LETTER  OF  TRANSMITTAL. 


LT.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture, 

Washington,  D.  ('..  July  6,  1902. 
Sir:  I  have  the  honor  to  transmit  herewith,  as  No.  23  of  North 
American  Fauna,  a  technical  work  on  the  generic  names  of  mammals, 
by  my  assistant.  Dr.  Theodore  Sherman  Palmer.  It  consists  of  three 
parts:  (1)  An  annotated  list  of  the  generic  names  of  mammals:  if)  an 
alphabetical  list  of  the  families  of  mammals,  and  (3)  a  classified  list  of 
the  generic  names,  arranged  by  orders  and  families. 

The  first  part  was  begun  by  me  in  L884,  but  owing  to  pressure  of 
other  work  I  was  unable  to  carry  it  on,  and  turned  it  over  to  Dr. 
Palmer  for  completion.  The  second  and  third  parts  are  wholly 
Dr.  Palmer's. 

Respectfully,  C.  Hart  Merriam.

A  LIST  OF  THE  GENERA  AND  FAMILIES  OF  MAMMALS. 

By  T.  s.  Palmer, 
Assistant,  Biological  Survey. 

INTRODUCTION. 
HISTORY  AND  OBJECTS  OF  THE  INDEX. 

Since  the  publication  of  the  tenth  edition  of  the  *  Sy  sterna  Naturae ' 
of  Linnaeus,  in  1758,  the  number  of  generic  names  of  mammals  has 
multiplied  with  ever-increasing  rapidity.  This  fact  can  readily  be 
appreciated  if  the  intervening  century  and  a  half  be  divided  into  three 
periods  of  approximately  even  length:  (1)  1758-1800,(2)  1801-1850, 
(3)  1851-1900.  At  the  beginning  of  the  first  period  only  39  genera 
were  recognized,  but  at  its  close  about  175  generic  names  had  been  pro- 
posed, of  which  probably  less  than  100  were  recognized.  At  the  end 
of  the  second  period  (1850)  the  number  was  approximately  1,200,  and 
at  the  close  of  the  third  had  increased  to  more  than  4,000,  of  which 
1,810  were  admitted  by  Trouessart  as  entitled  to  recognition.  In  1901 
more  than  100  new  generic  names  were  added  to  the  list. 

This  rapid  increase  in  the  number  of  names  has  been  due  partly  to 
increased  activity  in  systematic  work,  partly  to  subdivision  of  older 
groups  of  mammals,  partly  to  duplication  of  names  through  inad- 
vertence or  otherwise,  but  more  especially  to  the  marvelous  develop- 
ment in  paleontology.  Of  the  genera  described  before  1800,  only 
three — Mammut,  Megalonyx,  and  Megatherium — belong  to  extinct 
groups.  A  few  years  later  this  number  was  augmented  by  the  names 
of  numerous  forms  described  from  the  Paris  basin;  since  then,  by  the 
names  required  for  the  hosts  of  extinct  mammals  described  from  the 
deposits  of  France,  Germany,  Greece,  India,  Australia,  the  United 
States,  and  Argentina. 

Investigation  has  shown  the  necessity  of  subdividing  older  groups, 
as  the  older  generic  limits  were  too  broad  to  permit  grouping  forms 
with  sufficient  precision.     As  a  result,  the  genus  of  to-day  is  much

more  restricted  than  that  of  a  century  or  more  ago,  and  consequently 
the  recognized  genera  and  subgenera  have  greatly  increased  in  num- 
ber. Early  authors  gave  little  attention  to  questions  of  priority,  and 
the  difficulty  of  consulting  current  literature  and  of  keeping  abreast  of 
investigations  made  in  foreign  lands  was  greater  than  at  the  present 
day;  hence  each  author  quoted  only  papers  accessible  to  him  and  fre- 
quently overlooked  those  of  his  contemporaries.  Thus,  in  several 
cases  the  same  group  received  a  different  name  in  English,  French, 
and  German  works.  Generic  names  in  all  branches  of  zoology  have 
now  become  so  numerous  that  it  is  growing  more  and  more  difficult  to 
select  those  which  have  not  previously  been  used  in  other  classes; 
preoccupied  names  have  consequently  steadih'  increased  in  number, 
resulting  in  duplication,  which,  though  difficult  to  avoid,  is  none  the 
less  to  be  avoided.  Unnecessary  duplication  has  also  been  introduced 
by  the  work  of  purists  who  refused  to  recognize  barbaric  or  native 
names.  The  common  names  adopted  as  generic  terms  by  Lacepede. 
Lesson,  and  others,  were  rejected  by  Cuvier,  Illiger.  and  their  follow- 
ers, because  such  terms  lacked  classical  origin  or  form.  (See  pp. 
29,  45.) 

It  is  easy  to  see  that  under  these  conditions  confusion  increased  as 
time  went  on,  and  it  became  more  and  more  difficult  to  ascertain  the 
proper  name  for  any  particular  group.  This  difficulty  has  been  less- 
ened somewhat  in  recent  years  by  the  publication  of  indexes  of  genera, 
of  which  8  that  include  genera  and  subgenera  of  mammals  may  be 
mentioned  in  this  connection.  These  are  Agassiz's  '  Nomenclator 
Zoologicus,"  1842-40;  Bronn's  'Index  Pakeontologicus,"  1848;  Mar- 
schall's  '  Nomenclator  Zoologicus,'  1873;  Scudder\s  '  Nomenclator 
Zoologicus,*"  1882;  Trouessart's  '  Catalogue  Mammalium,'  1897-98; 
Sherborn's  'Index  Animalium,'  1902;  C.  O.  Waterhouse's  'Index 
Zoologicus,"  1902,  and  the  annual  volumes  of  the  'Zoological  Record.' 

Agassiz's  '  Nomenclator  Zoologicus '  brought  together  about  1,000 
names — most  of  those  proposed  prior  to  1846;  Marschall  added  453  in 
1873;  and  all  of  these  names  were  republished  in  Scudder's  '  Universal 
Index."  Trouessart's  '  Catalogue '  of  1898  is  a  list  of  recognized  genera 
and  species,  and  although  including  many  synonyms,  makes  no  pre- 
tense at  completeness  in  this  respect.  The  annual  volumes  of  the 
'Zoological  Record'  contain  lists  of  the  new  genera  published  during 
the  year,  but  the  early  volumes  did  not  contain  the  names  of  extinct 
groups,  and  thus  far  no  general  index  of  new  names  has  been  pub- 
lished. Agassiz  and  Marschall,  moreover,  give  only  references  to  the 
place  of  publication  and  volume  in  which  published,  without  the  page, 
which  is  often  difficult  to  find.     Scudder,  in  his  '  Supplemental  List,' 

"Scudder's  'Nomenclator'  consists  of  two  parts:  (1)  'Supplemental  List,'  con- 
taining chiefly  additions  to  the  indexes  of  Agassiz  and  Marschall,  and  (2)  '  Universal 
Index'  of  the  names  published  in  the  indexes  of  Agassiz,  Marschall,  Scudder,  and 
the  Zoological  Record.     Both  parts  were  brought  down  to  the  close  of  1879.

sometimes  gives  the  type  or  included  species  with  the  names,  but  in 
the  'Universal  Index'  he  gives  merely  the  authority  and  date  without 
reference,  and  to  find  the  place  of  publication  it  is  necessary  to  con- 
sult previous  lists.  Trouessart  also  in  many  cases  gives  only  authority 
and  date. 

Notwithstanding  these  indexes  many  names  were  overlooked,  and 
as  they  were  gradually  brought  to  light  some  of  those  in  current  use 
were  found  to  be  preoccupied  and  others  antedated.  As  a  result, 
names  have  been  shifted  so  frequently  that  it  has  become  very  difficult 
to  keep  pace  with  the  changes,  and  general  readers  who  do  not  appre- 
ciate the  necessity  for  such  changes  regard  the  desired  goal  of  sta- 
bility as  practically  unattainable.  The  extent  of  these  changes  is 
clearly  shown  in  the  case  of  North  American  mammals.  Of  the  160 
or  more  generic  names  used  by  True  in  his  'Provisional  List  of  the 
Mammals  of  North  and  Central  America.'  in  1885,  some  35  or  40, 
or  nearly  25  per  cent  of  the  entire  number,  have  been  changed  during 
recent  years  on  what  may  be  termed  bibliographical  grounds.  Ten 
of  these  names  have  been  found  to  be  preoccupied  and  the  others  have 
given  way  to  earlier  names.  Changes  like  these  can  only  be  avoided 
by  having  complete  indexes  which  will  show  not  only  what  names 
have  been  proposed  in  a  given  class  and  on  what  species  they  are 
based,  but  also  whether  the  same  generic  names  have  been  previously 
applied  to  other  groups. 

