entries written by Palmer in the P Register for PA. 358 and PA. 359 are “ Mesoplodon Thomsonii, Little Bay nr Long Bay ” and the Remarks column lists 358 as “ Skeleton. Jaws restored ” and for 359 “ fractured jaws of above ”. Palmer did not mark either entry as being a type. A subsequent entry against PA. 358 and PA. 359 in 1918 signed by A. R. McCulloch states: “ evidently the holotype of the name Callidon guntheri ”. Bannister (1988 b) cites registration numbers for the holotype as “ P 358, 359, and 364 skeleton ” but this reflects confusion about the registration numbers and material in the collection at that time. The holotype was stranded in late 1870 (Scott, 1873: 116). The sex of the holotype was not recorded in the original description (perhaps because the body was “ very much hacked and lacerated ”), or in the Palmer Register entry. Sexual dimorphism was later recognized in this taxon and the specimen was considered to be female (e. g., by J. Ogilby, 1892).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFFB737718CFF98AFB60909E.taxon	discussion	Comments. Krefft’s brief description was based on one complete skeleton of a whale which he states was 18 feet long. A drawing of a tooth accompanied his description but he did not provide cranial measurements or illustrations of the skull. He also mentioned some preserved viscera, which are no longer in the collection. Krefft stated that the skeleton was complete but that the body was badly lacerated. P Register annotations made in the late 19 th and early 20 th century indicate uncertainty about the identity of Krefft’s original specimen, which remains unresolved pending a comprehensive assessment of Mesoplodon material at the AM and archival photographs. Gray (1871 a), in a footnote to Krefft’s paper (Krefft, 1871 b), proposed the genus Callidon, based on tooth morphology of the holotype of guentheri, which he believed was radically different from his concept of tooth morphology of Mesoplodon. However, Flower (in Krefft, 1871 c) expressed the view that such differences in tooth morphology were likely to be due to age or sex. Krefft (1873 c) does not mention guentheri in his comprehensive summary of Australian whale taxa, implying that he no longer recognized it as a valid species. (Article 32.5.2.1 of the Code dictates that diacritic marks of German names must be amended, thus güntheri becomes guentheri.)	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFFA737618F9FF7CFC1092A0.taxon	discussion	Comments. The basis and authorship of the name Mesoplodon longirostris has remained confused and is discussed in detail below. We present new insights into the origin of this name, and suggest that potentially embarrassing mistakes are possibly the reason the basis of this name has remained obscure in the literature. It is likely that Gray, who was responsible for publishing the name, was misled by photographs sent by Krefft of an inaccurately reconstructed rostrum of the damaged holotype skull of Mesoplodon guentheri Krefft, stranded at Little Bay, Sydney in 1870. The initial reconstruction by AM preparator Henry Barnes resulted in an excessively elongated rostrum but it appears that Gray published the name Mesoplodon longirostris before being alerted to the mistake. Support for this scenario is found in a letter from Krefft to Gray dated February 11, 1873 (BMNH Library Krefft letter 258, no. 22). Krefft refers to a Mesoplodon skeleton that he had named but did not describe. Although Krefft does not mention the name longirostris in the letter, no other name applied to Mesoplodon by Krefft matches the details given in the letter. Krefft states: “ The other whale skeleton which you refer to is Mesoplodon Sowerbiensis … There are only two teeth, one in each mandible and of these I must have sent you photographs [Krefft included drawings indicating that the tooth scarcely emerged from the bone] … I named this specimen without describing it which is very reprehensible, but I thought it would turn out to be a known species and save me the trouble of enlarging upon it. Van Beneden’s figure Plate XXII [= Van Beneden & Gervais, 1880 [1868 – 1879]) is very much like ours, there is however some difference in the shape of the skull and in the mandible … Van [Beneden] gives another figure Plate XXVI which shows only one tooth in each very similar to ours — see photograph enclosed. The head was very much broken in particular the rostral portion of it and it has been clumsily mended but I shall get it altered when there is time to do so. ” Further support stems from a newspaper account of Australian whales, in which Krefft (1873 c, published in December) makes oblique remarks that resonate with his letter to Gray. Krefft writes: “ a smaller whale, of a rare genus, was stranded at Little Bay … It took Henry Barnes several days to patch the lower jaw together, and the beak being restored rather larger than the original (as was found out afterwards from Van Beneden and Gervai’s splendid book); this misrepresentation multiplied by photographs sent to scientific institutions abroad, has caused considerable confusion ever since. ” Krefft provided a comprehensive list of the cetacean species recorded from Australian waters in his newspaper article but makes no mention of Mesoplodon longirostris, perhaps implying that he no longer regarded it to be a valid species. Gray (1873 a: 145; published in June) established the name Mesoplodon longirostris when he remarked that “ Mesoplodon longirostris of Krefft ” was either “ Berardius hectori ” or a new species, based on a photograph of a skeleton sent by Krefft. Gray noted that the specimen appeared to have no teeth (evidently not visible in the photograph), and had a “ beak ” nearly twice the length of the head compared to 1.5 times the length in “ Dr Hector’s figure ” (presumably of “ Berardius hectori ”). In August 1873 Gray presented a paper repeating these remarks verbatim (Gray, 1874: 89), including attribution of longirostris to Krefft but this was already outdated by his earlier remarks that longirostris was a synonym (Gray, 1873 a, published June). Hershkovitz (1966) cites Gray (1873 a) as the author of longirostris. Although Gray clearly attributed authorship of the name longirostris to Krefft, attribution is to Gray, given that diagnostic criteria were proposed by him (Article 50.1, the Code). The first publication of the name Mesoplodon longirostris, as a nomen nudum, was by Gray (1873 b), published in January 1873 (publication date per Evenhuis, 2003) thus predating his paper of June establishing longirostris (Gray 1873 a). In his January paper, Gray (1873 b) concluded that the photograph sent by Krefft, on which Krefft had written “ Mesoplodon longirostris Krefft ” was the same animal stranded at Little Bay to which Krefft (1871 b) had earlier applied the name “ Mesoplodon Güntheri ”. He stated that his conclusion was based on the fact that both were full skeletons (apparently rare in world collections at that time) about 18 foot long. In that paper, Gray (1873 b) stated that he regarded “ longirostris Krefft ” to be an unpublished name, and regarded the photographed specimen to be “ Callidon güntheri ” — Gray (1871 a) had earlier erected Callidon for the holotype of Mesoplodon guentheri, on the mistaken belief that its tooth structure differed from Mesoplodon. Although Gray (1873 b) published the name longirostris as a junior synonym of Mesoplodon guentheri the name is not available (a nomen nudum) because he did not provide a description or diagnosis (Article 12.1, the Code). Perhaps Gray did not have time to amend his publication of the name longirostris in his June paper (Gray, 1873 a) after being informed in Krefft’s letter of February, that the rostral reconstruction of the Little Bay whale was highly inaccurate. We have not located any reference to longirostris in either the AM registers or on any specimen labels but this would not be surprising if our interpretation of the history of this name is correct.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFFA73711B74FA26FAD6978A.taxon	discussion	Comments. There appears to be no published description of this taxon, which is usually cited as a manuscript name of Krefft. A search of Krefft’s archival documents might resolve current uncertainty surround the type material and type locality of this name. Ogilby (1892) has been cited as the author of the name but the overlooked compilation of Scott (1873) is the earliest published use of the name thomsoni that we have found but he did not provide a description. Scott (1873: 116) lists “ Mesoplodon Thomsoni Krefft MSS ” as a possible synonym of “ Sowerby’s Ziphius Mesoplodon sowerbiensis de Blainville ” [= Mesoplodon bidens]. He states: “ The skeleton in the Australian Museum, which, for the present is considered as a synonym, is that of an animal stranded at the latter end of 1870 on the beach near Little Bay “. This could be interpreted to mean that thomsoni is the same taxon as the animal stranded near Little Bay, or that thomsoni was based on that specimen. In a newspaper article on Australian whales published after Scott (1873), Krefft (1873 c) states that “ A splendid specimen in the Australian Museum collection has been named in honour of the late Professor A. M. Thomson, Mesoplodon Thomsonii; it appears, however, to be identical with the above species [Mesoplodon Sowerbiensis] ”. Krefft did not cite authorship of thomsonii or mention an associated locality in his newspaper article of October 1873 and it appears that he no longer believed that it was a valid species. The name had apparently fallen into disuse, although Ramsay (1890 b: 109) lists a whale skeleton on display at the AM as “ Mesoplodon thomsoni ”. The only information provided by Ogilby (1892: 71) is a passing comment that the name Mesoplodon thomsoni used by Krefft in an unpublished manuscript of a whale stranded at Little Bay, was in his opinion likely to be a female example of Mesoplodon layardii (Gray, 1865 c). Assuming that Ogilby examined Krefft’s manuscript, and was not paraphrasing Scott, it would appear that the type locality is Little Bay. Given that thomsoni has been linked with an animal from Little Bay (Scott, 1873; Ogilby, 1892), it is possible that Krefft simply recycled the holotype of guentheri by applying the name thomsoni to honour the premature death of his colleague Professor Thomson (Alexander Morrison Thomson, 1841 – 1871). However, it is also possible that Krefft based the name on another specimen, perhaps P. 356, a Mesoplodon stranded near Wollongong and originally entered as thomsoni by Palmer. However, thomsoni was the only species name entered by Palmer for PA. 358 and 359, the holotype of Mesoplodon guentheri Krefft. Rediscovery of Krefft’s unpublished manuscript describing thomsoni, if it has survived, could resolve this. Iredale & Troughton (1934) mistakenly attribute thomsoni to Flower (1878: 416) as noted by Hershkovitz (1966). Bannister (1988 b) attributes Mesoplodon thomsoni to Ogilby, 1892 but misspelt it as “ thompsoni ”.

Collection date and collector not given in the A Register. No specific locality is entered against this specimen, but an earlier register entry indicates that it was part of a large collection from the “ Port Moresby district ” purchased from Andrew Goldie. In his original account, Ramsay states that the specimen was obtained on Andrew Goldie’s second expedition to New Guinea. No associated skeletal elements or skin have yet been located in the collection but it is possible that the holotype was originally a mounted skeleton, as “ 1 dog, from New Guinea ” is listed amongst mammal specimens articulated during 1881 in the AM Annual report (Ramsay, 1882 c). Alternatively, the mounted specimen may have been a specimen acquired from another source, possibly from Miklouho-Maclay. The skull has the registration number written in what is likely to be Troughton’s handwriting. Condition.

