UNDETERMINED SPECIMENS

Ailurops cf. furvus

MZUT T547 (703); mount; unsexed; Celebes Island , In- donesia; I/1845; purchased by G.A. Frank .

Remarks: The specimen could be identified as A. furvus , due to the size and coat colaration, but because of the size we can rule out an immature specimen of A. ursinus .

Isoodon cf. auratus .

MZUT T548; ethanol; w.d.

Remarks: The coloration seems to be that of I. auratus . However, the small size of the specimen could suggest an immature or an individual from a population of I. obesulus characterized by a small size.

Perameles sp.

MZUT T549; ethanol; w.d.

Remarks: The specimen could be a juvenile and therefore the identification is difficult. The coat coloration rules out P. gunni .

Petaurus cf. australis MZUT T 550 (359); mount; unsexed; Australia; 1819;

purchased in London during the Bullock’s Auction in

1819.

Remarks: The patagium is poorly developed, the coat coloration and the lack of the dorsal stripe seem to indicate P. australis .

Bettongia sp.

MZUT T551 (787); mount; male ad.; Australia; 1846; purchased by G.A. Frank

Thylogale cf. thetis MZUT T 552 (795); mount; male ad.; New South Wales,

Australia; 1845; purchased by G.A. Frank.

Remarks: The correct identification is uncertain due to the faded coat, but red on neck and back suggest T. thetis .