The  present  index,  which  differs  materially  from  previous  ones  in 
containing  much  information  besides  the  name,  authority,  and  place  of 
publication,  was  undertaken  in  connection  with  the  systematic  work 
on  mammals  carried  on  by  the  Biological  Survey,  in  order  to  collect 
for  convenient  reference  not  only  the  names  given  in  previous  indexes, 
but  also  those  which  had  been  overlooked  or  which  had  been  published 
since  the  appearance  of  these  works.  Its  object  is  to  bring  together 
all  the  generic  and  subgeneric  names"  of  mammals,  both  living  and 
extinct,  which  have  been  proposed  since  1758,  and  to  furnish  such  data 
of  a  bibliographical  nature  as  to  facilitate  finding  when  and  where 
each  name  was  published,  and  to  what  group  it  was  applied.  It  gives, 
so  far  as  possible  for  each  name,  (1)  authority.  (2)  date  of  publication, 
(3)  order  and  family,  (4)  reference  to  original  place  of  publication, 
(5)  important  secondary  references,  (6)  variations  in  spelling,  (7)  type 
or  included  species,  (8)  locality  of  type  species,  (9)  indication  of  pre- 
occupation, with  cross  reference  to  names,  if  any,  proposed  to  replace 
them,  (10)  a  statement  (if  published)  of  the  part  of  extinct  animals — 
as  the  skeleton,  skull,  teeth,  etc. — which  constituted  the  type  specimen, 

a  Since  it  is  often  merely  a  matter  of  personal  opinion  whether  a  given  group  is 
considered  as  a  genus  or  subgenus,  genera  and  subgenera  are  here  treated  alike, 
except  that  a  subgenus  is  indicated  as  such  and  if  it  has  been  subsequently  raised  to 
full  generic  rank  this  fact  is  indicated  by  a  secondary  reference.

(11)  derivation,  and  (12)  in  some  cases  the  application  of  the  name. 
These  facts,  while  comprising-  the  essential  data  in  regard  to  a  given 
name,  are  of  little  assistance  in  ascertaining  what  names  have  been 
used  for  a  particular  group  and  which  one  of  several  proposed  is 
entitled  to  recognition.  To  supply  this  information  the  names  have 
been  arranged  alphabetically  under  orders  and  families,  each  one 
accompanied  by  a  statement  of  the  authority,  date,  type  or  included 
species,  and  locality.  It  is  thus  possible  to  tell  at  a  glance  all  the 
names  which  have  been  used  in  each  family,  the  dates  when  they  were 
proposed,  the  species  on  which  they  were  based,  and  approximately 
the  localities  of  these  species."  In  preparing  this  part  of  the  work  it 
became  necessary  to  collect  family  and  subfamily  names,  only  a  few  of 
which  had  been  previously  indexed  systematically.  The  work  there- 
fore consists  of  3  parts:  (1)  an  alphabetical  index  of  genera  giving  the 
essential  facts  in  regard  to  each  name;  (2)  an  alphabetical  index  of 
families  and  subfamilies,  showing  the  authority,  place  and  date  of  pub- 
lication, and  the  order  to  which  the  name  belongs;  (3)  a  systematic 
index  showing  the  generic  names  which  have  been  proposed  in  each 
family,  with  the  more  important  facts  regarding  authorities,  dates. 
and  types. 

The  present  index  was  projected  by  Dr.  C.  Hart  Merriam  about 
L884  and  was  intended  at  first  to  include  merely  the  genera  of  living 
mammals  with  the  exception  of  the  cetaceans.  When  undertaken  by 
the  present  writer  in  November,  L889,  it  contained  about  250  names. 
Two  years  later  a  systematic  examination  was  made  of  Scudder's 
'Universal  Index.'  the  -Zoological  Record'  for  1878-91,  and  general 
works  on  mammals,  and  the  names  thus  obtained,  accompanied  only 
by  authority  and  date,  were  arranged  alphabetically  in  a  skeleton  list 
on  the  plan  of  Scudder's  Index.  Additional  names  were  entered  in 
this  list  from  time  to  time  and  the  references  looked  up  and  verified 
at  the  first  opportunity.  At  the  close  of  L891  the  number  of  genera 
verified  was  about  375;  on  January  1,  1893,  it  had  increased  to  about 
650;  on  January  1.  L894,  to  2.045;  on  January  I.  1895,  to  about  3.300; 
on  January  1.  L896,  to  3,850;  on  January  1,  1897,  to  3,900;  on  Janu- 
ary 1,  ISDN,  to  about  4,275:  on  January  1, 1899,  to  4,318;  on  January 
1,  1900,  to  about  4.400;  and  on  July  1,  1902,  to  about  4.500.  As  the 
work  progressed  it  was  decided  to  change  the  plan  so  as  to  include  all 
recent  genera,  and  finally  to  make  it  complete  by  indexing  extinct 
genera.  Not  only  works  on  mammals  but  general  serials  and  books 
of   reference    have   been    examined    for   names.     Several    indexes   of 

«It  will  be  observed  that  no  attempt  is  made  to  distinguish  synonyms  from  valid 
names  excepl  in  case  of  preoccupation.  Such  information  must  be  sought  in  special 
monographs  or  works  like  Trouessart's  'Catalogue  Mammalium.'  The  data  given 
in  the  following  pages  are  merely  the  raw  material  which  will  assist  the  specialist 
engaged  in  revising  a  group  to  select  the  names  he  considers  entitled  to  recognition. 


A    LIST    OF    THE    GENERA    AND    FAMILIES    OF    MAMMALS.         11 

genera  of  birds,  fishes,  Crustacea,  insects,  etc.,  have  been  examined, 
and  Scudder's  '  Nomenclator '  has  been  systematically  examined  at 
least  twice  for  names  in  other  groups  which  might  preoccupy  those  of 
mammals.  In  short,  no  effort  has  been  spared  to  render  the  list  as 
complete  and  accurate  as  possible. 

In  August,  1894,  the  Department  acquired  from  Mr.  F.  H.  Water- 
house,  Librarian  of  the  Zoological  Society  of  London,  a  manuscript 
list  of  genera  of  mammals  prepared  on  the  same  plan  as  his  'Index 
Generum  Avium'  published  in  L889.  This  manuscript  was  generously 
offered  to  the  Department  by  the  author  upon  his  learning  that  an 
index  similar  in  plan  to  his  own,  but  somewhat  broader  in  scope,  was  in 
course  of  preparation.  This  offer  was  at  one*1  accepted,  and  the  list 
was  found  to  contain  3,009  names  accompanied  by  references  to  place 
of  publication,  while  the  Department  list  at  that  date  contained  3,604 
names,  of  which  2,848  had  been  veritied.  Beside  77  new  names  and 
101  earlier  references,  many  additional  important  secondary  references 
were  furnished  by  the  Waterhouse  list,  but  its  greatest  value  lay  in 
the  check  which  it  afforded  on  the  whole  work.  It  is  interesting  to 
note  the  close  agreement  in  these  two  lists,  independently  compiled 
(each  author  being  ignorant  of  the  work  undertaken  by  the  other). 
Not  only  were  practically  the  same  names  found  in  the  two  lists,  but 
the  references  in  most  cases  coincided  exactly,  and  are,  therefore,  more 
trustworthy  than  if  brought  together  by  one  individual. 