03DD87C8FFFD73731B6EFEFDFD889206.taxon	discussion	Comments. Volume 3 issue 3 of the Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. W. is the only issue for which Fletcher (1896) could not determine the publication date; it was probably between January – May 1879, based on publication dates of conjoint issues. Previous assessments of the status of this taxon have presumably been made without examination of Ramsay’s original material that has remained unreported in the AM Collection since its description. Troughton (1971) reported that Ramsay’s specimen had been destroyed but we are confident that the dog skull labelled A. 3652 is the specimen reported by Ramsay. Although he did not specify the collection locality, sex, or provide any measurements of the specimen, Ramsay stated that it was obtained from Goldie and his wording implies a single specimen. Only one “ Canis papuensis ” is listed in the AM specimen acquisitions for 1878, purchased from Goldie and listed, remarkably, under “ Collection of fish specimens from New Guinea (in spirits) ” (Ramsay, 1879 c). Specimen A. 3652 was registered in December 1878 as part of a large consignment of specimens in spirit purchased from Goldie; these were entered in the register under the heading “ Collection of spirit specimensAndrew Goldie not in the best state ” and many were later marked as “ destroyed ”. Taken along with Ramsay’s comment that the dog specimen was received from Goldie in a poor state of preservation in spirits, these entries may have influenced Troughton (1971) to state that Ramsay’s holotype was no longer in the collection. However, A. 3652 was actually marked as being transferred to the Palaeontology Dept. (no date given) where it was found in 2012 during preparation of this paper. Troughton (1957) initially treated papuensis as a nomen nudum but he later equivocated and even commented that the name had been ignored by most authors (Troughton, 1971). The ratio zygomatic breadth / condylobasal length (87.8 / 168.5 mm) of 0.52 for A. 3652 falls below the range 0.64 – 0.74 given for Koler-Matznick et al. (2003) for New Guinea Singing Dogs “ C. hallstromi ” and it is also below 0.61 – 0.62 given by those authors for Papuan village dogs. Ramsay stated that his knowledge of this taxon, including its small body size and inability to bark, drew from the observations of Morton and Broadbent about Papuan dogs. Although it is not known who collected the holotype during Goldie’s expedition, it is possible that the specimen came from a moderate to high elevation in the Owen Stanley Range behind Port Moresby, given that collecting occurred quite early over a wide range of altitudes (Moore & Mullins, 2012; Morton, 1885 a). In an account of his work with Goldie, Morton (1885 b) indicates in relation to “ the New Guinea dogs ” that “ we did not find them in a wild state ”, only in villages. However, Broadbent had a separate collecting camp and might have obtained the holotype as a feral animal. It is possible that the holotype was a village dog but that Ramsay’s description reported observations of the singing calls heard by field workers.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFF1737C18CEFEF2FD4E95B9.taxon	discussion	Comments. Waite based his description on five specimens: four males which he designated A – D, and a female E, but the location of four of these specimens has remained confused. Dixon (1970) cited an adult male syntype in the MV, noting a possible mix up of syntype labels, and cited AM M. 1158 and M. 1298 as possible syntypes. Aitken (1976) listed several male skulls (without bodies) and a female along with other potential syntypes in the SAM. Spencer’s contacts in Central Australia sent him an unknown number of additional specimens of this taxon after the Horn Expedition and after the preparation of the Horn Expedition report. It is very likely that M. 1158 is one of Waite’s syntypes. This specimen was registered in November 1896, soon after receipt of a letter from Spencer to the AM dated 28 October 1896 (AM Archives AMS 9 Letters Received, S. 93 / 96) advising that accompanying specimens donated to the AM were from the Horn Expedition, with an attached inventory listing “ 1 Conilurus pedunculatus ”. Waite (1898 a) reports a female and three males of this species that were sent fromAlice Springs after the expedition and forwarded to Spencer. Waite’s paper was read on 21 October 1897 and M. 1298 was the next specimen of this species from Spencer to be registered, on 15 July 1898. This specimen might be a syntype as suggested by Dixon (1970) but it might also be one of those collected after the Horn Expedition. Kitchener (1989) discussed the confused provenance of specimens suspected to belong to Waite’s type series and recognized that M. 1064 is unambiguously Waite’s specimen A, marked as “ type ”. We concur — this specimen is without doubt, Waite’s type. Correspondence from Spencer dated 25 March 1896 to Waite (AM Archives letter S. 26 / 96), states that Spencer was sending rodent specimens of new taxa named by Waite in the Horn Expedition report, requesting that Waite select and retain type specimens, and return the remainder. In his original description, Waite states that the specimens of his description were all supplied by Spencer, who did not collect any of them. As noted by Troughton, Waite wrote in the remarks column of the register, opposite registered specimens of a range of rodent taxa presented by Spencer, that “ the balance of the specimens were returned to Prof Spencer, one of each species, (the type) being retained. ” Although Waite does not refer to specimen A as the holotype, this is implicit by him writing “ TYPE ” in the remarks column against M. 1064, along with his reference to the return of other specimens to Spencer, which in this context implies that the returned specimens were not the type. The lectotype (M. 1064) is the only one of the five syntypes with a certain provenance, contrary to the view of Aitken (1976). Dixon (1970) and Aitken (1976) discuss the uncertainty of locating and identifying syntypes of pedunculatus and pedunculatus var. brachyotis, and suggest a possible mix up of specimen labels. This is further compounded by disassociation of skulls from bodies, the dispersal of specimens to at least three institutions, and the problems of distinguishing syntypes from additional specimens sent to Spencer in the years following the Horn Expedition. Kitchener (1989) considered the type locality of Alice Springs as suspect on the grounds that Spencer did not collect the specimens himself. However, the specimen was obtained by J. Field, who was based in Alice Springs and forwarded the material to Spencer (Calaby, 1996).

03DD87C8FFF1737C18CEFEF2FD4E95B9.taxon	discussion	Comments. This taxon is based on two specimens, a male “ F ” and a female “ G ” in Waite’s description. M. 1065 is marked as “ var. brachyotis ” and “ TYPE ” and as specimen “ G ” of Waite’s description, all in Waite’s writing (signed ERW) in the M Register. Under Article 72.4.7, the annotation “ Type ” on specimen G in the Museum register does not validate it as a holotype; the two specimens represent syntypes. Specimen F was perhaps returned to Spencer by Waite, but its current whereabouts is uncertain. Finlayson (1941) believed that he had examined the skull of Waite’s specimen F and Aitken (1976) lists specimen F as SAM M. 2412, male, skull only. However, Kitchener (1989) expressed doubt, noting discrepancies in cranial measurements with those of F provided in the original description. Kitchener (1989) examined both putative syntypes in the AM and SAM and concluded that brachyotis was not a valid taxon on the grounds that the specimens fall within the range of intraspecific variation of pedunculatus. He also considered both to be either subadult or young adults, and noted that Finlayson (1941) had determined that SAM M. 2412 (a skull) was “ definitely young ”. Kitchener (1989) did not designate a lectotype for brachyotis, citing possible confusion over syntype recognition; he was evidently unaware of Waite’s unambiguous entry for this taxon in the M Register.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Mesembriomys macrurus (Peters, 1876 a), following Jackson & Groves (2015), no subspecies recognized. Syntype. M. 1350 by subsequent determination. Male, skin mount (Fig. 30), skull not in skin. The M Register entry for M. 1350 has “ holotype ” written next to it in what appears to be Troughton’s handwriting. M. 1350 was registered from the Old Collection in September 1898 with the following entry: “ Conilurus boweri Rams. male NW Aust. OC [= Old Collection], skin, skull in skin?. Type. Figured. (found in stores) ” but without a collection date or collector.? Syntype.? M. 1350. A cranium and dentaries (Fig. 31) have been matched with the skin subsequent to the Register entry for skin mount M. 1350, but when and by whom is not recorded and there is doubt that the cranium and dentaries belong with the skin. An unsigned, undated note in the skull box, probably written by J. Mahoney, suggests that the cranium and dentaries are mismatched with the skin, “ see my notes in checklist of Muridae ” — presumably a reference to the conclusion of Mahoney & Richardson (1988) that the holotype skull remains unlocated. The registration number of M. 2350 cited for the type by Mahoney & Richardson (1988) is an error. Condition. M. 1350. Skin mount: five fractures in the tail, ear tips torn, snout torn.? M. 1350.

