Ramsay did not provide collector or locality information for this rodent, nor did he do so for several bird taxa that he described in the same paper. This might simply have been an oversight by Ramsay, who frequently displayed an

Mammal specimens were also purchased from Mason Brothers at this time but these appear not to have been registered until some years later. We have not yet located archival lists of mammals purchased by Ramsay during this period.
