PREFACE.
The present volume is supposed to include all the species and
races of Mammals (that have been described up to the date of publi-
cation) which inhabit the North American Continent from the Arctic
Ocean to the Province of Cauca in Colombia, South America, to- ,
gether with those of the West India Islands, and the adjoining seas.
These are arranged systematically according to the author's views,
and descriptions have been given of those forms that have received
names since the two previous works (the Synopsis of North American
Mammals, and the Land and Sea Mammals of Middle America and
the West Indies) were published.
In the works above named, in order that their bulk should not
be unduly increased, generic names were omitted from the synonymy
of the species and races. These have been supplied in the present
volume, thus making all references complete, and increasing their
usefulness for those who may have occasion to consult them. Mam-
malian nomenclature being still in a transitory condition, names
that have perhaps become familiar to many have been obliged, in cer-
tain cases, to give place to others less known on account of either the
same name having been previously employed in other branches of Zo-
ology, or having been antedated by a different one. Changes, there-
fore, are continually occurring, as this volume will testify, and new
names in various intances have taken the place of those employed
even so recently as in the lately published volumes on the Mammals
of Middle America and the West Indies. This Check List conse-
quently should always be consulted for the latest accepted name,
from that of the Family down to the subspecies.
The present volume does not profess to be more than its title
implies, a CHECK LIST of all known North American Mammals,
without descriptions, save of those named forms not included in
previous volumes, but with a moderate amount of synonymy added,
and the type locality and geographical distribution in every instance
given, if known. For all other information regarding the Orders,
Families, Genera, species, and races, the author's other published
works on the same subject should be consulted. The Check List is
merely the natural sequence of the three previous volumes, and con-
cludes the whole work as originally conceived.
Hi
iv PREFACE.
Great care has been taken to correct all errors, typographical, as
well as those of other kinds, which have been observed, and although
the author is well aware that a complete elimination of these is prac-
tically impossible in works of this description, yet it is hoped that
in this volume errors and omissions have been reduced to a minimum.
The number of species enumerated in the present list is 1,308, 4-
No. 936a = 1,309, and 676 races of species found within the geo-
graphical hmits embraced in the work; added to which are 22 races
of exotic species, originating in South America. These all make a
grand total of 2,007 species and races with a recognized standing at
the present time, inhabiting the North American Continent, with its
islands and seas. Many groups of these have never been critically
examined, or the specific or racial value of their members clearly
determined, and when this is done, doubtless the total number will
be considerably reduced and the synonymy correspondingly in-
creased. The Furor specificus has probably reached its zenith, and
the Sober Second Thought, it is hoped, may soon institute its benign
sway.
The Index is intended to answer in a certain degree for the two
previous works on the Mammals of the North American Continent,
with its islands and seas, as well as for the present volume, and the
ntmiber of the page given under its respective head, when indicated
by heavy type, is that on which the genus, species, or race is described.
As probably new names wiU be bestowed on specimens from time
to time, it is proposed to issue at stated inter\'^als, as may be deemed
expedient, a list of these forms with descriptions, and such informa-
tion concerning them as is given of those contained in the volimies
already published, and any additional knowledge of the older and
longer known forms that may have been gained will be also included,
thus keeping the entire work regularly up to date.
My thanks are due to the Assistant Curators of the Department
of Zoology in this institution. Dr. S. E. Meek and Mr. W. J. Ger-
hard, for much valuable aid in reading the proofs and constructing
the Index; and also to my_^Assistant, Mr. E. B. Chope.

I see no reason whatever to alter the opinion expressed in Pub. F. C. M.,
Ill, 1901, p. 32, Zool. Ser., that D. v. pigra Bangs is not entitled to even a sub-
specific rank, but should be considered a synonym of D. virginiana. That
the latter species would assume a black pelage in certain parts of its dispersion,
just as D. marsupialis Linn, does, is to be expected, and color in this animal
and its near allies cannot be deemed alone to possess specific value. Dr.
Allen in his review of Didelphys (Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist. N. Y., 1901, p.
165), can only say in favor of pigra that "it is not sharply or very strongly
differentiated from D. virginiana (typica), but south Florida and Louisiana
specimens are quite unlike the northern form through their much darker
general coloration," and also slight differences in extent of facial markings,
black on ears and tail, and white on toes and ears. It may be remarked that
in a series of specimens the last differences are very slight indeed. No char-
acters are produced by which pigra can be distinguished from the species
D. virginiana, worthy of consideration, save a "much darker general colora-
tion" in some examples, which, if allowed, at once necessitates raising to a
subspecific rank the black individuals of D. marsupialis Linn., found so fre-
quently in certain parts of its dispersion, and thus far no one has had the
temerity to do this. D. v. pigra apparently has not one qualification to en-
title it to a subspecific rank, and if it has, no one has, as yet, been able to
discover it.

* Sciurus pennsylvanicus Ord, if it could be proved to have been applied
to the northern form of the gray squirrel would have fifteen years precedence
over leucoHs Gapper, and that name would necessarily become a synonym.
But as Ord's name is without description, and therefore a nomen nudum, it
cannot be determined whether he intended to apply it to the southern or
northern form of gray squirrel.