03DD87C8FFF073781BB4FCC3FD9B93F3.taxon	discussion	Comments. We are unable to unequivocally determine whether the skull marked M. 1350? is Ramsay’s original specimen. Our initial conclusion based on comparisons of the skull with Ramsay’s illustrations was that it could not be the skull upon which the illustrations were based. However, for reasons set out below, a more detailed assessment suggests that the possibility remains open that the skull possibly is the one used by Ramsay. Ramsay indicated that his original description was based on two specimens. The external description was based on an adult male skin without a skull, while the illustrations of skull and dentition, and possibly also manus and pes, were based on a skin and skull for which Ramsay did not state the sex. As the original description was based on both specimens, we regard them to be syntypes, contra Mahoney & Richardson (1988), who refer to the “ holotype ” which they state was not found in the AM. Ramsay’s original specimens were: (1) an adult male skin, now unlocated, probably without skull, collected by T. H. Bowyer-Bower from the Derby area, northern Australia, and probably collected in 1886, given that Bowyer-Bower died on a field trip in December 1886 (see Mahoney, 1965). Ramsay (1887 b) stated that the type specimen was sent in one of Bowyer-Bower’s last batches of specimens; (2) a skin with cranium and dentaries of unspecified sex, from the Derby district, northern Australia, collected by E. J. Cairn. The collecting date is not recorded but likely to have been during 1886, given that Cairn collected in the Derby region with Bowyer-Bower, who arrived there in the first half of 1886. Ramsay describes the initial specimen as the “ type ” and specifically states that it was forwarded to him by BowyerBower but its whereabouts remains undetermined. It is not clear if Ramsay lodged the skin in the AM Collection, retained it in his private collection, or perhaps sent it in exchange to another institution. It appears that the skin mount M. 1350 is the one collected by Cairn. However, we do not know if Ramsay’s first specimen was a skin mount or flat skin subsequently turned into a mount, nor is it known if Ramsay received the first specimen as a dry or wet skin. The tail of the skin mount is set in an unusual position (Fig. 30), being drawn between the legs, but in a manner that would aid transportation — perhaps the specimen was prepared in Northern Australia. Lacerations on the head of the skin mount are consistent either with skull extraction, or to assess whether a skull was in situ. The text description is based on a male skin, the skull of which Ramsay states is missing. Mahoney (1965) points out that Ramsay might never have received the skull from the collector, and that the skull could have been lost during field preparation of the skin. A footnote in Ramsay’s original account (Ramsay, 1887 b: 1154) indicates that after writing the description, he received another specimen from “ Mr. Cairn’s collection ” (presumably E. J. Cairn) from the same district, upon which the skull illustrations would be based, “ together with the hand and foot ”. The ambiguity in Ramsay’s footnote means that it is not clear which specimen was used to illustrate manus and pes, perhaps his second specimen. We see no grounds for rejecting skin mount M. 1350 as being one of Ramsay’s original specimens, as indicated in the M Register. However, establishing whether skin mount M. 1350 is the first or second of Ramsay’s skins is problematic. The head-body and tail length given by Ramsay for his first skin approximate those of M. 1350, but the imprecision of those measurements combined with possible shrinkage limits further interpretation. Although the digits of the right pes of skin mount M. 1350 are widely splayed, unlike those illustrated, comparisons would be void if the illustrations were prepared on the skin before it was fixed in its current configuration as a mount. This also applies to differences between the unsplayed digits of the left pes of the mount, had that been used in the illustration after appropriate image reversal. The right manus of M. 1350 does resemble the illustration. The skull currently matched with skin M. 1350 has “ M. 1350? ” in black ink written on the skull. The right dentary also has “ M. 1350? ”, which partly obscures a faded ink circle with a central dot, possibly remnants of ♀ (Ramsay often included a dot in female, but not male, symbols). Significantly, the right dentary of M. 1350? has “ H. boweri ” clearly written in faded ink, in contrast to Conilurus boweri, the name entered when registered in 1898 during Waite’s curatorship. Ogilby (1892) was the first to apply the name Conilurus to this entity, and assuming that the person who wrote “ H. boweri ” on the dentary was conversant with the latest generic nomenclature, it appears that it was written prior to 1892, during Ramsay’s curatorship. If the drawings accompanying Ramsay’s description are an accurate representation, skull M. 1350? cannot be the skull illustrated by Ramsay. There are a number of discrepancies between the two (Fig. 31), the most obvious of which include: (a) the pronounced posterior taper of the nasals contrast with those of the matched skull; (b) the infraorbital foramina are relatively much larger than those of the matched skull (marked “ a ” in Fig. 31), as seen from both dorsal and lateral drawings, yet not the ventral skull illustration; (c) the less anteriorly rounded braincase and broader interparietals of the matched skull; and (d) the greatly expanded angular processes of the dentaries contrast with those of the matched skull. Further, a cavity that appears to be the result of damage to the anterodorsal margin of the right orbit is evident in dorsal and lateral skull illustrations but not in the matched skull, while the anterior accessory cusps on M 1 of the matched skull are not present in the illustrations. The dorsal drawing of both dentaries closely resemble those of the matched skull (other than the angular processes) but the lateral depiction of the left dentary bears no resemblance. Both dentaries are attached in the matched skull and do not appear to have been glued together and this might have forced the artist to draw freehand, with a less than accurate outcome. Despite significant discrepancies between skull M. 1350? and the illustrations of Ramsay’s account, several considerations support the skull as a possible match. First, at our request rodent specialist Dr Ken Aplin examined the skull and compared it with Ramsay’s plate. He drew our attention to several unusual circular bands of bone discolouration across the frontals of M. 1350? which he regarded as a possibly unique feature of that skull and which match the three circular marks of Ramsay’s dorsal skull drawing (“ b ” in Fig. 31). He concluded that, in spite of the obvious differences between the skull and illustrations, M. 1350? was possibly the skull illustrated by Ramsay (pers. comm. 2016). Further support stems from skull dimensions. Ramsay did not provide cranial or dental measurements but stated that his illustrations are reproduced at life size. A comparison of measurements of the matched skull with those taken from a hardcopy of Ramsay’s plate 18 from the journal (Table 5) show a remarkable agreement for the majority of the 16 measurements, bearing in mind measurement error. Notable exceptions include posterior width across nasals, breadth of the infraorbital foramen and dentary length. The close match between measurements of skull and illustrations are significant considering that few specimens of this taxon were ever likely to have been in the AM Collection. Only three specimens additional to M. 1350 have been registered in the AM, two in 1932. It appears that there were no registered specimens of this species in the Collection when M. 1350 was registered. Only one specimen (A. 4783) had been registered previously but had been exchanged. We do not know how many unregistered specimens existed at the time, but presumably there were few if any. We do not know how the artist prepared the images accompanying the original description, nor the technique used to produce the plate for publication but they appear to have been prepared from photographic images. The simplest explanation for discrepancies between the matched skull and Ramsay’s illustrations is that the illustrator, possibly not familiar with details of rodent cranial morphology and molar loph patterns, produced an inaccurate rendition. Under this scenario, the artist might have achieved correct size and proportions for most of the skull, yet failed to accurately draw all of the skull proportions. The lateral drawing of the dentary, and the relatively large upper incisor in the lateral skull drawing are likely examples of poor draftsmanship, as is the incongruent depiction of upper molar lophs between left and right molar rows Although we cannot discount this scenario, the pit in the right orbit seen in lateral and dorsal skull views, the sharp posterior nasal taper and possibly the enlarged infraorbital foramen seem incongruent to us. If the matched skull is accepted as being Ramsay’s original, it would be necessary to attribute the later discrepancies to artistic license or poor draftsmanship. This would appear to be a distinct possibility, given the poor renditions accompanying other descriptions of rodent taxa by Ramsay (e. g., Mus burtoni). Another possibility, however remote, is that the skull was originally selected as a match for the skin on the basis of fortuitous similarities in skull and dental dimensions with the illustrations. This would seem improbable given the small number of specimens of M. macrurus likely to be in the AM Collection.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFF47378188DFB1BFA5B90E3.taxon	discussion	Comments. Krefft indicates in his original account that he had purchased “ several ” specimens a “ few months earlier ”. His description was evidently based on several skins and one complete skull. He provides external measurements for “ one of the dried skins ” and notes that the molars are very worn in the skull he described. The alleged syntype S. 1848 has damage to the presphenoid bone resembling that seen in the skull illustrated in fig. 3 of Krefft’s original description. However that illustration depicts a relatively broader skull than S. 1848, with shorter nasals that do not extend posteriorly to contact the frontal suture. Krefft does not provide skull or dental dimensions for his specimen. We suspected that PA. 88 – PA. 91 might be syntypes, before we became aware of the unpublished manuscript of Troughton (1956), who had reached the same conclusion. However, we cannot exclude the possibility that one or more of the latter specimens might have been obtained by Krefft after publication of his account. Mus macropus Gray, 1866 b is a primary homonym, and thus the first available name for the species is Hapalotis caudimaculata Krefft, 1867 b (see Groves & Flannery 1994).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFF773651B4EF90AFCCE959E.taxon	discussion	Comments. Gould (1863 a) states that lutrilla was known from a single specimen and Krefft (1864 a) states that is was known from a single half grown specimen. Gould (1863 a) remarked that, not having examined the specimen, he was unable to determine if it was a valid species. Although Gould attributed discovery of this entity to Macleay, Gould reproduced a description provided by Krefft and authorship is therefore attributed to Krefft (Article 50.1, the Code). The specimen currently believed to be the holotype is fully furred. Although this is inconsistent with the remark by Krefft (1871 a) that “ the original specimen in the Australian Museum has lost much of the fur … ”, it is possible that the skin mount has been repaired. Krefft in Gould (1863 a) gave four body measurements of the holotype which are a good fit with PA. 125, given the relatively imprecise nature of the characters and possible skin shrinkage. These are (our measurements in brackets): “ length from tip to tip ”, 17 inches (16 ¾ inches); length of tail about 7 inches (7 inches); “ length of face to base of ear ”, 2 inches (2 inches); length of tarsi and toes, 2 inches (pes length without claws, 48 mm = 1.89 inches). Mahoney & Richardson (1988) list 13 names under chrysogaster but do not discuss subspecific status. Troughton (e. g., 1941; 1974) recognized eight species of Hydromys in Australia, including H. chrysogaster lutrilla, one of several subspecies he recognized of H. chrysogaster. In the absence of any comprehensive taxonomic studies during the past 50 years, modern authors have defaulted to treating “ chrysogaster ” as a single variable species without recognizing subspecies, most of which are treated as invalid.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Troughton based the description on a single specimen, adding that a second adult male, evidently received after preparing the initial description, had external dimensions similar to those of the holotype. The latter specimen is still in the AM Collection and is M. 6045, male adult, body in alc., Buin, presented by J. B. Poncelet, registered 18 December 1935. It is considered to be a referred specimen. Poncelet presented four additional specimens (topotypes) that were registered as M. bougainville by Troughton during 1937 to 1939, all from the Buin district: M. 6343 – 44, M. 6493 and M. 6650, all listed as female in the register.

Although this species was described by Winter (1984), it is evident that the name was inadvertently published in his earlier account (Winter, 1983) of “ Melomys sp. ” and the caption to his figure states that the species “ had not been formally described when this book went to press and still lacked a scientific name ”. Subsequent authors have variously accepted the publication date as 1983 (e. g., McAllan & Bruce, 1989; Jackson & Groves, 2015) or 1984 (e. g., Mahoney & Richardson, 1988; Musser & Carleton, 2005). We accept the publication date as 1984 on the grounds that the description was in two parts, with the initial incomplete description that referred to Winter’s paper in press.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFEA73611B54FACEFCCF90F3.taxon	discussion	Comments. Description based on an adult male specimen. Troughton mentioned a young female received from Hans Kroyer but did not cite the registration number. The specimen appears to be M. 5953, (body in alc.), from Hayman Island, registered on 8 April 1935. He also mentions an adult specimen to be forwarded by Kroyer, which is presumably included in the six specimens from the type locality (M. 6049 – 54) from Kroyer registered in December 1935 and identified in Troughton’s hand as M. limicauda. We regard M. 5953 to be a referred specimen, rather than a paratype because it is implicitly excluded from the species description.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