While  it  was  obviously  impracticable  to  verify  references  so  numer- 
ous and  so  widely  scattered  after  the  list  was  in  type,  as  was  said  to 
have  been  done  in  the  case  of  Bronn's  celebrated  Index,  certain  checks 
were  used  during  the  preparation  of  the  work  which  eliminated  many 
errors.  The  names  were  arranged  on  cards,  typewritten  to  secure  legi- 
bility and  to  avoid  errors  in  spelling.  Nearly  all  the  references  were 
veritied  independently  by  two  persons,  and  many  of  the  cards  after- 
wards looked  over  by  a  third.  Notwithstanding  these  precautions, 
many  errors  have  undoubtedly  crept  in.  In  fact,  with  1,500  names, 
most  of  which  are  accompanied  by  from  six  to  twelve  distinct  items  of 
information,  not  to  mention  the  thousands  of  figures  referring  to  vol- 
umes, pages,  and  years  under  the  references,  it  can  readily  be  seen  that 
the  possibility  of  error  is  very  great.  It  is  hoped  that  with  the  checks 
above  mentioned,  and  especially  with  the  acquisition  of  Waterhouse's 
manuscript,  comparatively  few  names  have  been  overlooked  and  that 
few  errors  will  be  detected  in  the  references;  but  in  statements  regard- 
ing types  and  classification  absolute  accurac}^  is  unattainable,  owing  to 
the  variety  of  ways  in  which  genera  have  been  proposed  and  the  diver- 
sit}'  of  views  held  by  leading  s}^stematists  as  to  the  position  of  many 
genera  or  even  families. 

At  first  an  attempt  was  made  to  fix  the  type  of  each  genus,  but  this 
proved  impracticable  and  the  plan  of  including  all  the  species  men- 


12  INDEX  GENERUM  MAMMALIUM. 

tioned  in  the  first  description  was  adopted  instead.  Later  on  the  types 
fixed  by  subsequent  authors  and  revisers  of  groups  were  noted  by 
inserting  the  word  '  t}rpe '  in  parenthesis  after  the  species  so  indicated 
by^  the  first  reviser,  and  by  marking  the  reference  to  the  paper  from 
which  this  information  was  obtained  't}Tpe  fixed.'  All  this  of  course 
necessitated  a  reexamination  of  many  volumes  and  greatly  delayed  the 
progress  of  the  work.  Some  cases  which  should  have  been  reexamined 
may  have  been  overlooked,  thus  adding  another  possible  source  of  error. 
These  details  are  mentioned,  not  to  magnify  the  difficulties  of  the  work 
or  to  condone  errors  which  it  may  contain,  but  merely  to  show  the 
probability  of  finding  mistakes  in  an  index  of  this  kind  in  spite  of  the 
checks  adopted  to  detect  them. 

Although  nearly  twenty  years  have  elapsed  since  this  index  was  first 
projected,  very  little  headway  was  made  until  1891,  and  the  work  has 
been  actually  in  progress  only  about  twelve  years.  The  long  delay  in 
bringing  it  to  completion  has  been  due  largely  to  the  desultory  way  in 
which  the  work  had  to  be  done,  chiefly  at  odd  moments  in  the  intervals 
between  more  important  official  duties.  Changes  in  the  plan  and  the 
reexamination  of  references  delayed  it  far  more  than  would  otherwise 
have  been  the  case.  Slow  progress  in  undertakings  of  this  kind  is,  how- 
ever, not  unusual,  as  shown  by  Bronn's  elaborate  "Index  Pala?ontolo- 
gicus.*  which  was  fifteen  years  in  course  of  preparation.  The  present 
index  was  supposed  to  have  been  almost  ready  for  publication  in  1894, 
but  had  it  been  issued  then  it  would  have  comprised  only  the  alpha- 
betical index  of  genera  (Part  I)  and  only  80  per  cent  of  the  names  now 
included.  The  delay  has  resulted  in  enlarging  the  original  scope  of  the 
work,  the  addition  of  nearly  1,000  names  and  much  of  the  matter  on 
etymology,  and  the  incorporation  of  many  corrections,  wThich,  although 
not  perceptible,  are  none  the  less  important.  A  number  of  rare  books 
containing  new  names  have  been  acquired,  and  several  valuable  general 
works  recently  published  have  been  examined  to  the  great  benefit  of 
the  work.  Among  these  ma}'  be  mentioned  Trouessart's  '  Catalogus 
Mammalium,'  Roger's  '  Verzeichniss  der  Fossilen  Sai'igethiere,'  Miller 
&  Rehn's  'List  of  North  American  Land  Mammals,1  Thomas's  'Genera 
of  Rodents,'  Sclater  &  Thomas'  'Book  of  Antelopes,'  W.  L.  Sclater's 
'Mammals  of  South  Africa,'  Lydekker's  'Deer'  and  'Oxen,  Sheep, 
and  Goats,'  the  volumes  on  monkeys,  marsupials,  and  British  mammals 
in  Aliens  Naturalists'  Library,  Beddard's  'Mammals,'  Hay's  'Cata- 
logue of  Fossil  Vertebrates  of  North  America,'  Sherborn's  '  Index 
Animalium,' C.  O.  Waterhouse's  'Index  Zoologicus,'  and  numerous 
special  monographs,  including  the  palteontological  papers  of  Ame- 
gbino,  Hatcher,  Matthew,  Osborn,  Roth,  Scott,  and  "Wortman.

Great  care  has  been  taken  to  ascertain  the  original  place  of  publica- 
tion of  every  genus.  This  apparently  simple  object  is  often  difficult 
of  attainment,  owing  to  the  obscure  manner  in  which  some  names  are 
published  and  the  practical  impossibility  of  determining  whether  or 
not  the  reference  found  is  really  the  first.  The  matter  is  important, 
since  a  difference  of  a  few  months  or  even  a  few  days  may  decide  the 
availability  of  a  name/'  A  difference  in  publication  of  one  year  caused 
the  rejection  of  such  well-known  names  as  Arvicola,  Tsomys,  and 
Ochetodon,  while  priority  of  only  three  days  resulted  in  the  adoption 
of  Matschie's  Zenkerella  in  place  of  De  Winton's  Aethufrus^  in  1898. 
Hipposidero*  Gray  is  sometimes  quoted  1831  (Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  Lon- 
don, p.  53),  where  it  is  a  nomen  nudum,  while  reference  to  the  original 
description  in  1831  (Zool.  Miscellany,  p.  37)  shows  it  to  be  a  valid  name. 
Oreas  Desmarest  is  usually  quoted  1822,  and  if  correctly  so  it  is  pre- 
occupied hy  a  genus  of  Lepidoptera  (1806)  and  by  a  genus  of  Polyps 
(1808).  It  is,  however,  said  to  have  been  described  in  1801,  and  should 
this  prove  to  be  a  fact  the  name  would  supplant  Taurotragu.s,  which  is 
now  adopted  for  the  group. 

Different  species  are  also  likely  to  be  enumerated  in  later  references, 
and  the  supposed  type  derived  from  a  reference  commonly  accepted 
as  the  earliest  may  prove  to  be  different  from  the  actual  type  as  shown 
by  the  original  description.  Transference  of  type  may  be  illustrated 
by  the  different  editions  of  Linmeus:  In  the  tenth  edition,  1758,  Man/* 
contains  only  one  species,  M.  pentadactyla,  which  is  necessarily  the 
type;  in  the  twelfth  edition,  1766,  two  species  are  given,  M.  penta- 
dactyla  and  M.  tetradactyla,  and  the  latter  has  recently  been  given  as 
the  type  of  the  genus.  (W.  L.  Sclater,  Mamm.  S.  Africa,  II,  p.  216, 
1901.) 

Secondary  references  have  been  freely  admitted  to  indicate  the  sev- 
eral publications  in  which  a  name  appeared  at  close  intervals,  to  indi- 
cate changes  in  spelling,  to  call  attention  to  important  monographs  or 
revisions  of  groups,  to  show  when  subgenera  were  raised  to  generic 
rank,  and  to  fix  responsibility  for  determination  of  types.  No 
attempt,  however,  has  been  made  to  include  every  important  second- 
ary reference,  and  more  citations  will  be  found  under  some  names 
than  under  others.  The  reason  is  evident,  for  while  well-known 
generic  names  may  be  found  in  almost  any  book  of  reference,  some  of 

«A  few  years  ago  Oldfield  Thomas,  supposing  that  Cuvier's  well-known  genus 
Cricetus  dated  from  the  '  Regne  Animal,'  1817,  proposed  to  replace  it  by  Hamster 
Lacepede,  1799  (Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  London,  1896,  1019).  The  name,  however,  was 
used  by  Kerr  in  1792,  and  in  reality  has  seven  years'  priority  over  Hamster. 


