London : British Museum xiii 401 pp. 28 pls [3 Nov. 1888] [277] writes that the Beasts plates were prepared in 1845, but although they were seen privately and quoted by several authors long before, their 'real publication' only took place in 1875; Saunders, J. 1875. List of the Books, Memoirs, and Miscellaneous Papers by Dr. John Edward Gray, F.R.S. with a few Historical Notes. London : Taylor & Francis (Printers) 58 pp. [19] records Gray's work no. 278 as 'Figures of new species of Australian Mammalia. Zool. Ereb. and Terror, 1844, 4 to.' and on the basis of this information the publication date of Beasts plate 21, 28 and 29 is taken by Mahoney, J.A. in Walton, D.W. (ed.) 1988. Zoological Catalogue of Australia. Vol. 5 Mammalia. Canberra : Australian Government Publishing Service x 274 pp. [155, 169], as 1844; early authors who cite Beasts plates include Gunn, R.C. 1852.

Gilbert; a label attached to the skin of the holotype has the date 20th March, 1843 inscribed on it and this is three days later than the date that Whittell, H.M. 1942.