It seems conceivable that Troughton obtained locality data of the holotype from his contemporary Froggatt. Dwyer et al. (2015) concluded that “ Fossil camp ” was the furthest upstream location on the Strickland River reached by the Geographical Society’s Expedition, located between the junctions of the Murray and Carrington Rivers at approximately 5 ° 51 ' 20 " S 142 ° 8 ' 50 " E, and they state that Froggatt had estimated this site to be about 100 miles (along the river) from the junction with the Fly River. The Expedition stayed one night at Fossil Camp (27 September 1885) and returned to the Fly junction on 29 September. It is likely that the holotype was collected in late September, and the type locality was Fossil Camp or an adjoining site downstream.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFEE736218E1FF7CFAE097F1.taxon	discussion	Comments. Ramsay indicated that he examined sub-adults and adults of each sex, but failed to indicate the number of specimens in the type series, or cite field numbers or registration numbers (the new A Register numbering had not yet commenced). He stated that no skulls were available and that his description was based on external criteria. Syntype skin M. 2364 has what is most likely Ramsay’s original tags, written in his hand. Both syntype skins have printed paper tags attached with the only information being the numbers 48 and 52, respectively. We suspect that the numbers refer to Palmer Register numbers, and if so, are inconsistent with original data entered by Palmer in the Register and with amendments made when M numbers were assigned in 1913. Both syntypes are likely to have been re-registered from a series of specimens PA. 48 to PA. 54 originally in alcohol, that also include likely syntypes of Mus musavora Ramsay. It seems certain that confusion existed in assigning numbers to specimens when registered by Palmer. An annotation in Troughton’s hand to the old specimen index card for PA. 50 – 51 (marked Mus echmyoides [sic], mounted group of two) notes “ Registration numbers doubtful according to Palmers entry, see specimens registered as M. 2364 – 65 which are definitely labelled “ types ” “.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFEE736D1B5EFBDDFE4B933E.taxon	discussion	Comments. Waite provided measurements for five specimens, one male and four females, which he designated specimens A to E (A being the only male), and gave a collection date as February 1895 for the series. Waite registered two specimens in the AM under the one number, M. 1070, with the M Register entry annotated “ D ”. Troughton (1932 c), noted that neither specimen was marked as “ D ”; he selected what he considered to be the larger of the two, as specimen D. In his unpublished type specimen list, Troughton (1956) listed M. 1070 B as a “ co-type ” of this taxon. Aitken (1976) stated that specimens labelled B and C (skulls only) are in the SAM. He discussed the identity of the three suspected paralectotypes in the MV listed by Dixon (1970). Aitken (1976) suggested that the AM skin mount (M. 1070 B) could be the only syntype body seemingly unaccounted for: a female skin, the skull of which he believed was either specimen B or C in the SAM. However, Aitken did not realize that a skull was associated with M. 1070 B. One possibility is that Waite registered his specimen E as a duplicate under specimen D, but failed to record this in the M Register; this action would have been contrary to Spencer’s instruction in correspondence that specimens should be returned except for one “ type ”. Alternatively, the duplicate specimen M. 1070 B may be a sixth specimen available to Waite at the time of his description, but which was not mentioned in his original account. If so, it could be regarded as a part of the type series because it was not explicitly excluded by Waite. Under this scenario, Waite’s specimen E might be amongst unmarked material in the MV listed by Dixon (1970).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFE1736D1904FBC8FA649576.taxon	discussion	Comments. This taxon and the associated specimens were discussed at length by Taylor & Horner (1973), who arranged for the skull to be extracted from the holotype skin in 1965. Calaby & Taylor (1974) reported a previously overlooked, unpublished manuscript which indicated that two specimens were obtained by Wall from the type locality. Krefft (1864 a: 63) lists two adult specimens of Mus longipilis obtained from Wall from “ Victoria River ”. The original Palmer Register entry lists PA. 20, given as Mus longipilis from “ Victoria River ”, flat skin, missing head, indicated as “ dried skin in bottle, head torn off ”. This specimen is in the collection and is identified as villosissimus by Taylor & Horner (1973) and is a topotype given that Gould based his description on a single specimen loaned to him by the AM. Waite (1898 a) recognized that the name Mus longipilis Gould was preoccupied by a Chilean rodent described by Waterhouse in 1837 and so proposed the new name Mus villosissimus.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFE1736C1BF0FD9DFE669424.taxon	discussion	Comments. Ramsay does not indicate the number of specimens he examined but his account of external and cranial characters suggests that he examined more than one. Troughton (1936 a: 345) made a passing reference to “ the lectotype male and allotype female of Mus musavora Ramsay = Melomys rufescens Alston, from Duke of York Island, Nos. M. 2367 – 68, collected by the Rev. George Brown about 1876 ”. However, on the same page, he refers to the “ holotype skull ” of musavora. In his unpublished list of AM mammal types he listed M. 2367 as a lectotype (Troughton, 1956). We are not aware of any formal lectotype designation, before or since, and leave open the question of whether Troughton’s mention constitutes lectotype fixation. Menzies (1996) examined M. 2367 – 68 and listed both under a heading “ Holotypes ” (= syntypes). A further specimen (M. 2348) could be from Ramsay’s original series. This specimen was not mentioned by Troughton (1936 a; 1956), perhaps because it is immature. However, Ramsay mentions that he examined both adults and young. It was entered in the M Register in December 1913 as “ Mus musavora 1876, Old Collection, Rev George Brown ” “ skin and skull ”, but without subsequent amendment that it is a type, unlike the M Register entries for M. 2367 – 68. Printed paper tags attached to the skins of the three specimens are likely to be Palmer Register numbers (49, 53 and 54), and if so, are inconsistent with the data originally entered apparently in error by Palmer in the register; see previous account for Mus (?) echimyoides Ramsay.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

A. 11257 by subsequent determination (Troughton, 1936 c). Male adult, skull (Fig. 41), body originally in alc., body evidently destroyed. The original register entry for locality is unambiguously given as “ Florida Isld S. ” This was subsequently crossed out and replaced with Ugi Island, in handwriting consistent with that of Troughton. Collected by Alexander Morton, registered in December 1881. Collection date not recorded in register but probably between late April 1881 and June 10, 1881 (Lavery, 2014). Troughton (1936 c) stated that the holotype skin had been lost long ago, but the AM A Register notes “ Skin worthless — destroyed 24. xii. 13 ” [= 1913], in what appears to be Troughton’s handwriting. Condition. Cranium missing anterior part of both nasals, otherwise complete; both dentaries complete.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFE0736F189FFCD2FEF9925E.taxon	discussion	Comments. Known only from the original specimen (Flannery, 1995 c). This taxon was redescribed by Troughton (1936 c), who claimed to have relocated Ramsay’s original skull. He stated that “ … careful examination of the “ old collection ” crania in the Museum resulted in discovery of the holotype skull, the identity of which is definitely established by comparisons with Ramsay’s illustrations ”. While it is clear that Ramsay’s original specimen was registered with the number A. 11257 as indicated in the A Register, we do not share Troughton’s conviction that the skull he assigned to A. 11257, at the time an unlabelled skull, is definitely Ramsay’s original specimen. There is no doubt that the registration number is correct and that cranial and dental measurements given by Ramsay broadly fit those of the skull assigned by Troughton, not withstanding the uncertainty of how Ramsay took some of his measurements. However, there are substantial differences in cranial morphology between the skull assigned by Troughton, and the illustrations accompanying Ramsay’s account — Ramsay’s illustrations show features more consistent with a species of Uromys (Cyromys), a subgenus restricted to the Solomon Islands (see Groves & Flannery, 1994), while the skull assigned by Troughton to A. 11257 displays features of Solomys (e. g., Groves & Flannery, 1994). A detailed assessment of this issue will be presented elsewhere. The incorrect citation of 1883 as year of publication of Mus salamonis Ramsay is entrenched in the literature, but Fletcher (1896) indicates that volume 7, part 1 was published in May 1882. Although Ramsay unambiguously gave the type locality as Ugi Island, this was amended anonymously to Florida Island in a separate erratum slip inserted into volume 7, part 2 (published August 1882); most recent authors since Laurie & Hill (1954) have accepted Florida Island as the type locality. Troughton forcefully contended that the holotype had been collected on Ugi Island, citing mention of a new Mus from Ugi in a published report on the collecting trip by Morton (1882) and this was accepted by Tate (1951 b). We suspect that Troughton (1936 c) was unaware of the erratum slip, which is not mentioned in his paper; we failed to find a copy in the AM. In his recent review, Lavery (2014) considered the evidence of the erratum slip and also summarized Morton’s itinerary in the Solomon Islands during 1882. Lavery concluded that the holotype was obtained from Ugi, primarily on the basis of Morton’s report, although he acknowledged the ambiguity of Morton’s account regarding the duration of their stay in the Florida group. In preparing this report, we uncovered another piece of relevant evidence — the original entry for A. 11257 in the A Register, made in December 1881, reads “ Mus sp nov Florida Isld ”. The handwriting is most likely Ramsay’s (Ian McAllan, pers. comm. 2015). This was subsequently amended to Ugi by Troughton, presumably based on the title of Ramsay’s paper. Morton was present when Ramsay read his paper naming the taxon at the January 1882 meeting of the Linnean Society of NSW, so at that time, both men presumably concurred at that time that Ugi was the collecting locality, unless Morton, for whatever reason, was averse to contradicting Ramsay. We conclude that the type locality of this taxon remains unresolved; a detailed discussion will be presented in a separate paper on the putative holotype and its type locality.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

PA. 58, sex and age not determined, two cranial fragments and damaged right dentary, original entry in Palmer Register is “ Mus subrufus, Murray River, skin in bottle head removed ”, entered in Palmer Register c. 1877. Another specimen registered by Palmer is also a possible syntype: PA. 53, specimen not sighted in 2015 and no record of it being sighted during the past few decades. The original P Register entry is “ Mus subrufus ”, no locality or other data, “ headless skin in bottle ”. The skull fragments currently labelled? PA. 58 had a note in the skull box stating that the fragments were found in a box with two labels in 1970. Both labels were written in old ink by the same hand, one states “ Mus subrufus Murray River ” written on cardboard, while the other states “ Mus subrufus ” written on a label with a blue lined margin. We have not determined who wrote the labels, but the writing is not inconsistent with that of Krefft. It is not clear why the skull fragments were assigned to PA. 58. It appears that the fragments could either be PA. 53, PA. 58 or another specimen not registered by Palmer. Condition.? PA. 58, incomplete cranium, consisting of two fragments: an incomplete rostrum with both incisors, and a right maxillary fragment with intact molar row. Right dentary only, missing distal section of ascending ramus, missing incisor.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFE3736F18EBFA60FC04926B.taxon	discussion	Comments. Mahoney & Richardson (1988) discuss this name and state that subrufus Krefft, 1862 and murrayensis Krefft, 1862, (which Krefft proposed as a subspecies of subrufus) are both unused senior synonyms of Pseudomys desertor Troughton and should not be used, i. e. are nomina oblita. Wakefield (1966) cites five specimens in MV that were from several dozen specimens listed as Mus subrufus by Krefft, presumably his original series. PA. 53 and 58 are possible syntypes of subrufus Krefft. Alternatively, the skull fragments could have been from a specimen sent to Krefft after publication of his account. Krefft received mammal specimens from a Mr and Mrs Hay from the “ Lower Murray ”, which are listed in AM annual reports from the second half of the 1860 s. In his newspaper article published 24 October, Krefft (1862) proposed the name Mus subrufus murrayensis for what he referred to as an undescribed species. He had read a paper in the previous month (10 September) in which he proposed the name Mus subrufus but this was not published until 1865 as a separate (Krefft, 1865 d), and the same paper appeared subsequently in Trans. Phil. Soc. N. S. W. (Krefft, 1866 b). Rodents originally registered in the Palmer Register as PA. 49 to at least PA. 54 resulted in inadvertent double registrations, including PA. 53, assigned to both Mus subrufus but also to Mus musavora Ramsay, see previous account for the latter.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFE3736E1B53FA92FD039619.taxon	discussion	Comments. Waite proposed villosissimus as a new replacement name for Mus longipilis Gould, 1854, see account for Mus longipilis. Waite (1898 a) provided an extended description of Mus longipilis, using a male and female obtained after the Horn Expedition by Spencer’s collectors. Waite provided skull and external measurements for both specimens (which have no type status), which he designated as A (male) and B (female). One of these specimens could be M. 1305, an unsexed skin mount that appears to have had the skull removed (but skull not subsequently found); entered in the M Register as “ Central Australia ”, presented by Baldwin Spencer, and registered in July 1898, originally as Mus villosissimus. Although external measurements of M. 1305 appear to be closest to Waite’s female, specimen B, Taylor & Horner (1973) concluded that it was his specimen A, based on skull measurements of the other specimen which they believed to be SAM M. 2410.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFE573691914FF7CFEB99220.taxon	discussion	Comments. Troughton based his description on two skin mounts that were part of the series originally identified by Waite (1898 a) as Mus nanus Gould, 1858. Troughton gave the registration numbers of the holotype and paratype but was unable to match either specimen to Waite’s original specimens. Although Waite (1898 a) stated that he had five specimens, he designated only four, as specimens A to D from Wycliffe Creek, Barrow Creek and Alice Springs, NT. Tate (1951 b) compared measurements given by Troughton and Waite and concluded that the holotype was Waite’s male specimen “ B ”, from Wycliffe Creek. However, the three external measurements provided by Troughton would seem to be applicable to several of Waite’s specimens, casting doubt on Tate’s determination of the type locality as Wycliffe Creek.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Under the heading “ specimens examined ”, he cites the registration number of the holotype and mentions other specimens collected by Troughton and Wright from Ooldea, both dried and spirit, and an unspecified number from Fisher and Rawlinna donated by Le Souef. No reference is made in the original description to an allotype or paratypes and no registration numbers are given other than the holotype. The specimens listed above match the series indicated by Troughton. Although none are labelled as paratypes either in the register or on specimen tags, we interpret Troughton’s “ specimens examined ” as the type series. Associated with this series are M. 4933 – 37, litter of five in alc., all from Ooldea, collected by Troughton and Wright. The only material located from Fisher is M. 26820 from owl pellets “ from blow hole ” near railway line.

