I think it likely that H. Mitchellii may not be the Dipus Mitchellii of Ogilby, but that the true H. Mitchellii and my H. cervinus may be one and the same animal. If this should ultimately prove to be the case, the H. Gouldii of Gray will be the correct designation of the animal I have called H. Mitchellii, to which the terms H. macrotis and H. Richardsoni of Gray, on the specimens in the British Museum, will also probably be referable.