14  INDEX  GENERUM  MAMMALIUM. 

the  obscure  ones  are  extremely  difficult  to  find,  and  hence  it  is  desir- 
able to  bring  tog-ether  the  more  important  facts  in  the  history  of 
names  published  in  works  which  are  not  generally  accessible. 

The  references  are  brief,  but  at  the  same  time  full  enough  to  indi- 
cate clearly  the  book  or  paper  (without  confusing  titles  of  similar  but 
distinct  works),  the  edition,  volume,  page,  plate,  and  figure  where  the 
name  may  be  found.  As  a  rule  the  inclusive  pagination  is  given 
instead  of  the  first  page  or  the  one  on  which  the  generic  name  appears, 
in  order  to  indicate  to  some  extent  the  length  of  the  description  and 
thus  give  a  clue  to  the  detail  with  which  the  group  is  treated. 

Nearly  every  reference  has  been  verified,  and  in  the  majority  of 
cases  checked  independently  by  two  persons,  so  as  to  eliminate  as  far 
as  possible  errors  due  to  copying.  It  is  difficult  to  appreciate  the 
time,  labor,  and  energy  expended  to  secure  accuracy  in  this  respect. 
Special  trips  have  been  made  to  libraries  in  distant  cities  in  this 
country,  and  my  assistant  has  visited  the  principal  libraries  in  Bergen, 
Berlin,  London,  and  Paris  in  the  quest  for  rare  books.  Still,  in  a  few 
instances,  it  has  been  necessary  to  take  references  to  inaccessible  works 
at  second  hand,  but  these  are  quoted  or  accompanied  by  a  statement 
of  the  authority  from  which  they  have  been  derived. 

DATES. 

The  determination  of  the  date  of  publication  is  one  of  the  most 
important  points  connected  with  nomenclature,  as  it  is  the  foundation 
of  all  matters  respecting  priority  of  names.  In  a  technical  sense  the 
publication  of  a  book  or  paper  is  distinct  from  the  date  of  printing 
and  practically  synonymous  with  distribution/'  Publication  is  defined 
by  the  Century  Dictionary  as  "The  act  of  offering  a  book,  map,  print, 
piece  of  music,  or  the  like,  to  the  public  by  sale  or  by  gratuitous 
distribution."  According  to  the  late  Dr.  Coues,  "A  printed  work  is 
'published'  if  a  single  copy  is  placed  in  a  public  library."6  Although 
it  is  a  general  rule  that  the  date  of  publication  is  to  be  accepted  unless 
there  is  evidence  to  show  that  it  is  incorrect,  yet  it  must  be  remem- 
bered that  many  scientific  papers,  particularly  monographs  and  elabo- 
rate works,  are  published  in  parts,  and  when  these  parts  are  gathered 
in  volumes  the  date  on  the  title  page  is,  in  most  cases,  simply  that  of 
the  last  brochure.  Such  publications,  therefore,  have  both  a  real  and 
an  apparent  date — the  real  date  being  the  time  of  publication  of  the 
separate  parts;  the  apparent  date  that  on  the  title  page.  These  two 
dates  may  vary  several  months  or  even  years,  as  in  the  case  of  the 
'Proceedings  of  the  U.  S.  National  Museum,'  'Proceedings  of  the 
Zoological  Society  of  London'  for  1850,  or  the  'Transactions  of  the 
Zoological  Society  of  London.'     An  extreme  case  is  that  of  Pallas'

"Zoologia  Rosso-  Asiatica/  quoted  by  some  authors  as  1811  and  br- 
others as  1831.  This  discrepancy  in  dates  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the 
work  was  partially  distributed  in  1811,  but  not  completed  until  twenty 
years  later.  New  genera  and  species  described  in  such  works,  if  quoted 
from  the  date  of  completion,  may  be  incorrectly  considered  synonyms 
of  other  names  which  really  appeared  later. 

Since,  as  already  mentioned,  a  difference  of  a  few  months  or  even  a 
few  days  may  determine  the  acceptance  or  rejection  of  a  name,  it  is 
important  to  ascertain,  with  as  much  accuracy  as  possible,  the  exact 
date  of  publication,  and  no  effort  has  been  spared  to  attain  this  object. 
In  the  present  index,  when  the  real  date  differs  from  the  apparent 
date,  both  are  cited,  the  latter  being-  given  in  parentheses  or  in  the 
form  'for  1850',  etc.,  followed  by  the  real  date  at  the  end  of  the  refer- 
ence. In  recent  years  considerable  labor  has  been  expended  in  ascer- 
taining the  dates  of  publication  of  some  of  the  more  important 
zoological  works,  and  several  special  papers  on  this  subject  have  been 
published,  chiefly  by  Richmond,  Sclater,  Sherborn,  and  Waterhouse.

AUTHORITIES  AND  LOCALITIES. 
AUTHORITIES. 

Special  care  has  been  taken  to  credit  each  name  to  its  proper  author, 
but  in  a  few  cases  the  original  authority  still  remains  in  doubt.  Occa- 
sionally genera  have  been  accredited  to  the  editor  of  a  serial  or  work 
if  the  author's  name  does  not  appear,  but  for  a  few  names  published 
in  the  '  London  Encyclopedia '  even  this  was  unattainable.  Double 
citations  of  authorities  have  been  given  only  where  absolutely  neces- 
sary, as  in  the  cases  of  manuscript  names,  misprints,  and  emendations. 
For  example,  Tonatia  is  quoted  as  '  Gray  in  Griffith's  Cuvier '  for  the 
reason  that  the  name,  while  published  by  Griffith,  is  distinctly  cred- 
ited to  Gray;  Blainmllimys  is  given  as  '  Bravard  (MS.)  Gervais '  since 
it  is  credited  to  Bravard,  but  dates  from  the  time  of  its  publication  by 
Gervais.  Similarly  a  few  names  in  Pictefs  '  Traite  de  Paleontologie ' 
and  other  works  are  credited  to  the  original  authors,  but  quoted  from

the  authority  by  whom  they  were  first  published.  Misprints  and 
emendations  are  sometimes  given  in  the  form  iKolus  (A.  Smith)  Gray ' 
in  order  to  connect  the  changed  spelling  with  the  original  name. 

LOCALITIES. 

In  modern  systematic  work  the  statement  of  the  type  locality  of  a 
species  is  considered  almost  as  important  as  the  reference  to  the  origi- 
nal description.  An  attempt  has  been  made,  therefore,  to  give  such 
information  as  is  available  concerning  the  locality  of  the  type  species 
of  each  genus,  but  with  only  fairly  satisfactory  results.  In  the  case  of 
genera  based  on  American  species,  and  especially  those  based  on  North 
American  species,  the  t}Tpe  localities  are  usually  stated  with  some  degree 
of  precision;  but  in  the  case  of  genera  based  on  Old  "World  species  the 
statements  concerning  localities  are  often  indefinite  and  may  consist 
simply  of  the  name  of  the  country  or  the  region  in  which  the  species 
is  known  to  occur.  In  the  case  of  extinct  groups  the  statement  may 
mention  simply  the  bed  or  formation  in  which  the  remains  have  been 
found,  but  to  readers  familiar  with  the  paleontology  of  the  region  this 
will  often  be  clearer  than  reference  to  the  nearest  town,  river,  or 
mountain.  The  statement,  if  any,  concerning  the  locality  in  the 
original  description  has  been  generally  followed  unless  too  indefinite 
or  known  to  be  erroneous,  but  subsequent  information  has  been  freely 
used  in  throwing  light  on  obscure  type  localities.  Not  only  have  the 
places  been  given  with  as  much  precision  as  possible,  but  they  have 
been  looked  up  and,  when  necessary,  enough  explanation  has  been 
added  to  facilitate  finding  most  of  them  on  any  good,  modern  map. 
While  much  remains  to  be  done  in  determining  the  exact  localities 
from  which  species  have  been  described,  particularly  in  the  case  of 
Old  World  mammals,  the  statements  given  are  as  complete  as  the 
information  at  hand  would  permit. 

TYPES  AND  THEIR  DETERMINATION. 