03DD87C8FFE4736818ADFA8BFBB69150.taxon	description	Common name. Pilliga Mouse. Current name. Pseudomys pilligaensis Fox & Briscoe, 1980; following Musser & Carleton (2005). Taxonomic status needs clarification: Pilliga populations are thought to be the product of past hybridization between P. delicatulus (Gould, 1842) and P. novaehollandiae (Waterhouse, 1843) and P. pilligaensis Fox & Briscoe is sometimes treated as a junior synonym of P. delicatulus pumilus (e. g., Ford, 2008). Jackson & Groves (2015) treated it as a synonym of P. delicatulus but flagged the need for further taxonomic work.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFE4736B1B11F959FC7E90E8.taxon	discussion	Comments. There appear to be three adult specimens in the type series, although Troughton did not state the number of specimens, and cited the registration number only for the holotype. However M. 5195 is marked paratype, and M. 5100 is marked allotype in red ink and in Troughton’s hand, in the M Register. Three juveniles in alc. (M. 5101 – 03) in the AM Collection are included as paratypes because they are identified as waitei in the M Register and the specimen index card in Troughton’s hand. The three specimens are entered on one specimen index card with M. 5100 written in Troughton’s hand, with annotation “ Allotype ♀ (+ 3 juv) ” in red ink. Troughton states that the holotype and M. 5195 were registered from the “ old collection ” but this is likely to be of specimens registered in the 1890 s or possibly specimens donated by Spencer or Horn that had remained unregistered. In his description, Troughton mentions Horn Expedition specimens discussed by Waite (1896) under “ Mus gouldi? ” and remarked that his holotype M. 5194 is topotypical and possibly from Waite’s original series. Troughton also makes comparisons with two immature mounted specimens from Waite’s original series but does not give their registration numbers.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFD9735518E2FF7CFDDD910D.taxon	discussion	Comments. Troughton gave the registration number only for the holotype and did not refer to the existence of paratypes. Two specimens (M. 6111 and M. 6112), both collected at the same time as the holotype and from the type locality, are marked as paratypes in Troughton’s handwriting on the study skin tags and the type card index (although not in the register) and we recognize both as paratypes. He referred to a series of specimens collected by J. Taylor, but cited neither the total number of specimens in the series nor their registration numbers. Seven specimens listed above were collected by J. Taylor from the vicinity of Mt Hagen and are identified in the register and on specimen index cards as browni praecelsus in Troughton’s handwriting and some or all of these probably represent Troughton’s “ series ” collected by Taylor. Other than M. 5628, all are study skins in poor condition, apparently crudely prepared in the field, and we treat these as referred specimens.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFD9735518E8F96AFBAE9281.taxon	discussion	Comments. Troughton cites registration numbers of the holotype and allotype, and refers to the “ series of paratypes in the Australian Museum, collected and presented by Mr C. T. McNamara during 1929, when Government Resident in the Mount Lamington district. ” However, the majority of specimens, including the holotype and allotype were collected and presented by McNamara in 1927, not 1929. The paratype series is assumed to be some or all of the 10 specimens from the type locality that were registered from 1927 – 1929 as “ Rattus browni ” or “ possibly allied to Rattus browni ” and currently listed as R. exulans in the database. Troughton never amended the species or type status of specimens of this taxon after publication of his description, either in the register or type specimen card index, including, uncharacteristically, that of the holotype and allotype. The series collected by McNamara from Mt Lamington includes at least six known or suspected juvenile rats of uncertain taxonomic identity: M. 4136, M. 4137 – 38; M. 4141, M. 4688, M. 4170, but not all have yet been located in the collection. A handwritten label by Troughton for M. 4141 and M. 4170 gives the identification as “ Rattus sp., too immature for identification ”. Juveniles have been excluded as paratypes on the grounds of doubts expressed by the author regarding identification (Code, Article 72.4.1). It is possible that the paratype series of nine specimens listed above might increase following completion of a detailed inventory of alcohol Rattus in the AM Collection.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFD873571B5DFB9EFBB894EB.taxon	discussion	Comments. The number of paratypes is not given in the description, nor are registration numbers provided other than for the holotype and allotype. Although none of the remaining five specimens are marked as paratypes, either in the register, card index, or on specimen tags, they clearly belong to the type series because they are the only specimens with appropriate data — all are identified in the register as gestri bunae in Troughton’s handwriting. Troughton refers to the holotype, allotype and a spirit series from Dobodura, but does not explicitly state that he regards this as the type series. The type series (with registration numbers) was interpreted by Dennis & Menzies (1978) and Taylor et al. (1982) as being the six specimens listed above; all six are skins and skulls. One spirit specimen (M. 7071) from the type locality, entered in the register as an adult female Rattus gestri bunae in Troughton’s handwriting, was previously overlooked. Troughton refers to a spirit series from Dobodura obtained by the USA Typhus Commission, most of which were presumably converted to skins and skulls after publication of his account. Skull photographs of paratype M. 6975 are given by Flannery (1995 b).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFDD73511921FF7CFCCF92A5.taxon	discussion	Comments. The number of specimens in the type series is not indicated by Troughton, who cites registration numbers for the holotype and allotype only. The holotype is a male, although Troughton variously refers to it as male and female in the original account. Taylor et al. (1982) note that the type series is a composite of two species. They assigned the male holotype, and paratype female M. 6992, both of which they state are subadult, to R. jobiensis, and the paratypes M. 6994 and M. 6996 to Rattus exulans browni. However these authors do not mention M. 6995, the only spirit specimen, which is also Rattus exulans browni. We have not included M. 6996 (which is not indicated as a paratype by Troughton) in the type series because of the uncertain identity expressed by Troughton, who marked it in the register as “ R. browni (owiensis juv?) ”.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFDC73501894FF7CFEEC9272.taxon	discussion	Comments. Troughton cites registration numbers for the holotype and allotype but does not indicate the total number in the type series. However, he commented that the holotype and allotype were submitted with a series from Dobodura presented by the US Typhus Commission. Another four specimens of that series are identified as R. ringens dobodurae in Troughton’s handwriting in the register and these are the only specimens in the register with data matching that of the holotype. Although none of the four are marked as paratypes in the register or on specimen index cards, we treat them as such on the understanding that they would have been examined by Troughton during preparation of the manuscript.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFDF735318C6FF7CFD70923A.taxon	discussion	Comments. Troughton indicates a type series of six specimens, but gave registration numbers only for the holotype and allotype. However, he mentions four additional specimens, referred to as one male and three female paratypes; these are marked as paratypes in Troughton’s hand in the register. Dates of collection are not given for any of the type series in the register, but all would have been collected in 1934. Troughton (1935 c: 259) states that Poncelet was given a collecting kit when he visited the AM early in 1934. Photographs of holotype cranium and dentaries are given by Flannery (1995 c). Poncelet later sent five additional specimens (topotypes), M. 6491 – 92 and M. 6645 – 47, all entered in the M Register from “ Buin district, 10 miles inland ”, and registered between 1937 and 1939.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFDF73531880FA8AFBB0945E.taxon	discussion	Comments. Troughton indicates that the holotype was one of six specimens from the Mackay area presented by the then Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations. He gave the registration number of the holotype but does not make specific reference to an allotype or paratypes. Mahoney & Posamentier (1975: 335) recognize six specimens in the type series, citing registration numbers M 6405 – 10. There are only six specimens of this taxon registered from Mackay, all presented by the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations during 1938 and these are assumed to be the type series. The AM mammal type card index has two cards written in Troughton’s handwriting: M. 6405 marked as holotype then crossed out, and M. 6407, originally marked allotype, then crossed out and changed to holotype. The remaining four specimens are not labelled as paratypes in Troughton’s hand, either in the register, type card index, or on specimen labels but are recognized as paratypes on the basis that they are the only specimens with matching data in the register and likely to be the remainder of the series available to Troughton in preparation of his account.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFDE735218C4FF7CFD419050.taxon	discussion	Comments. Two female specimens from Dunk Island are mentioned in the original description, but De Vis did not indicate a holotype, cite registration numbers (they might not have been registered) or indicate the number of specimens in the type series. In correspondence from H. Longman (then Director, QM) associated with the exchange specimen M. 3133 (AM Archives AMS 9 Letters Received, L. 20 / 1922), Longman states that this specimen was “ material used by De Vis ”, implying that it is a type. The sex of this specimen, which was sent to the AM as a body in alcohol, is not indicated in associated documentation from the QM. It was entered in the M Register as a male by Troughton, who probably examined it as a spirit specimen. However, Troughton (1956) does not list type material for this taxon as being in the AM. Ronald Hamlyn-Harris was Director of the QM in 1914 when the specimen was registered. De Vis had ended his association with the QM in 1912. If Hamlyn-Harris was the collector then it is unlikely to be a syntype. In May 1914 Hamlyn-Harris spent two weeks on Dunk Island with Banfield (Quinnell, 1986: 210). Although we cannot exclude the possibility that he was the collector because we are not aware of his activities prior to 1914, it is possible that he simply registered a specimen found in the collection, and his name was inadvertently cited as collector. An adult female in the QM (J 22169) is cited as a syntype of Uromys banfieldi by Mahoney & Richardson (1988). It was registered in 1972, without collector or date and does not appear to have had a prior registration number (Heather Janetzki, QM, pers. comm. 2014). Three specimens from Dunk Island registered in the AM in 1909 and 1910 as Uromys banfieldi (M. 2063 – 64, M. 2102) are presumably topotypes because they were presented to the AM by E. J. Banfield. A fourth specimen collected by Banfield (M. 3110) was presented by Le Souef and registered in 1922.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFD0735C1B7FFE28FAD8916C.taxon	discussion	Comments. Troughton indicates a type series of 12 specimens but did not cite registration numbers other than for the holotype and allotype. He states “ total of twelve 8 males and 4 males ” but this should be 8 males and 4 females, judging from candidate specimens. The nine specimens above, in addition to the allotype, are not marked as paratypes but the original specimen labels and original alcohol jar labels have been replaced. They are here identified as paratypes as they are the only specimens with matching locality and collection dates. A further specimen listed as a paratype in AM exchange documents, M. 5792 male, is indicated as having been sent to MCZ in 1938.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFD0735F1B66F960FBEF95CE.taxon	discussion	Comments. Known only from the holotype (Leary, Hamilton & Helgen, 2008). Considered to be extinct (e. g., Flannery, 1995 c) but listed as Data Deficient on IUCN Red List, in part due to uncertainty about whether this taxon is a full species, or a subspecies of N. major (Dobson, 1877), see Leary, Hamilton & Helgen (2008) and Helgen et al. (2009: 29). Troughton notes that the specimen was presented with other specimens of bats and fish but the locality was not recorded, other than Santa Cruz Group. Flannery (1995 c) suspected that the holotype was from Nendo Island, but without citing reasons.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

