18 Uromys cardinalelatus. The "white-tailed rat" was not rare in the scrubs of the rimstone ridge at Locksbie. One was Taken by Van at Newcastle Bay along the rimstone cliffs of Naur Point, where it probably fed on the seeds of Pandanus. It was partly isolated from the main scrub by 1/4 mile of windswept, open, tussocky common. Found to be fairly common in the Iron Range area, one was shot by Van at the Flyig Strip about 100 feet out in the "fores" from the "Scrub". A few taken in the gut. Tdzee scrubs. Their powerful jaws can tear a small mouse-top apart. None at Parni's Creek One, unexpectedly or even, in the Corn River Gorge, a mile above "The Bend". Taken in cliffty place which is surrounded by rocky hills & Pin Forest. One at Upper Night R., 1500 ft; one at Peach River. One at Mt. Diminjan, 1150 ft. One at Barron Water, Cairns.