Great  importance  was  formerly  attached  by  some  zoologists  to  the 
definition  of  a  genus,  and  the  late  Prof.  Cope  even  went  so  far  as 
to  declare  that  a  genus  proposed  by  merely  naming  the  species  on 
which  it  was  based  (a  'typonym')  was  not  entitled  to  recognition.  But, 
as  Dr.  Gill  explains:" 

The  demand  in  such  case  is  simply  that  the  definition  shall  he  made.  It  may 
be  inaccurate  or  not  to  the  point;  it  may  be  given  up  at  once,  and  never  adopted  by 
the  author  himself  afterwards,  or  by  anyone  else.  Nevertheless,  the  condition  is 
fulfilled  by  the  attempt  to  give  the  definition.  .  .  .  Certainly  it  is  more  rational  to 
accept  a  typonym  than  to  require  a  definition  for  show  rather  than  use.  Neverthe- 
less, I  fully  recognize  the  obligation  of  the  genus  maker  to  indicate  by  diagnosis,  as 
well  as  type,  his  conception  of  generic  characters.

20  INDEX    GENERUM    MAMMA  LIUM. 

In  a  few  instances  genera  have  been  defined  without  mention  of  any 
species,  but  fortunately  such  cases  are  extremely  rare  in  mammalogy. 
Examples  may  be  found  in  ArrMysomus  Pomel,  1848,  and  Chalco- 
vliloi'ix"  Mivart,  1867,  two  names  for  a  subgenus  of  South  African 
golden  moles.  No  species  were  mentioned  in  the  original  descriptions, 
and  no  specific  names  seem  to  have  been  coupled  with  Amblysomus 
until  18T96  and  none  with  ( 'halcochloris  until  1883. 

The  term  type'  as  now  understood  was  unknown  a  century  ago,  aud 
the  importance  of  designating  some  one  species  on  which  the  descrip- 
tion of  the  group  had  been  based  was  not  appreciated  by  the  older 
naturalists.  A  genus  may  contain  ten  or  more  species  which  subse- 
quently are  found  to  represent  as  many  different  genera  or  subgenera. 
Under  such  circumstances  it  becomes  of  the  utmost  importance  to 
determine  which  one  should  bear  the  name  of  the  original  group.  To 
determine  this  point  is  often  an  exceedingly  difficult  matter  and  in 
complicated  cases  can  only  be  settled  after  a  full  consideration  of  the 
facts  by  one  who  is  engaged  in  monographing  the  group  or  who  is 
thoroughly  familial-  with  the  history  of  the  species  involved. 

As  Dr.  Dall  has  well  said,  w*No  arbitrary  rule  will  suffice  to  deter- 
mine, offhand,  questions  of  so  much  complication  as  is  often  the 
decision  in  regard  to  the  t\pe  of  an  ancient  genus  which  has  been 
studied  by  a  number  of  authors.""' 

To  meet  the  difficulties  which  frequently  arise  several  methods  of 
procedure  have  been  proposed.     The  most  important  of  these  are: 

(1)  Selection  of  the  first  species. 

(2)  The  species  selected  by  the  first  reviser  of  the  group. 

(3)  The  species,  if  any.  whose  name  has  subsequently  become  the 
designation  of  a  genus. 

(4)  Elimination  (especially  as  restricted  by  Canon  XXIII  of  the 
A.  O.  U.  Code).

<A  type  is  the  identical  individual  specimen  from  which  a  species  has  been  de- 
scribed. To  meet  the  demands  of  modern  systematists  Thomas  has  proposed  the 
following  terms  for  specimens  more  or  less  closely  associated  with  the  original  type: 

( 'otype:  "  One  of  two  or  more  specimens  together  forming  the  basis  of  a  species,  no 
type  having  been  selected." 

Paratope:  "A  specimen  belonging  to  the  original  scries,  but  not  the  type,  in  cases 
where  the  author  has  himself  selected  a  type." 

Topotype:  "A  specimen  simply  collected  at  the  exact  locality  where  the  original 
type  was  obtained." 

Metatype:  "A  specimen  received  from  the  original  locality  after  the  description 
has  been  published,  but  determined  as  belonging  to  his  own  species  by  the  original 
describer  himself." — Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  London,  1893,  242.

A    LIST    OF    THE    GENEKA    AND    FAMILIES    OF    MAMMALS.         21 

The  first  two  methods  date  back  to  the  '  Stricklandian  Code'  of  1S42, 
known  also  as  the  'Rules  of  the  British  Association.1  Both  have  been 
generally  advocated  and  more  or  less  generally  followed,  but  both  are 
beset  by  serious  objections.  The  simple  rule  of  adopting-  the  first 
species  as  the  type  fails  signally  when  applied  to  Liniuean  genera,  some 
of  which  seem  to  have  their  types  concealed  in  the  middle  of  a  list  of 
species.  Thus  the  type  of  Mustda  would  become  M.  lutris,  the  sea 
otter;  of  Mus,  M.  poroellus,  the  guinea  pig;  and  of  Cervus,  C.  camdo- 
pardalis,  the  giraffe.  The  adoption  of  the  verdict  of  the  first  reviser 
is  open  to  the  objection  of  leaving  too  much  to  personal  opinion  in 
determining  what  constitutes  revision  (monographing  the  group  or 
merely  enumerating  the  species).  Moreover,  there  is  always  the  diffi- 
culty of  actually  determining  which  author  was  really  the  first  to  revise 
the  group,  and  if  the  one  whose  verdict  has  been  generally  accepted 
proves  to  have  been  anticipated  by  another  of  different  views,  change 
and  consequent  shifting  of  names  are  inevitable. 

The  third  method  was  advocated  by  Prof.  Alfred  Newton"  about 
thirty  years  ago  and  has  recently  been  adopted  by  a  number  of  Ameri- 
can zoologists,-'  as  a  rule,  in  the  following  form:  "'A  generic  name 
which  is  the  same  as  that  of  an  explicitly  included  species  (or  a  cited 
post-Linnsean  synonym  of  such  species)  takes  that  species  as  its  type 
regardless  of  subsequent  elimination."  This  method  is  open  to  no 
serious  objection  and  disposes  satisfactorily  of  a  certain  class  of  cases 
which,  however,  are  rather  limited  in  number. 

The  fourth  method,  that  of  elimination,  is  applicable  when  others 
fail,  but  should  be  used  with  the  restrictions  provided  by  Canon  XXIII 
of  the  A.  O.  U.  Code  (p.  43).  "If,  however,  the  genus  contains  both 
exotic  and  non-exotic  species — from  the  standpoint  of  the  original 
author — and  the  generic  term  is  one  originally  applied  by  the  ancient 
Greeks  or  Romans,  the  process  of  elimination  is  to  be  restricted  to  the 
non-exotic  species." 

Recently  Dr.  Jordan,'  in  discussing  the  determination  of  types,  rec- 
ognized three  general  methods:  Following  the  arrangement  of  the 
original  author,  elimination,  accepting  the  type  designated  as  such  by 
the  original  author.  In  the  last  case  the  question  is  very  simple,  as  the 
statement  can  not  be  reversed  by  any  subsequent  writer.  If  no  type 
is  designated  he  favors  adopting  the  first  species  as  such,  with  certain 
exceptions.  The  five  principles  which  he  has  formulated  for  guidance 
in  determining  types  are  as  follows:    (1)    The  species  designated  as

such  by  its  author;  (2)  the  first  species  referred  to  the  genus,  or  the 
species  standing  first  on  the  page  if  no  t}Tpe  is  designated  explicitly  or 
otherwise;  (3)  in  the  case  of  Linnasan  genera,  the  best  known  European 
or  'officinal'  species  of  the  genus;  but  in  case  of  doubt,  the  first  spe- 
cies; (4)  the  species,  if  any,  which  lias  furnished  the  name  of  the  genus, 
provided  it  be  mentioned  by  the  author  of  the  genus;  (5)  in  case  of  old 
generic  names  restricted  by  common  consent  to  a  species  not  the  first 
mentioned  by  the  author,  such  species  may  be  accepted  as  the  type 
to  avoid  confusion,  provided  the  restriction  antedates  any  modern 
names  for  the  same  genus. 

As  already  stated,  an  attempt  was  first  made  in  the  preparation  of 
this  index  to  fix  the  type  of  each  genus,  but  afterwards  abandoned  in 
favor  of  the  expedient  of  enumerating  all  the  species  included  in  the 
genus  by  the  original  describer  and  marking  the  one  indicated  as  the 
type  by  a  subsequent  reviser  of  the  group. 