They provided a description of the vegetation of the type locality, a long abandoned village site which they identify as Indidaka, and correctly indicated as being northwest of Patutiva village, not north as stated subsequently in the original description. Tissue samples of the holotypes of P. pulchra and P. taki were included in the electrophoretic analysis of Ingleby & Colgan (2003) who concluded that both taxa were closely related, with differences at only 4 % of the 25 allozyme loci assessed.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

The only data in the original Palmer entry for this specimen is “ Pteropus alboscapulatus New Ireland ” with no indication of type status. Flannery (1993 b) provided a photograph of PA. 1271, which he referred to as the holotype and in so doing, designated it as the lectotype (Article 74.6, the Code). Condition. Skin mount faded, otherwise in good condition. Probably male, no penis visible but no nipples visible and darkly pigmented skin appears to be the remains of the scrotal sac. Type locality. “ Duke of York Island ” (Ramsay), but not localized beyond “ Bismarck Archipelago ”, Papua New Guinea. The specimen was collected by the Rev. George Brown, who did not record locality data. Paralectotype. PA. 1270, appears to be male (no penis visible but no nipples either and many of the male skins lack a penis), skin mount, skull in situ, “ Brown ” is written on the skin label.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFD573581929FCB2FD859641.taxon	discussion	Comments. Ramsay did not indicate the number of specimens examined but referred only to a male specimen. It is likely that the specimen had not received a registration number at the time of publication. The AM annual report for 1877 (Ramsay, 1878) lists “ 1 Chieropteruges [sic] alboscapulatus ” purchased from Rev. Brown but unfortunately the annual report for 1876 does not list individual bat species obtained from Brown. Three specimens, PA. 1270 – 72 were originally entered as “ alboscapulatus ” from New Ireland in the Palmer Register and these specimens are likely to be part, if not all, of Ramsay’s original series. It is likely that Ramsay had examined all three specimens because a specimen list accompanying correspondence (AMArchivesAMS 7 Letters Received, C: 10.76.03) indicates that the three were received as skins from Brown in the same shipment in 1876. We have not yet located PA. 1272, which could have been sent in exchange to another institution, or reregistered at a later time. Two specimens of this species (M. 2249 and M. 2417) were registered in 1912 and 1913 respectively from the “ old collection ”, with no data. The incomplete associated data does not include prior registration numbers and it is possible that they had not been registered previously.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

PA. 1260,? female, study skin, skull apparently removed (not found), skin tag states “ number 9 ”, October 1876, Rev. George Brown. Possibly adult based on the size of the skin. Label states “ skull? ”, but the skull has not been recorded during inventory and is unlikely to be in the Collection. The sex (female) was based on the appearance of the skin: no obvious penis, but the wings are folded and nipples cannot be assessed; PA. 1261,? female, skull (Fig. 51), study skin, Bismarck Archipelago, Rev. George Brown, register indicates “ Fruit Bat new number 11 ”. Probably sub-adult, based on size and nulliparous condition of nipples. PA. 1262,? male, skin mount with skull in situ, skin label indicates from George Brown, Bismarck Archipelago.

03DD87C8FFD7735A1883FF7CFE9E968B.taxon	discussion	Comments. Andersen (1912: 389) noted that Pteropus rufus Ramsay is a preoccupied name and is a junior homonym. Pteropus rufus É. Geoffroy, 1803 a occurs in Madagascar and Pteropus rufus Tiedemann, 1808 is a junior synonym of Pteropus niger (Kerr, 1792), see Simmons (2005). The original material used by Ramsay as the basis of his description of rufus does not appear to have been reported in the literature, other than Andersen (1912: 389), who noted that several “ cotypes ” were in the AM. We believe the three specimens listed above are likely to be from Ramsay’s original series, based on matching locality, date, and collector, combined with limited information written on old specimen tags. Ramsay based his description of cranial and external morphology on a single adult female specimen, but does not give field or registration numbers, or indicate the number of specimens examined. However he stated that “ several specimens ” of this new species were amongst a series of specimens obtained from Rev George Brown in 1875 and on that basis were are assuming that he based his description on several specimens. These specimens were received at the AM in October 1876 (AM Archives AMS 7 Letters Received, C: 10.76.03), but were later incorrectly reported as having been purchased during 1877 (Ramsay, 1878). Collection dates were not given, but would have been sometime in the previous year, given that Brown first visited the Bismarck Archipelago in August 1875 (Brown, 1908). We suspect that Ramsay’s original adult female is amongst the three specimens listed here, and if so, it would be PA. 1260, the skull of which has not been located. Cranial measurements of PA. 1261 are smaller than those given for the adult female of Ramsay’s account. The rear of the braincase of PA. 1261 has been cut off and has a greatest length of 73.5 mm, but greatest skull length could not have been as long as 84 mm given by Ramsay; zygomatic breadth is 38.4 vs 45 mm, and “ length of lower jaw from condyle ” is 61.6 vs 67.5 mm.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Flannery (1995 c) and subsequent authors considered P. temminckii Peters, 1867 b and P. capistratus Peters, 1876 b to be separate species, with ennisae as a subspecies of the latter. Almeida et al. (2014) suggest that P. capistratus and P. ennisae are best treated as sister species based on marked morphological differences combined with a level of gene sequence divergence more typical of interspecific differences.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFC973451910FC2DFCC590F3.taxon	discussion	Comments. This specimen is a probably a syntype; if not, then it is a topotype identified by Peters but not part of his original series. Andersen (1912) looked at 10 “ cotypes ”, but Peters original description does not appear to indicate the total number of specimens examined. Turni & Kock (2008) list 13 syntypes. The original label of AM B. 4456 has a note in German that the skull was extracted from the skin and lost. The original label indicates male, but the skin is clearly that of a female. The B Register entry of October 1884 does not list any accompanying correspondence for this specimen, and it is possible that Finsch delivered it in person, given that he was in Sydney in 1884 and noted as a visitor to the 27 August 1884 meeting of the Linnean Society of NSW (Anonymous, 1884). A number of biological specimens were subsequently registered in the B Register in November 1884 as an exchange from “ (Dr Peters) via Dr O. Finsch ”.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Peters based his description on a single male specimen for which he provided external but no cranial measurements and gave the locality as “ Australia ”. Troughton (1925) traced the history of PA. 137, which was received in exchange by the Australian Museum in 1871 from F. G. Waterhouse, South Australia. According to Troughton, this was the specimen examined by Peters. The specimen was sent by Waterhouse to John Gould, who forwarded it to Peters.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFC973441BA9FBB8FF2C9192.taxon	materials_examined	? Holotype. M. 2349 by subsequent determination by Troughton (1925). Female adult, study skin (Fig. 52), skull not found and not sighted for decades. Collection date not stated, assumed to be 1875 based on original account. Registered on 16 December 1913 from the “ old collection ”, with the M Register entry written in pencil “ skin,? skull ” but no previous registration numbers indicated. Specimen obtained from Ralph Hargrave (Ramsay, 1876 b). The specimen is tied to cardboard with its dorsal side visible. An old label that probably predates Troughton’s curatorship is fixed to the rear of the cardboard, and states: “ Taphozous hargravei Ramsey [sic], with skull ”, but the skull does not seem to be in the collection. The M Register entry against M. 2349 states “ Skin- 147, Skull? ”, implying either that the skull was not located when registered, or not located during a subsequent early 20 th century inventory.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFC973441BA9FBB8FF2C9192.taxon	discussion	Comments. Ramsay described external morphology and provided detailed external measurements for a “ dried skin ” that he stated to be “ much mutilated ”, which also suggests that Ramsay had a single specimen on which to describe the species. Likewise, Ogilby (1892) stated that the species is based on a dry skin “ in very bad condition ” and implied that the taxon was based on one specimen, although it is not clear whether Ogilby actually examined the specimen. Ramsay’s detailed description of the entire dentition suggests that he had examined an extracted skull but he did not provide cranial measurements. Ramsay did not cite any accompanying registration number as the AM did not assign specimen numbers at that time. Troughton (1925) gives external and cranial measurements for a specimen (M. 2349) he believed to be Ramsay’s original, and stated that Ramsay had mistakenly thought that the specimen was male. The condition of the study skin M. 2349 (Fig. 52) seems highly at variance with Ramsay’s statement concerning the condition of the skin and raises doubts about the correctness of Troughton’s attribution. The cranial measurements of the type given by Troughton (1925) imply an intact skull, but the skull has evidently not been sighted for decades.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFCC73401B1DFF0DFB709391.taxon	discussion	Comments. Troughton believed this specimen was a “ co-type ” and he marked it as such in the M Register but there is no record of an original field number or NMB registration number. Although from the original series collected by Sarasin and Roux, we are not sure if it is a syntype. Hill (1971) had a similar problem with a specimen of this taxon marked “ co-type ” in the BMNH. Revilliod (1914) did not designate a holotype but his description is based on nine specimens for which he lists registration numbers and individual measurements. The nine syntypes and four skulls listed by Revilliod are listed as being in the NMB by Oakeley (1998). Multiple specimens are registered under some numbers and she lists a total of 16 specimens, all listed as syntypes. The implication from Oakeley (1998) is that all specimens were listed as “ typus ” without an indication of those used in Revilliod’s description.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFCC73431B6AFA8FFB8A92DE.taxon	discussion	Comments. Troughton mentions “ a series of more than 200 paratypes ”, but gives registration numbers for only three in his account: the allotype and the smallest (M. 3632) and largest (M. 3627) paratypes. The allotype registration number is mistakenly given as M. 3636 (which is a male) in the table accompanying his account. Troughton registered 187 specimens of this species and all are accounted for. If the total number of specimens sent to Troughton exceeded 200, it seems that not all were originally registered in the AM Collection, or records might not have been made of material sent to other Institutions, e. g., those send to the QM. Ingleby & Colgan (2003) demonstrated fixed differences at 15 % of loci between C. jobensis colonicus (Thomas, 1906 b) from Australia and solomonis and concluded that they were separate species. They suspected that solomonis was a distinct species, but were unable to conclusively resolve its status in relation to C. bregullae (Felten, 1964) from Vanuatu and Fiji, and to nominate C. jobensis (Miller, 1902) because they did not have samples of the latter taxon.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFCE73421883FF1DFDB29304.taxon	discussion	Comments. Described from the holotype only. Few additional specimens of Myotis have been reported from the Solomon Islands and the species taxonomy of all Australasian Myotis needs further revision. Kitchener et al. (1995) who apparently did not examine the holotype of solomonis, suspected that Myotis from the Solomon Islands were a distinct taxon on the basis of the two specimens they examined but they referred these to M. m. moluccarum, pending a more detailed assessment. Phillips & Birney (1968) synonymized Anamygdon with Myotis.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

Both AM specimens were registered in 1966 from the “ old collection ” but previous registration numbers were not given and they might not have been registered. The collector and collection date are not recorded in the M Register. One possibility is that “ Saunders ” refers to E. H. Saunders, a professional collector who collected birds for the AM on Lord Howe c. October to December 1887 (Hindwood, 1940: 16), which appears to be the only visit he made to the Island (Ian McAllan, pers. comm. 2014).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

