Tachy glossus None taken until Iron Range, though they were reported at the top as being moderately common on the crests of the scrub covered iron-stone ridges (200 ft). Tom Hollands stated he once came upon a group of four or five. One was dug from a 2 ft. wide hole beneath a very large gum tree at the edge of a shallow gully. Another was caught in the hollow base of a drain four feet deep in a cavity but had scarcely burrowed down at all. A third was found by Van at Iron Range airstrip entangled with wire netting. A fourth was spotted by Van or right (when hunting with the Cyrt). It looked at first like a humpback whale. It did not move and was readily caught. The fifth has brought in by a rateri. The platysma muscles are enormously developed and the bases of the spirals are so deeply embedded in it that the muscle can be only imperfectly preserved when skinning the animal. There is no external ear - only a large tragus - yet large internal cartilages indicate the former presence of external cartilages. Another was found for Queensland Museum by a dog close to the Iron Range airstrip, and still another was picked up by my boy Roy in open forest at Iron Range up on a rattled bare hillside. George Nankervis found a small one in open country at Wenlock. One picked up at night at Wenlock a few yards from Batawi R. One shot by Van on Mt. Finnigan at night at 2800 ft. One found crossing road by Guff at Finnigan, 1300 ft.