The  types  of  practically  all  the  genera  proposed  by  Linnaeus  have 
been  fixed  by  modern  workers:  those  published  by  Brisson  have  been 
fixed  by  Merriam;"  those  adopted  by  Kerr  and  Oken  have  been  deter- 
mined by  Allen;1''  those  proposed  by  Gloger  have  been  fixed  by 
Thomas;''  those  of  marsupials  and  monotremes  have  also  been  given 
by  Thomas ;d  those  of  antelopes  by  Sclater  and  Thomas;'  those  of 
existing  genera  of  South  African  mammals  by  W.  L.  Sclater ;;  those 
of  recent  North  American  genera  by  Merriam,  Allen,  Miller,  Bangs, 
and  Bailey;  those  of  most  of  the  extinct  genera  by  O.  P.  Hay;r/  and 
many  scattered  types  have  been  fixed  by  specialists.  Thus  the  type 
species  of  the  great  majority  of  existing  genera  are  now  determined 
with  some  degree  of  precision. 

HYPOTHETICAL.  GENERA. 

The  term  'hypothetical  genera1  is  here  used  to  include  genera  which 
are  based  on  characters  assumed  to  have  been  possessed  by  mammals 
still  unknown.  Probably  in  no  other  branch  of  zoology  has  this  device 
of  completing  the  paleontological  record  been  so  freely  used.  Nearly 
fifty  hypothetical  genera  of  mammals  have  been  published  during  the 
last  fifteen  years,  chiefly  by  Cope,  Haeckel,  and  Aineghino.  These

CHANGES  IN  FORM  OF  NAMES. 


EMENDATIONS. 

Probably  no  section  of  the  A.  O.  U.  Code  has  been  the  subject  of  so 
much  criticism  as  Canon  XL,  which  provides  that  "the  original 
orthography  of  a  name  is  to  be  rigidly  preserved,  unless  a  typograph- 
ical error  is  evident/1"  Stability  and  priority  are  two  of  the  cardinal 
principles  under  the  Code,  but  priority  is  merely  a  means  of  securing 
stability,  and  applies  as  well  to  the  adoption  of  the  earliest  name  as 
to  the  earliest  form  of  that  name.     Experience  has  shown  that  any

other  course  leaves  the  door  wide  open  to  emendation  and  resultant 
confusion. 

How  a  generic  name  should  be  spelled  may  seem  a  comparatively 
unimportant  matter,  but  questions  of  correct  form  have  in  certain 
cases  proved  very  fruitful  of  discussion.  Appropriateness  and  philo- 
logical elegance  in  scientific  names  are  duly  appreciated,  but  are  less 
important  than  permanence.  Correcting  misspelled  or  badly  formed 
words  causes  more  confusion  than  preservation  of  the  original  form.a 
Consequently  emendations  of  all  kinds  are  ignored  except  bjr  the  com- 
paratively few  authors,  who  refuse  to  adopt  a  name  which  they  con- 
sider misspelled,  even  though  the}'  may  differ  among  themselves  as  to 
the  correct  form.  This  diversity  of  opinion  exists  not  only  in  the 
case  of  words  of  barbarous  origin,  but  also  in  those  derived  from 
classical  roots  that  offer  a  choice  in  forming  compounds.  The  term 
'  variants '  is  here  used  to  cover  the  various  forms  of  names. 

Variants  are  properly  of  two  kinds — emendations  and  misprints;  but 
it  is  often  difficult  to  tell  whether  a  particular  form  of  a  word  is  a  cor- 
rection or  is  simply  a  misspelling,  due  to  inadvertence.  In  the  pres- 
ent list  special  care  has  been  taken  to  preserve  the  original  spelling  of 
eveiy  name,  and  to  give  the  more  important  variations. 

Emendations. — Some  of  the  variants  which  are  likely  to  prove  most 
troublesome  are  those  involving  a  change  in  the  initial  letter  in  trans- 
forming Greek  derivatives  into  Latin,  alteration  in  a  diphthong,  inser- 
tion of  h,  and  substitution  of  c  for  k.  Egocerus  has  been  corrected  to 
vEgocenis;  AUurus ;  to dElurus;  Aplocerus,  to  JTaplocerus;  Reithrodon, 
to  Rhithrodon;  Rytina,  to  RJn/tiiui;  Kobus,  to  ('"has;  Nesokia,  to 
JVesocia.  Greek  endings  and  diphthongs  are  similarly  modified  to 
convert  them  into  Latin  form.  Hipposideros  becomes  Hipposiderus; 
Cheiromys,  Chiromys;  Pithechew",  Pithechirus  or  Pithecochirus.  Pre- 
ferences in  spelling  are  illustrated  by  such  alterations  as  Allactdga  to 
Alactaga,  and  Ratelus  to  Ratelhis.  Still  more  radical  changes  have 
been  proposed,  such  as  emending  Aodon  to  Anodon,  Megacerqps  to 
Megaceratops,  and  Megatherium  to  Megalotherium.  It  has  even  been 
suggested  that  Ccelogenys  should  be  transformed  into  Genyscaslus,  on 
the  gTound  that  the  Latin  form  ( 1cdogenus  is  an  inaccurate  translitera- 
tion, since  the  Latin  u  does  not  correspond  to  the  Greek  upsilon,  and 
that  therefore  the  roots  should  be  reversed  in  order  to  obtain  a  proper 
ending.  To  illustrate  the  extent  to  which  emendation  may  be  carried, 
the  modifications  of  6  names  are  given  below;  but  the  most  remark- 

«  Hence  the  importance  of  following  the  suggestions  for  making  new  names  which 
accompany  the  recent  codes  on  nomenclature.  Two  papers  on  this  special  subject 
are:  Walter  Miller,  'Scientific  Names  of  Latin  and  Greek  Derivation,'  Proc.  Calif.

HERRERA's    MODIFIED    GENERIC    NAMES. 

Perhaps  the  most  radical  and  most  remarkable  system  of  emenda- 
tion ever  suggested  is  that  proposed  by  Prof.  A.  L.  Herrera.  He 
proposed  to  modify  all  existing  generic  names  in  such  a  way  that  the 
first  syllable  and  the  ending  should  indicate  the  class  and  the  king- 
dom to  which  the  genus  belonged;  names  of  animals  to  have  masculine 
endings,  those  of  plants  feminine  endings,  and  those  of  minerals  neuter 
endings;  and  the  class  to  be  indicated  by  prefixing  the  first  s}Tllable  of 
the  class  name.  Thus  all  generic  names  of  mammals  would  begin  with 
Mam,  those  of  birds  with  Ave,  those  of  reptiles  with  Re}>,  those  of 
batrachians  with  Batr,  and  those  of  fishes  with  Pis.  For  full  details 
of  this  scheme  of  nomenclature  the  reader  is  referred  to  Herrera's 
papers. b  The  only  modifications  of  mammal  names  published  in  the 
first  paper  are  those  in  the  following  list:

No  special  effort  has  been  made  to  collect  misprints,  for  an  attempt 
to  index  systematically  the  multitude  of  misspelled  names  which  occur 
in  scientific  works  and  serials  would  be  an  endless  undertaking-.  Many 
misprints,  however,  which  have  come  to  light  in  compiling  the  index, 
particularly  those  in  standard  catalogues  and  lists,  have  been  pre- 
served. Occasionally  it  is  impossible  to  tell  whether  a  word  is  a 
misprint  or  an  emendation;  and  some  misprints  are  not  only  unrecog- 
nizable (as  Jin in;  I n nus  for  Bunaelurus),  but  exceedingly  troublesome 
(as  ChcerojXitamus  for  Chcsropsis),a  since  they  seem  to  be  new  names  or 
take  forms  which  may  be  subsequently  proposed  for  valid  genera. 
Such  are  Cystophoca  for  Cystophora,  Desmatocyon1  for  Oynodesmus, 
JSbtomys  for  ffiooUymys,  Hyohi-ppus  for  Hypohippus,  Jacalius  for  Saca- 
////*,  Jirneus  for  Sunkus,  Lagocetus  for  Lagenocetus,  Microtolagus  for 
Maerotolagus,  Perascalops  for  Parascalops,  and  Scapasius  for  Scapanus. 

