6.27, P. 19 To the north of the road to Segui. Some rough going but at last we struck Korari tracks that took us over the ridge crests & avoided much unnecessary climbing. We shot two Phalanger, another from one ?, and a gray one ♂ like the ♀ I shot last year at Rona. I feel convinced that two species are involved, not a dichromatic simple species. The differences set out below are unfortunately not conclusive owing to the differences in the size of the animals compared, but here goes: Gray Phalanger ♂ Brown Phalanger ♀ 1. The front of rhinoceros not deepy cleft. deeply cleft. 2. Longest fore claw 6 mm. Longest fore claw 7.5 mm. 3. hind " 15 mm. " hind " 17 mm. 4. Under surface of tail with lateral proximal 140 mm. rough. Under surface of tail with proximal 120 mm. relatively smooth. 5. Tail length = 46% Body Tail length = 49%. Body 6. Diameter of tail at terminals of hair, 17 mm. Diam. of tail at terminals of (tail appearing thicker) hair, 13 mm. (tail appearing relatively thin). 7. Tail diam = 4.4 % above tail diam. = 3.3 % length 8. Color pattern --- ( no difference can be seen in the case. The ♀ (brown) has) (2 small pink yeeps. 9. Epiplures 40 mm.; spread of tips 57. (little curved) Epiplures 60 mm.; spread of tips 60. (style curved) Today's walk which produced the two occurrences took just six hours. For the first time in my life I have seen sparks struck by a bush-knife against the thin, wiry mountain flambro grass. Grasses are supposed to contain a bit of silica, & the sparks that came twice were unmistakable.
