L. 27, P. 1. Tue, Feb. 2 - Just closed L. 26 In pm. a pointed - card last smoked out if large tree with sulphur fumes. This is the same as the one taken on Sunday, but it is complete (the other had its ears burnt + I couldn't tell their shape). It is also the same as specimens taken at Stuart Island (# 3005, rc). If this is H. d. pullatus I feel sure that it must be referred to as a full species, distinct from H. diadema which I know fairly well. Probably however it is not, & in that case we have still to collect the type of H. d. pullatus. The Astrolabe Range fauna so far secured, is as follows: - Phascolome melanura Typl loc. Taken by us at, " rona Rona Rona " m. sp. - Rona " near murex - Sogerii Peroryctes broadbenti (jws). Goldie R.
