0 CATALOGUE BONES OF MAMMALIA COLLECTION BRITISH MUSEUM. LONDON: PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES. 1862. PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND FRANCIS, RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. PREFACE. This Catalogue contains a list of the Skeletons, Skulls, and other Osteological Specimens of the Class Mammalia contained in the British Museum ; and references to the works in which the entire skeletons or separate bones of Mammalia are figured, not only of the species in the Museum, but of those which are still desiderata. References to the latter have been added with the view of increasing the usefulness of this Catalogue to students of the Osteological Col- lection. For the purpose of showing the disposition of the bones in the different Classes and Orders, a few examples of each have been mounted ; and for the purpose of illustrating the genera and species in the Collection, and facilitating their comparison, a series of skulls has been arranged on separate tablets. The bones of the greater number of the skeletons are kept sepa- rately in boxes, to admit of the various bones of the different recent species being compared with each other and with their fossil ana- logues, which cannot so easily and completely be accomplished when they are mounted. To prevent the bones being mismatched, each bone of each specimen is marked with the number of the species, and the letter of the specimen used in the Catalogue. The chief value of an Osteological Collection depending on the accuracy with which the names of the species are determined to which the specimens belong, due attention has been paid to this point ; and it is hoped that, in this particular, the British Museum Collection will afford peculiar advantages to the student. Of the Donations the greater portion has been presented by the Collectors of the specimens, in many of which the bones, part of the skull, and skin were still adhering together. Most of the purchased specimens have been procured from Collections received direct from their native habitats, and from persons whose statements as to the localities and habits of the species could be relied on. Many of the skeletons and skulls have been extracted from animals which have died in this country, or from specimens which form part of the Zoological series in the Museum Collection. These skeletons and skulls bear a number with an asterisk (*) ; the number being that in the MS. Catalogue or on the Stand, by which the corresponding skins in the Zoological series are denoted. When the List of Osteological Specimens in the British Museum was published in 1847, that Collection contained 1766 specimens, appertaining to 742 species. It now contains 4255 specimens ; viz. 706 skeletons, and 3549 skulls, or parts of skeletons, belonging to 1197 species, — viz. of 231 Primates, 380 Ferae, 53 Cete, 327 Glires, and 206 TJngulata. The List of the Bones and the references to the Plates have been compiled by Edward Gerrard, who also prepared most of the spe- cimens. JOHN EDWARD GRAY. British Museum, March 10, 1862.
