Ramsay described an adult female skin. He does not describe a skull and there is no indication that he examined an extracted skull. The few dental measurements given could have been taken from a skull in situ. Although Ramsay’s description focused on a female from Endeavour River, it is likely that it was based on several specimens, although his description is ambiguous. He stated that specimens that he regarded to be P. m. torosus were from Rockingham Bay north to the Endeavour River. Consequently, syntypes are assumed here although previous literature references imply that Ramsay based the description on one specimen. For example, Mahoney & Ride (1988) concluded that the type series of I. m. torosus consisted of one specimen (the holotype), whereabouts unknown		2												Endeavour River	The	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/B42F87F7FF94152EFF7EFF139CEF8841	MaterialCitation

An old loose paper tag states: “ Perameles moresbyensis, Rams. Port Moresby ♂ ”. A subadult skull with associated label of “ temp M. 474 ” has been mistakenly matched with the skin, given that the skull is in situ. That skull is possibly male based on large canines, and is I. macrourus, but the subspecies has not been determined (Dr Kenny Travouillon, Western Australian Museum, pers. comm. 2016), i. e. it is not yet clear if the skull was from Papua New Guinea or Australia.

The MAMU 1890 s Catalogue lists only three specimens under “ Perameles moresbyensis ”: an adult male and female listed as “ stuffed ” and an adult female “ skin ”, the latter perhaps a flat skin. Skulls are not listed nor are alcohol specimens. Skulls were usually not listed separately in the Catalogue unless the specimen consisted of a skull only. Currently there are two dry skins in the Collection, along with four specimens in alcohol (M. 896 – M. 899). Although all four alcoholic skins are marked “ Port Moresby ” in the original entries to the 1960 s Mammal Register, locality attribution of associated skulls requires verification due to possible incorrect association of I. macrourus skulls from northern Australian. Reliable diagnostic cranial or dental characters that discriminate I. macrourus from Australia and Papua New Guinea have not yet been defined (Dr Kenny Travouillon, pers. comm. 2016). While it is possible that the 1890 s Catalogue had overlooked the four alcohol specimens, the data and skulls might be mis-match to all four, and two of the specimens were registered twice		2										Australia		While	Skulls	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/B42F87F7FF8A152DFF7EFA7A9A968B3D	MaterialCitation

Plate 20 of the original account illustrates an intact skull, and plate and text clearly indicate that the permanent premolars and last (fourth) molars were fully erupted. The illustrated skull must have been extracted from the female skin, although it is unclear if the skull has been extracted from the skin now labelled M. 383. Miklouho-Maclay stated that the skull and teeth were badly corroded by poor preservation, a characteristic of material obtained from Andrew Goldie, who often stored specimens in corrosive brine. The fate of the skull remains undetermined and Groves & Flannery (1989) listed M. 383 as a skin only. It is unclear whether the skull was still in the Collection by the 1960 s. The Mammal Register entry for M. 383, entered about 1964 – 1965, lists “ skin & skull ” but at an unknown date, “ skull ” has been crossed out and “ ♀ ” added in pencil. The specimen card index has an orange card for M. 383 which lists a skin and skull. This implies that a skull had been sighted.

M. 381, male, stuffed skin, originally with an extracted skull in poor condition, considered the holotype by Stanbury (1969) and this study. The skull is currently unlocated and from the Mammal Register entry does not appear to have been present when the skin was registered in the 1960 s. The original account states that the specimen was purchased from Mr. Goldie and was in the “ Macleay-Museum ” (= Macleay’s private collection, then at Elizabeth Bay, Sydney). The MAMU 1890 s Catalogue listed a single specimen of this species, with a line entry of “ male, adult, stuffed Port Moresby ” without listing a skull. We suspect that extracted skulls were not listed separately in the Catalogue unless the specimen consisted only of a skull. The fate of the holotype skull remains unknown. The original label states: “ Dorcopsis macleayi (Mikl-Macl.) Macleays Dorcopsis, New Guinea, male ”. The MAMU Mammal Register lists the specimen as “ Skin &? skull ” with the? crossed out. The specimen index card does not record whether the specimen is a skin or skull.		1		Mr. Goldie								Guinea-Bissau		Mammal Register	Elizabeth Bay	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/B42F87F7FF811522FF7EFC419D7B8B3E	MaterialCitation

An ink inscription of “ Macropus jukesii ” across the braincase appears to have been written by Miklouho-Maclay (Fig. 14). The skull was removed from a body preserved in “ brine ” received from Andrew Goldie (Miklouho-Maclay 1885 b). The body, which could subsequently have been turned into a skin, has not been located but is possibly AM M. 2033, an adult female study skin, received as a body in alcohol without a skull, from MAMU in 1907 (see Parnaby et. al. 2017). A loose paper label in the box with skull M. 380.02 (Fig. 14) is likely to have been written by Miklouho-Maclay and states “ Macropus Jukesly [sic] Maclay from the South Coast of N. Guinea near Annabada (P. Mpzesly) ”.

A search of the disassociated bandicoot skull and dentary fragments by a specialist in bandicoot taxonomy would be a valuable step in the search for missing type material. Perhaps some of the missing types were shipped to Russia when Miklouho-Maclay left Australia in 1886. A compilation of the works of Miklouho-Maclay (1950 – 54: vol. 3, part 2: 363) contains a list of vertebrate specimens given by him to the Zoological Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This lists skulls and skeletons, and stuffed specimens of “ kangaroos ”, which in this context would also include wallabies. The list appears to have been prepared by museum staff in 1950, suggesting that original documentation was not available (Dr Elena Govor, Australian National University pers. comm. 2017). Also listed are skulls, skeletons and stuffed specimens of “ marsupial badgers ” (an exact translation). Scientific names are not listed and the vernacular name “ marsupial badgers ” could apply to a range of marsupials including the Tasmanian Devil and possibly bandicoots, but in this case does not apply to wombats, which are listed separately. Text accompanying the list indicates that most of the vertebrate material was from New Guinea. Establishing the identity of these specimens would assist the search for Miklouho-Maclay’s unlocated type specimens		1										Russia		New	Collection	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/B42F87F7FFB21517FF7EF9C89DD18C29	MaterialCitation