(1995) and agree with Helgen (2007) in recognizing M. moluccarum (Thomas, 1915 b).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFC0734F1B6FFC6AFD9B96CE.taxon	discussion	Comments. Troughton indicates a type series of six specimens including the holotype, but gives registration numbers only for the holotype and allotype. Four specimens are labelled as paratypes on specimen labels and in the M Register in what appears to be Troughton’s handwriting. M. 5807 is not labelled as a paratype, either on the specimen label or register, but is assumed to be the sixth specimen of Troughton’s series and regarded as a paratype — it was registered on the same day as the holotype and is the only specimen located with matching dates. In his original account, Troughton refers to a specimen from Isabel and three from Ugi Island (Solomon Islands), which he regarded as conforming well to his type series. These specimens are likely to include M. 3583 from Isabel, and A. 16992 and A. 16995 from Ugi (all amended to Pipistrellus ponceleti in Troughton’s hand in the registers) and they are treated as referred specimens. Five topotype specimens in alcohol collected in the Buin district in 1938 were presented by Poncelet and identified as P. ponceleti by Troughton: M. 6533 – 34 and M. 6658 – 60.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFC3734F188DFB75FAAA9634.taxon	discussion	Comments. Kitchener & Caputi (1985) provide detailed measurements of the holotype and photographs of the holotype skull (as Scotorepens greyii (J. Gray, 1843 )). This entity is usually regarded as a synonym of S. greyii, following Kitchener & Caputi (1985). Koopman (1984), who examined the types, placed caprenus with balstoni (Thomas, 1906 c) rather than greyii. An extensive examination of skull morphology within the genus by HEP also suggests that caprenus more closely resembles S. balstoni than S. greyii in skull proportions and morphology, as originally proposed by Troughton.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

G. Masters and G. Barnard, registered in October 1881. This specimen was possibly obtained from Coomooboolaroo Station, Dawson River, owned by the Barnard family where Masters was based while on a collecting trip. However, the A Register entry is ambiguous which is presumably why Troughton gave the locality simply as Dawson River. The entry of Dawson River against A. 10630 in the Register is followed by Coomooboolaroo Station on the next line and it is unclear if this represents two localities or one locality applied to subsequent specimen entries. However, the specimen index card has Dawson River only.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFC3734E1BB3FA50FAEB9350.taxon	discussion	Comments. Description based on two specimens. Recent authors assign this taxon to S. greyii, but its status remains confused as reflected by consignment by different authors to either S. orion, S. balstoni (e. g., Koopman, 1984) or S. greyii, underscoring the need for a complete revision of the genus. In the most comprehensive assessment of the genus, Kitchener & Caputi (1985), who provide detailed measurements of the holotype, considered greyii to be a complex of taxa. They were unsure whether to assign aquilo to S. sanborni, or to their concept of S. greyii. They noted that aquilo shared characters of both taxa (Kitchener & Caputi, 1985: 139), but they settled for synonymizing aquilo with S. greyii.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFC573491BBAFDDEFABA9058.taxon	discussion	Comments. We have not located this name in the literature but it could be regarded as a valid description. Krefft’s verbatim account is: “ Smallest of the tribe — supposing that my specimen, which is still unique, is adult. The skull is not in a condition to be examined. General colour dark, sepia brown, almost black, tail about an inch in length; fur very coarse. Found on some of the islands of Bass’s Straits, I believe King’s Island. ” The identity of this taxon cannot be determined until material assigned by Krefft is located, but it is doubtful if such material, possibly a single specimen, has survived. However, a specimen index card, written in old writing likely in the first decade of the 20 th century, states: “ Antechinus brevicaudata [sic] skull, no data ”. Possible contenders for the identity of this entity, other than it being a valid but unrecognized taxon, include A. swainsonii (Waterhouse, 1840) or A. minimus (É. Geoffroy, 1803 b) and possibly Sminthopsis leucopus (J. Gray, 1842). Krefft (1872 b) based his concepts of Antechinus taxa on Gould (1863 b), and recognized A. swainsonii and A. affinus (Gray, 1841) (= A. minimus (É. Geoffroy, 1803 b )), both of which Krefft listed as being from Tasmania.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

We have not found any entry for an echidna in the Palmer Register that could have been Krefft’s original specimen, however it is likely that not all specimens were registered by Palmer. Krefft’s concept of four echidna species involved what he called the Tasmanian “ setosa ”, Southern, i. e. Victorian “ hystrix ”; Eastern “ orientalis ”, the common echidna of NSW, and the northern, or Cape York echidna “ corealis ”. Krefft provided a brief description of orientalis and mentions a large individual from NSW. The only measurements given by Krefft are for a skin “ 1 foot 9 inches total length, and 9 inches wide ”, which is a large specimen that equals the size of the largest 20 th century skin mount now in the collection.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFC4734B1B72FB62FDB195D1.taxon	discussion	Comments. It seems that the holotype of arboricola had been misplaced by the 1890 s. No authority who assigned this taxon to R. rattus, the first being Waite (1898 b), was able to examine Macleay’s original specimen but have relied instead, on Krefft’s description in Gould (1863 a) and material in the BMNH sent by Waite. Tate (1951 b) cited the “ type ” of arboricola as B. M. No. 97.11.23.1., the same specimen examined by Taylor & Horner (1973: 39). There are two specimens listed in the BMNH Register, BM 1897.11.23.1 – 2, both are female and listed as Mus, skins and skulls, collected 22 November 1897 from Sydney, presented by Edgar R. Waite, Australian Museum, Sydney. The associated note in the register reads: “ Specimens of ‘ Mus arboricola ’ referred to in P. Z. S. 1897. Sent alive to Zool. Gardens, killed on arrival. ” (Paula Jenkins, BMNH, pers. comm. 18 February 2014). These specimens were examined by Thomas and discussed in P. Z. S. by Waite (1898 b). Numerous specimens identified as Hapalotis arboricola were received by the AM during the 1860 s, e. g., six Hapalotis arboricola are listed as a donation from W. Macleay in the AM annual report for 1868. Poor specimen documentation in the original entries made by Palmer in the P Register obfuscate attempts to establish which, if any, of these specimens is Krefft’s original specimen. Although often attributed to Gould, authorship of Hapalotis arboricola rests with Krefft.

Ogilby (1838 a) proposed the species on the basis of drawings and notes supplied by Mitchell, which Ogilby states were based on a specimen that had already been lodged in the AM. Only one specimen was obtained on the Murray River, NSW, by Sir Thomas Mitchell (Mahoney & Ride, 1988 c). Krefft (1864 a: 35) lists specimen “ b ”, as a skull of the original specimen obtained by Mitchell, and states (Krefft, 1870) that he found the skull “ 10 years ago ” but that he had never sighted the skin of Mitchell’s specimen, which he assumed had deteriorated through neglect prior to his curatorship. Ogilby (1892) lists the type as being in the AM Collection, but it is not clear if he actually sighted the specimen or drew from Krefft’s catalogue, given that much of his work appeared to be a desktop study (see Iredale & Troughton, 1934). Troughton (1932 d: 179) believed that the holotype had disappeared from the collection.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

From the banks of the Murray ” in his “ Systematic List of Animals ” that were “ deposited in the Australian Museum ” but without a description. The number of specimens obtained by Mitchell has previously been overlooked. McKay (1988 b) states “ probably holotype, AM, not found ”. The three specimens listed by Bennett (1837) under his species nu. 14 are the only possum specimens listed as presented by Mitchell other than nu. 18, a possum from “ Glenelg River ” (Victoria), and are likely to be the original specimens of Mitchell’s “ Whitebellied flying squirrel ”. Bennett lists “ Habitat, Forests near the Murray ”, but he used “ habitat ” to refer to the collecting localities of specimens, as stated at the beginning of his catalogue. Nineteenth and twentieth century authors (e. g., Iredale & Troughton, 1934) synonymized this taxon, often tentatively (e. g., Gray, 1841; Krefft, 1864 a), with Petaurus taguanoides Desmarest, 1817 b (= Petauroides volans (Kerr, 1792), the Greater Glider). This has been rejected on the basis that Mitchell did not pass through the distribution of Petauroides volans, with Petaurus norfolcensis given preference for the identity of Petaurus leucogaster (McKay 1988 b, but as incertae sedis; Jackson & Groves, 2015). However, we note that Mitchell crossed the Murray River downstream (west) from the current city ofAlbury on his third (1836) expedition. Albury is close to the current western distributional boundary of the Greater Glider (see distribution map of Burbidge & Woinarski, 2016) and it is conceivable that the species distribution was more extensive along the riparian corridor of the Murray River at the time of Mitchell’s visit, before extensive European modification from intensive clearing and grazing by stock.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FFC6734A18E0FF7CFEBC93B8.taxon	discussion	Comments. This taxon appears to have been overlooked, or ignored, and we have not found any mention of it in the taxonomic literature. We report the likely identity of Krefft’s original material for the first time. Krefft, who called this taxon the “ Rufous Phalanger ”, cited external and cranial criteria to distinguish it from the three other species of Phalangista that he recognized: “ vulpina ” (= T. vulpecula), “ canina ” (= T. caninus (W. Ogilby, 1836 )) and “ fuliginosus ” (= T. vulpecula). Krefft’s description of cranial criteria demonstrates that he had examined a cleaned skull of his proposed new species. If both of Krefft’s original specimens were used for public display, the original tags could have been removed at any time prior to the second half of the 1980 s. Alternatively, it is possible that they were exchanged with other institutions.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

At least one was a skull and skeleton on public display, and there was also one or more skins. Probable syntypes include PA. 786, destroyed in 1890 as it was “ rotten ” (presumably a skin) but whether it was a skin mount or skeleton is not recorded; PA. 796, “ NSW, flat [= unmounted] skeleton ”; not yet sighted but a detailed inventory of skeletal collection has not been completed.