Autocrat Timber Wolf.
Type locality. Sushitna River, region of Mount McKinlej'', Alaska.
No. 13,481, Field Columbian Mus., Chicago.
Genl. Char. Color from nearly uniform black to white and black
in various mixtures. Skull: size larger than those of the timber
wolves of Canada or United States; ridge of sagittal and occipital
crest nearly on a level with frontal and with only a very slight descent
at occiput and very deep at that point; maxillae very broad and
rounded posteriorly at junction with the frontals, much broader than
in C. occidentalis ; nasals pointed posteriorly, but considerably broader
than those of southern timber wolves; premaxillae extending con-
siderably over one-half the length of the nasals, while in C. occiden-
talis in some cases this bone does not reach over one third the length
of the nasals and occasionally not even that length; intertemporal
width considerable, with a deep median depression between the
frontals; the basisphenoid is very broad, and the postglenoid processes
very wide and flattened; the mandible is massive, heavy, very deep,
and of nearly uniform height on horizontal portion, with the inferior
outline nearly straight, very different from the curving outline of the
CANIS. 875
mandible of C. occidentalis : the coronoid process is very broad, high,
of nearly equal width throughout, and with the posterior outline
nearly straight, not curving like that of the southern species; teeth in
both jaws large and heavy, exceeding in size those of C. occidentalis
in the same proportion as do the skulls.
Color. Type: General hue of body, tail, legs, and feet black; the
bases of the long hairs a smoky white, showing rather conspicuously
on the sides; a pure white spot on the breast and lower part of the
abdomen, and large spots on the fore part of chest behind fore legs
grayish white; head and ears shining black; tail black, with a few
white hairs *at tip ; claws black.
Other specimens are all black with very few grayish white hairs
showing. From this sable hue, which in certain sections seems to be
the prevailing one, the color varies in different mixtures of black and
white to that in which the white is the prominent color with jet black
lines on dorsal surface and neck. The tail of this style is mostly
white with black mixed in places and with the tip black.
Measurements, Skull: total length, 263; Hensel, 233; zygomatic
width, 143; intertemporal width, 64; lateral length of nasals, 97;
median length, 85; width of rostruni at canines, 55.5; palatal length,
126; width of palate between sectorials at base, 64; length of upper
tooth row, anterior edge of canine to posterior edge of last molar, 114 ;
length of canine, 36; alveolar length of camassial, 27; width of row
of incisors at tips, 42; total length of mandible, 206; depth beneath
camassial, 32 ; height at coronoid process from lower edge of angle, 78 ;
width of coronoid process at tip, 29.'

♦The status of the North American Timber Wolves has never been satis-
factorily determined, and it is not yet decided whether they are all of one
species, or represent various species and races. Canis griseus of Sabine appears
to be the earliest name for the Wolves north of Mexico, preceding Canis albus
of the same author by one page of the publication in which they both appear.
If the Timber Wolves of the North Arnerican continent prove eventually to
be of the same species, Canis mexicanus Linnaeus is apparently the name by
which they will be known.

♦The specific values of the Brown Bears of Alaska cannot be considered
as satisfactorily established. The roaming habits of these animals frequently
cause them to travel very great distances, even swimming wide rivers and
estuaries of the sea. It is not probable, therefore, that closely allied animals,
as are all those heretofore described, would be able to maintain their dis-
tinctive characters, as they must at certain seasons mingle promiscuously
together, and bears, like pigs, are not particular in their choice of a mate.
Great variations in skulls and in size of individuals occur among all bears.
It is most, probable that when these forms are treated monographically with
ample materials, the number of species and races will be conspicuously reduced.

Nat. Hist., 7th Ser., XI, 1903, p. 380, that Wagner's type was too young to
definitely determine whether or not it was the same as Saussure 's species,
and therefore B. sumichrasti would assume its specific rank and the synonyms
placed under annulatus must be restored to it. A description of B. sumi-
chrasti is, therefore, here given.

♦In the Mamm. Middle Amer. & W. Indies, Grison was employed as the
generic term for the allied forms of Mustela barbara Linn., but this appears
to be an error, as Galera (1. c.) Brown, clearly antedates Grtson Oken, and
should be the term employed. The fact that Galera has been used in various
ways by authors, and some confusion has been thereby created, in no way
invalidates its claim to take precedence over all other names proposed for this
genus of mammals.

♦Mr. J. A. G. Rehn in his Monograph of the genus Otopterus, Proc. Acad.
Nat. Scien. Phil., 1904, p. 437 (erroneously called by him Macrotus), makes
Dobson 's species a synonym of O. mexicanus, and retains O. bulleri as a race
of the last named. Dr. J. A. Allen, in a "Note on Mexican Species of Otop-
terus," Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist. N. Y., 1904, p. 235, after a careful examina-
tion, decides that O. bocourtianus is a good species, and that O. bulleri should
become a synonym of O. mexicanus. Here we have two diametrically opposed
opinions entertained by two naturalists working independently of each other,
and in view of the impasse thus created, it seems best to consider the two
forms distinct species, as they have heretofore been by most investigators,
especially as the specimens in this Museum appear to sustain that view of
the case. Although not a matter of supreme importance, it \\i\\, however,
probably require, after the decisions mentioned above, a consensus of opin-
ions among mammalogists before the question at issue shall be satisfactorily
settled.

♦Not having been able to obtain any reliable information regarding this
species in the West Indies, it was omitted from the work on the mammals
of Middle America and the West Indies. I have lately been informed by Mr.
A. H. Clark of Boston that it is common in certain districts of Barbadoes,
and also in St. Kitts, and is. therefore, included in this list. I have heard that
another species of monkey from the Old World has been introduced into the
Island of Grenada, but although I have tried to obtain some information regard-
ing it, and written to persons on the Island, yet I am unable to give its name,
or learn anything about it.
