journal contribution
posted on 2023-11-22, 08:14 authored by William Frederick Petterd, Edmund Thomas HigginsWhen the late Mr. Ronald Gunn's paper on the Mammalia of this Island was published, some 30 years since, in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Tasmania, only three species of Antechinus, and three of Mus, were recorded as having been found in Tasmania.
The descriptions of the Muridae are excessively short, but sufficient for the recognition of the species. Since then nothing has been done on the subject, until Mr. Thomas' paper describing two new Muridae