03DD87C8FFC6734A18E7FB02FABB9373.taxon	discussion	Comments. The usual citation for this taxon is Krefft (1873 d), i. e. his letter to the Zoological Society, dated June 1872, published in May 1873 and sometimes incorrectly cited as 1872. However, this is preceded by his newspaper account (Krefft, 1872 i) which contained a detailed species description and provided useful background information not found in his later account. He specified cranial and dental differences between assimilis and other eastern NSW wombats that he regarded as “ platyrhinus ” but did not indicate whether photographs of wombat crania that accompanied his communication to London included any examples of assimilis. Krefft (1872 j) provided drawings of the upper incisors of assimilis and “ platyrhinus ”. Krefft (1872 i) listed the total wombat holdings of the AM Collection of all species as: eight adult skins, six skeletons, 14 skulls and three young in alcohol, and implied that he had only a limited number of specimens that he assigned to assimilis. Less than a decade later, Palmer entered 25 wombat specimens in the Palmer Register that are a close match with Krefft’s list. The two specimens listed above could either be syntypes if they were available to Krefft in or before 1872, or referred specimens assigned to assimilis by Krefft if they were obtained during the two years between publication of the name and his removal from the AM, in September 1874. It is likely that Secretary Palmer registered whatever species identification and data accompanied the specimens, and much less likely that Krefft’s nemesis and curatorial successor, Ramsay, whose main focus was birds, would have provided the taxonomic identifications for the wombats.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF3973B41C32FCA3FD38967E.taxon	discussion	Comments. Iredale (1937) published extracts of notebooks written by John MacGillivray and his letters to E. P. Ramsay in 1865 – 66 that included a notebook description of a new species and genus — Oligotomus australis — along with drawings of the species (not reproduced by Iredale, 1937). The description was pasted into MacGillivray’s notebook, apparently after a letter dated July 1865. Iredale did not comment on the likely identity of this name, later placed in the synonymy of Scoteanax rueppellii by Kitchener & Caputi (1985). MacGillivray stated that his proposed new genus Oligotomus was tentative, suspecting that it might belong in the genus Nycticejus. MacGillivray stated that “ Previously had sent some [bats] to Melbourne [McCoy Museum of Victoria], including numerous specimens of a largish one not belonging to any recorded Australian genus … They had it previously in the Sydney Museum [= AM] marked and published in the catalogue [Krefft 1864 a] as Vespertilio macropus [= Myotis macropus], a bat to which it bears neither generic nor specific resemblance ” (Iredale, 1937: 46). Krefft (1871 d) evidently recognized this taxon as Nycticejus australis, commenting that he did not believe there were any endemic Australian bat genera. Krefft’s publication of the name is a nomen nudum because he did not provide a description. MacGillivray’s description of a forearm length of 2.1 inches (= 53 mm) and “ upper incisors … only two in number and not four ” equates to Scoteanax.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF3973B5193AFDF7FBA39436.taxon	discussion	Comments. Most previous assessments of this taxon have overlooked the likelihood that locality data might not have been associated with the specimen (s) when Ramsay described the holotype. It is likely that Ramsay’s type material was originally housed either in the AM, his private collection, or in William Macleay’s private collection. Another possibility is that it was on loan to Ramsay from the Mason Brothers, a Sydney-based natural history dealership that was handling Goldie’s material during purchase negotiations with the AM throughout c. 1880 – 1884. In this event, Goldie or his agents might have sold the specimen to an unknown collector. In his introductory remarks, Ramsay (1883) states that he was reporting on bird and mammal specimens collected by Hunstein, a large collection obtained via Mason Brothers, and on material “ recently ” added to the collections of William Macleay, the latter evidently purchased from Andrew Goldie and obtained either by him or those who collected on his expeditions. Ramsay did not provide collector or locality information for this rodent, nor did he do so for several bird taxa that he described in the same paper. This might simply have been an oversight by Ramsay, who frequently displayed an ad hoc approach to inclusion of such data in describing new bird taxa. Alternatively, Ramsay might not have known either the identity of the collector or the collecting locality for this specimen. Boles (2012: 224) notes that some of the 1000 or so bird specimens obtained and registered by the AM in March 1883, the “ Mason Brothers collection ”, had limited accompanying data because the specimen tags had been removed. Mammal specimens were also purchased from Mason Brothers at this time but these appear not to have been registered until some years later. We have not yet located archival lists of mammals purchased by Ramsay during this period. Thomas (1913) made a passing remark that the type had disappeared. Despite several attempts, Troughton (1937 a: 125) failed to locate type material either in the AM or in the Macleay Museum, nor did Groves & Flannery (1994) who also searched both collections. Previous searches presumably were looking for a specimen labelled as being from the Astrolabe Ranges; however, if the type material has no locality data, as we suspect, future searches should focus on specimens without locality data. Although the type locality has often been cited as “ the foot of, and on the slopes of, Mount Astrolabe Range … ” (e. g., Troughton, 1937 a; Groves & Flannery, 1994), Ramsay’s account does not provide a type locality for this taxon. As noted above, the material reported in the original paper came from a wide range of localities throughout the Papua New Guinea mainland or further afield, e. g., some bird specimens described by Ramsay in the same paper came from the “ Island of D’Entrecasteaux ”. Ramsay evidently believed that the type specimen came from Papua New Guinea, given the specific name he applied. Further discussion of this issue will be presented elsewhere.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF3873B418B0FE43FB5B96CE.taxon	materials_examined	Syntypes. Type material for this taxon has not been reported. As detailed below, it is likely that Ramsay used more than one specimen for his description and that a syntype series once existed. Syntypes are likely to have originally been in the collections of W. Macleay, so possibly now in the Macleay Museum, in the AM, or in Ramsay’s private collection. It is possible that syntypes were sent to other institutions by Ramsay.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF3873B418B0FE43FB5B96CE.taxon	discussion	Comments. Past interpretations of Ramsay’s description have assumed a holotype (e. g., Lyne & Mort, 1981; Mahoney & Ride, 1988 c) but it is likely that his description involved syntypes. Ramsay’s description focused on a female specimen obtained near Cooktown but the fact that he gave the distribution as Rockingham Bay [Cardwell] to Endeavour River [Cooktown] suggests that he was aware of other specimens. More ambiguous is his statement that “ For the present I prefer to place the specimens, showing these peculiarities, as a variety [Ramsay’s emphasis] of P. macroura … ” — this could refer to either existing or future material. Troughton (as Anonymous, 1927) states that “ the specimen ” of torosus described by Ramsay was collected during the Chevert Expedition and was in the Macleay Museum, although whether this is based on first hand knowledge or surmise is unclear. We are not aware that the Chevert party collected at Endeavour River and it seems more likely that the type or syntypes were obtained on collecting trips to the region around that time by several different collectors. Edward Spalding collected material for Macleay at Endeavour River from June to October 1874 (Whittell, 1954), and in July of that year sent specimens that Macleay termed “ skins of a new bandicoot ” (Fletcher, 1929: 230). Ramsay also obtained mammals from the Rockingham Bay district and visited the area himself on a number of occasions, e. g., in 1874 (Ramsay, 1876 c). It appears that all taxonomic assessments of this taxon have relied on Ramsay’s original description and that the types have remained unlocated.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF3B73B71B88FDE2FB529163.taxon	discussion	Comments. The entry made by E. Palmer in the Palmer Register that PA. 23 was “ Gould’s type ” probably reflects the loose use of the term “ type ” by early AM staff because in plate and text Gould (1863 b) attributes authorship of Mus fuscipes to Waterhouse. The skull of PA. 23 was extracted from the skin in 1965 for the study by Taylor & Horner (1967), who designated a neotype for Rattus fuscipes and provide a detailed assessment of the issue. They believed that the specimen could have been the basis of Gould’s account and sketch of Mus fuscipes in his monograph. Taylor & Horner (1973) refer PA. 23 (as AM 23) to R. lutreolus lutreolus and discuss the confusion surrounding the application and differing concepts of the names Mus fuscipes Waterhouse (now Rattus fuscipes fuscipes), Mus assimilis Gould, 1858 (now Rattus fuscipes assimilis) and Mus lutreolus J. Gray, 1841 (now Rattus lutreolus lutreolus). They note that prior to Thomas (1906 d), all authors followed the mistaken views of Gray and Gould in applying the name fuscipes to specimens of what are now recognized as Rattus lutreolus.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF3B73B61B89F970FE38940B.taxon	discussion	Comments. This taxon is a nomen nudum as recognized by Iredale & Troughton (1934) and Taylor & Horner (1973). The latter authors identified PA. 22 as Rattus lutreolus velutinus, and suggest that it is Krefft’s “ type ”, on the basis that it is the only such specimen collected by Masters, that is labelled as being from Ouse River. A list of specimens lodged in the AM from Masters during the period December 1866 to March 1867 includes “ 3 Mus tasmaniensis ” (Krefft, 1868 b). We have not located other specimens. Krefft appears never to have published a description of this taxon and it is not mentioned in his book (Krefft, 1871 a). The first mention by Krefft that he had a new rodent species Mus tasmaniensis appears to be his paper in the Trans. Roy. Soc. of NSW (Krefft, 1868 c) and the manuscript, with slight modifications, manifested on another occasion in 1868, as a privately published pamphlet Notes on the Fauna of Tasmania, which was reproduced in 1869 as an appendix in the Papers Proc. Roy. Soc. Tas., see Whitley (1961).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF3A73B618F5FC93FD0B91F4.taxon	discussion	Comments. Gray (1871 b: 85) listed a name “ Globiocephalus australis ” only in relation to material in the “ Museum of Sydney ” (= AM). He did not provide a description and the name is a nomen nudum, and listed by Hershkovitz (1966) as a synonym of Globicephala melaena melaena (Traill) [variant spelling of melas, see Jackson & Groves, 2015]; not cited by Scott (1873) or Iredale & Troughton (1934). Four skulls registered in the Palmer Register possibly represent the material referred to by Gray as being in the AM Collection. Although of no nomenclatural significance, they are of possible historical value and are mentioned here. Three of these are entered with no generic or species entry, locality, date or collector: PA. 316, PA. 317 and PA. 321. A fourth, PA. 324, a lower jaw, from Tasmania, was donated by “ Dr Cox ” in April 1871. All have been located in the collection except PA. 317, which may be represented by an old Globicephala skull with no number, writing or labels. (Globiocephalus Gray, 1846 is an emendation of Globicephala Lesson, 1828, see Hershkovitz (1966: 90 )).	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF3A73B618F8F8F0FBD59461.taxon	discussion	Comments. The specimen was on loan from the AM to Thomas during the preparation of his taxonomic revision of the genus. In a letter dated 18 March 1915 to the AM (AM Archives AMS 9 Letters Received, L. 104 / 1915), Thomas indicated that he used the AM material in his generic revision; he listed M. 1323 as N. daedalus and on that basis we regard it as potentially part of the original series. Thomas (1915 a) stated that he examined specimens of N. daedalus from Port Essington, NT and Melville Island in addition to the type locality of Daly River, but does not indicate the number of specimens examined. Parnaby (2009) demonstrated that several taxa are likely to be included within what is currently recognized as “ daedalus ”. However, M. 1323 is regarded here as N. arnhemensis and is smaller than specimens assigned to the daedalus complex, e. g., forearm length = 37.7 mm, compared to 40.0 – 46.0 mm for adult female daedalus. This indicates that the type series of N. daedalus is a species composite and although likely to be part of the original series, M. 1323 is no longer considered here to be a paratype.	en	Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy, Divljan, Anja (2017): Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney.

03DD87C8FF3A73B11BB0FC7CFA6396A6.taxon	discussion	Comments. We suspect that Thomas based his account of P. imogene on one specimen, and if so, M. 2561 would have no type status. This specimen was examined and identified by Thomas, who arranged for it to be sent to the AM in March 1915 (AM Archives AMS 9 Letters Received, L. 104 / 1915). Thomas does not explicitly state the number of specimens used in his description, although the opening sentence of his original account might imply that he had one specimen. The adult female holotype 1891.9.10.2 and one other (1891.9.10.1) are the only specimens registered in the BMNH; the specimen now at the AM had not been registered (Paula Jenkins, BMNH, pers. comm. 18 February 2014). The latter two specimens might be regarded as paratypes on the grounds that they could have been examined by Thomas. However, it seems odd that Thomas did not mention additional specimens in his account, given that he was proposing a distinct new genus and species. Further, he had a clear understanding of type specimen nomenclature and the concept of a type series, and had earlier proposed the term “ para-type ” (Thomas, 1893). Thomas either became aware of additional specimens after preparing his species account, had decided to restrict the type series to the holotype, or simply neglected to mention additional specimens used in his account. Hughes et al. (2014) report the first specimen of this species to be collected since the original series in 1890. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