Although  it  would  seem  that  obvious  misprints  should  have  no  sta- 
tus in  nomenclature,  yet  several  cases  have  arisen  in  which  the  decision 
has  been  otherwise,  and  the  way  seems  to  be  opened  to  giving  them 
undue  importance.  Much  confusion  is  likely  to  arise  if,  as  has  some- 
times happened,  they  are  adopted  to  replace  preoccupied  names  or  are 
relied  upon  to  establish  the  validity  of  names  which  would  otherwise 
be  considered  preoccupied.  This  point  may  be  made  clearer  by  a  few 
examples  of  generic  names  of  fishes  and  mammals. 

In  ichthyology  variants  of  Thynnus  and  Orcynus  have  been  pro- 
posed to  replace  the  names  from  which  they  have  been  derived  because 
the  latter  are  preoccupied.  In  1817  Cuvier  proposed  two  subgenera 
of  Scomber  {Thynnus  and  Orcynus),  which  were  subsequently  com- 
bined by  many  ichthyologists  under  the  name  Thynnus.  In  1861  Gill 
replaced  Thynnus  by  Orycnus,  due  simply  to  a  misreading  of  the  name 
Orcynus,  and  subsequently  replaced  it  by  Orcynus  in  its  proper  form. 
In  1863  Dr.  J.  G.  Cooper  recognized  the  two  groups  of  Cuvier,  adopt- 

a  Beddard,  Textbook  Zoogeography,  100,  1895. 
b  Possibly  an  emendation  and  not  a  misprint.

ing  Orycnus  Gill  (instead  of  Thynnus)  for  one  and  Orcynus  for  the 
other.  In  1894  Gill  showed  that  Thunnus  of  South,  1845,  antedated 
Orycnus,  and  this  name  has  been  adopted  by  Jordan  and  Evermann.0 
In  revising  the  group  in  1889,  Dresslar  and  Fesler  stated  the  case 
as  follows: 

The  name  Orycnus  was  first  used  by  Dr.  Gill  in  1862.  It  was  due  to  a  misreading 
of  Cuvier's  name  Orcynus  and  it  should  be  placed  in  the  category  of  emendations  of 
that  name.  If  the  name  itself  is  preoccupied,  erroneous  or  various  spellings  of  it 
due  to  misprints,  misreadings,  or  purism  ought  to  be  preoccupied  also.  Orcynus  had 
been  previously  used  when  Cuvier  gave  it  as  the  name  of  the  long-finned  Tunnies. 
To  spell  it  Orycnus  does  not  save  it.  .  .  .  The  name  Orycnus  Cooper,  it  seems  to  us, 
is  preoccupied  by  its  previous  use  for  another  genus  or  subgenus  by  Gill.  It  is, 
therefore  ineligible.  In  other  words,  a  generic  name  originating  in  a  misprint  of  a 
well-known  name  can  not  be  later  used  as  the  name  of  another  genus.  & 

The  opposite  view,  however,  was  taken  by  Dr.  Gill,  who  in  the 
same  year  comments  on  the  case  as  follows: 

As  Thynnus  is  preoccupied  in  insects,  the  name  Orycnus,  applied  by  Gill  to  the 
same  type,  may  perhaps  be  retained  although  founded  on  a  mistake.  .  .  .  The  present 
author  would  have  been  glad  if  the  name  Orycnus  could  have  fallen  into  'innocuous 
desuetude,'  but  inasmuch  as  it  had  been  specifically  and  with  malice  prepense  resur- 
rected and  proposed  for  retention  by  Cooper,  it  must  surely  be  retained  for  the  genus 
comprising  the  Tunny  and  Albicore.  <' 

Later,  in  1894,  he  proposed  to  adopt  Thunnus  on  the  following 
grounds: 

The  name  Thunnus  was  thus  suggested  and  used  as  a  substitute  for  Thynnus  and 

as  sufficiently  distinct  from  the  latter;  it  has  classical  sanction,  the  form  Thunnus 
being  the  regular  one  and  preferred  by  many  scholars  to  Thynnus.  Thunnus,  it  is 
true,  is  a  mere  variant  of  Thynnus,  but,  being  a  variant,  it  is  different  and  as  different, 
was  formally  introduced  as  a  substitute  for  Thynnus.  By  most  American  ichthyolo- 
gists it  will  therefore  be  accepted.  ,] 

Similar  cases  have  occurred  in  the  generic  names  of  mammals, 
Recently  Waite  in  proposing  the  name  Thylacomys  for  an  Australian 
mouse,  called  attention  to  an  obscure  name  given  by  Owen  many 
years  previously  to  a  group  of  marsupials,  but  contended  that  because 
the  latter  was  spelled  Thalacomys  (an  obvious  misprint),  it  did  not 
preoccupy  his  name.  Subsequently  it  was  shown  that  Owen's  name 
was  in  reality  first  printed  Thylacomys,  but  it  appeared  in  one  pub- 
lication and  the  description  in  another,  so  that  the  name  might  be 
considered  a  nomen  nudum.  It  had,  however,  been  used  afterwards  in 
correct  form  in  connection  with  a  marsupial  prior  to  its  application  to 
a  mouse.  Waite  thereupon  admitted  that  his  Thylacomys  was  pre- 
occupied and  replaced  it  by  a  new  name.  Thomas,  while  admitting 
the  claims  of  Owen's  name,  with  characteristic  caution  preferred  to

adopt  the  evident  misprint,  Thalacomys,  which  was  published  with  a 
description,  instead  of  the  correct  and  really  earlier  Thylacomys. 

In  Wallace's  "Geographical  Distribution,'  published  in  1876,  JVec- 
tornys  is  given  by  mistake  as  JVeotomys.  The  accompanying  species 
indicate  that  Nectomys  is  intended.  Fourteen  years  later,  in  1890, 
Thomas  proposed  JVeotomys  as  a  distinct  genus.  The  question  arises, 
Shall  Wallace's  Weotomys  be  recognized  as  preoccupying  the  later  and 
otherwise  valid  generic  name  ? 

Thomas  in  1896  proposed  the  name  Graurothrix  to  replace  Echi- 
othrix  Gray,  1867,  because  the  latter  was  preoccupied  by  Echinothrix 
Peters,  1853.  In  1898,  however,  he  abandoned  Granirothrix  on  the 
ground  that  Echiothrix  was  sufficiently  distinct  from  Echinothrix.0 
Recently  he  has  also  maintained  that  the  misspelled  form  in  which 
Stenorhynchus  was  first  published  was  sufficient  to  protect  it  against 
preoccupation.  He  says  the  "original  and  still  well-known  name 
was  spelt  Stenorhinchus  on  its  first  publication  in  1826,  and  I  hold 
that  the  name  is  not  invalidated  by  the  Stenorhynchus  or  Qtenorynchus 
of  earlier  authors."6 

A  striking  example  of  the  results  of  carrying  out  this  theory  to  an 
extreme  is  shown  in  the  case  of  the  African  barbets.  The  genus 
Pogonias  was  described  byllliger  in  1811,  based  on  Bucco  cktbms.  In 
1815  Leach c  described  three  additional  species,  which  he  named  Pogo- 
nia  sulcirostris,  Pogonia  la&oirostris,  and  Pogonvus  vieilloti.  He  also 
referred  incidentally  to  lamirostris  as  Pogonias  lamrostris,  thus  using 
the  genus  in  three  different  forms  in  the  same  volume.  These  three 
species  now  stand  as  Pogonorhynchus  dubius  {=  sulcirostris),  Melano- 
bucco  hidentatus  (=ldevirostris),  and  M.  vieilloti.  Pogonorhynchus, 
proposed  in  1833,  is  now  used  instead  of  Pogonias,  the  latter  being 
preoccupied  by  Pogonias  Lacepede,  1800,  a  genus  of  fishes.  Melcmo- 
bucco  was  described  in  1889,  the  type  being  bidentatus  (=ldewrostris). 
If  Stenorhinchus  is  sufficiently  distinct  from  Stenorhynchus,  Pogonia 
is  certainly  different  from  Pogonias,  and  the  various  forms  of  the  name 
published  in  1815  ought  to  be  available  as  valid  names.  It  may  there- 
fore be  claimed  that  Pogonia  used  with  sulcirostris  has  precedence  as 
an  earlier  name  for  the  genus  now  known  as  Pogonorhynchus,  and 
Pogonius  used  with  vieilloti  as  the  earliest  name  applied  to  the  group 
Melanobucco. 

