Antechinus johanni. This large Antechinus was found first at Sinn Rope in the rain forest - both flood plain and hill side. It was fairly abundant. A just climber. The manner was seldom visible. In two females the formula was clearly 5-5=10, arranged ... . A male was shot while clutching a crump on a large tree about 6 feet above the ground. Usually trapped under old logs or any sorts of large trees. Tozer camp scouts also provided a fine series of this describable animal. Now at Dunn's Creek. A series showing possible difference in formula - (4-4) Taken at Mc Lennith Range (Carp Orn-Pocket and Upper Nesbit R). Extremely plentiful at latter. Antechinus flavipes (?). I have at Mt Finnigan, 1150, 2700, 2900 ft. The 3 at 1150 had 7 well developed young attached.