If  misprints  are  to  be  given  such  importance  as  indicated  in  these 
examples,  JVeotomys  Thomas,  1890,  must  be  considered  preoccupied, 
Oystophoca  is  barred  forever  as  a  generic  name,  and  some  misspelling 
found  in  an  obscure  reference  is  likely  to  become  the  proper  designa- 
tion for  each  group  whose  name  is  preoccupied.

REJECTION  OF  NAMES. 

Many  names  which  now  pass  current  were  refused  recognition  by 
some  of  the  older  zoologists,  owing  to  derivation  from  barbarous  roots, 
or,  where  derived  from  Latin  or  Greek  roots,  because  of  being  com- 
pounded in  violation  of  classical  rules.  This  action  was  based  on 
certain  principles  of  nomenclature  laid  down  by  Linnaeus  in  1751  in 
his  'Philosophia  Botanica.'  llliger/'  among  others,  regularly  renamed 
genera  derived  from  native  words  and  gave  a  list  of  the  names  he 
rejected  according  to  the  rules  of  Linnaeus.  He  discarded  hybrids, 
such  as  Hyd/rogallina  (223);''  compounds  of  a  syllable  of  one  word 
with  the  whole  of  another,  as  Mehtrsus  (221);  genera  formed  by  pre- 
fixes, as  Perameles  (225),  or  suffixes,  as  Balsenoptera  and  Ihlphin- 
apterm  (227);  words  ending  in  oides,  as  Talpoirf<a  (226);  adjectives  used 
as  substantives,  as  Ocmdwolvulus,  Mdlwora,  Setifer  (235);  '  sesqui- 
pedal'  names,  or  names  difficult  to  pronounce,  as  Hyperoodon  (249); 
names  based  on  a  misconception  of  characters,  as  Monodon  (232); 
names  derived  from  terms  used  in  anatomy  or  the  arts,  as  Arvicola, 
Lotor,  Spectrum  (231).  It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  say  that  none  of 
these  rules  are  recognized  in  modern  codes  and  none  of  the  names 
mentioned  are  rejected  merely  on  account  of  their  construction.  Some 
modern  authors  even  preserve  native  names  and  advocate  their  gen- 
eral adoption  (see  pp.  15-46).  The  A.  O.  U.  Code  provides  (Canon 
XXXI)  that  "  Neither  generic  nor  specific  names  are  to  be  rejected 
because  of  barbarous  origin,  for  faulty  construction,  for  inapplica- 
bility of  meaning,  or  for  erroneous  signification." 

According  to  this  Code,  generic  names  can  be  rejected  on  only  three 
grounds,  viz,  (a)  because  they  are  preoccupied;  (b)  because  they  are 
nomina  nuda;  (c)  because  thev  are  indeterminate,  through  lack  of  type 
or  insufficient  definition  (Canons  XXXIII,  XXXIV,  XXXVI).  For 
present  purposes  it  will  be  more  convenient  to  consider  rejection  of 
names  under  six  divisions,  viz,  preoccupied  names,  nomina  nuda,  inde- 
terminate names,  French  and  common  names,  plural  subgeneric  names, 
and  names  of  genera  that  properly  belong  in  other  classes. 

PREOCCUPIED  NAMES. 

"  A  homonym  is  one  and  the  same  name  for  two  or  more  different 
things. ,,<:'  Generic  homonyms  arise  in  two  ways:  (1)  Through  igno- 
rance or  inadvertence;  (2)  through  transfer  or  change  of  type.  These 
two  causes  of  origin  may  be  illustrated  by  the  following  examples: 
Psammomys  was  originally  applied  by  Cretzschmar  in  1828  to  a  group 

"Prod.  Syst.  Mamm.  et  Avium,  pp.  xvii-xviii,  1811. 

&  These  numbers  refer  to  the  rules  of  Linnaeus'  '  Philosophia  Botanica.'

of  gerbilles  (Gerbillina?)  of  northeast  Africa.  The  same  name  was  pro- 
posed by  Le  Conte  in  1830  for  a  group  of  meadow  mice  (Microtinae) 
from  Georgia,  and  by  Pceppig  in  1S35  for  a  group  of  octodonts  (Octo- 
dontina?)  from  Chile.  Both  Le  Conte  and  Pceppig  were  evidently 
ignorant  of  the  previous  use  of  Psammomys  at  the  time  their  descrip- 
tions were  published.  Orca  was  applied  by  Wagler  in  1830  to  a  group 
of  toothed  whales,  including  Delphinus  Mdentatus  and  D.  desmaresti, 
while  Tursio  was  used  by  him  for  Delphinus  peronii  from  the  southern 
seas.  Gra}T  in  1846  adopted  Delphina/pterus  for  the  latter  species  and 
transferred  the  name  Tursio  to  another  group  of  dolphins  typified  by 
Delphinus  tursio  from  the  North  Atlantic  and  North  Sea.  In  both 
these  cases  the  names  used  by  the  later  authors  are  homonyms,  pro- 
posed inadvertently  in  the  case  of  Psammomys  and  intentionally  in  the 
case  of  Tursio.  The  extent  to  which  such  homonyms  have  been  pub 
lished  has  not  been  generally  appreciated.  About  150  useless  names 
are  attributable  to  this  source  alone,  and  most  of  them  would  not 
have  been  published  if  their  authors  had  used  more  care  or  had  had 
access  to  a  fairly  complete  list  of  the  genera  of  mammals  already  pro- 
posed. A  full  list  of  the  duplicated  names  is  given  below,  and  one  of 
the  objects  of  this  index  will  have  been  attained  if  such  duplication 
of  mammal  names  is  avoided  in  future.

Besides  this  duplication  within  the  class  Mammalia,  many  more  names 
have  been  proposed  which  have  been  previously  used  in  other  classes,  so 
that  the  total  number  of  preoccupied  names  constitutes  a  very  appre- 
ciable percentage  of  the  total  number  of  generic  names.  Canon 
XXXIII  of  the  A.  O.  U.  Code  declares  that  "a  generic  name  is  to 
be  changed  which  has  been  previously  used  for  some  other  genus  in 
the  same  kingdom.'1  Simple  as  this  statement  is,  it  has  probably 
given  rise  to  more  discussion  and  to  more  changes  of  names  than 
any  other  rule  in  the  Code,  merely  because  of  differences  in  its 
interpretation. 

In  the  acceptance  and  use  of  names  some  zoologists  disregard  the 
rule  entirely,  but  of  those  that  recognize  its  validity  some  apply  it 
only  to  names  previously  used  in  the  same  class,  others  only  to  names 
which  are  identical  in  spelling,  and  still  others  to  names  derived  from 
the  same  roots.  The  first  of  these  interpretations  is  obviously  out  of 
accord  with  the  rule.  The  second  is  perhaps  open  to  question,  but 
the  test  being  merely  identity  of  spelling  there  can  be  no  difficulty  in 
its  application,  even  in  the  rare  cases  of  names  of  the  same  form  but 
of  different  meanings,  due  to  different  derivations,  as,  for  example, 
Neoinys  Kaup,  1829  (veao,  to  swim;  /ivs,  mouse),  and  JVeomys  Gray, 
1873  (veog,  new,  ^tvs,  mouse).  The  chief  differences  in  opinion  have 
arisen  in  the  application  of  the  last  class  of  interpretations,  which 
includes  names  of  the  same  derivation,  but  with  slight  differences  in 
form  clue  to  gender,  choice  of  connecting  vowel  of  compound  words,

or  presence  or  absence  of  aspirates.  Some  eminent  zoologists  maintain 
that  a  difference  of  a  single  letter  in  two  names  is  sufficient  to  pre- 
vent the  later  one  from  being  preoccupied,  and  cite  such  cases  as 
Pious  and  Pica.  Galeus  and  Gale,  in  support  of  their  position.  It  is 
generally  admitted  that  these  names  should  all  stand,  since  they  are 
taken  from  classical  words  which  were  originally  applied  to  very  dis- 
tinct organisms;  and  the  validity  of  this  argument  is  generally  recog- 
nized in  spite  of  Principle  V  of  the  A.  O.  U.  Code,  which  declares 
that  "a  name  is  only  a  name,  having  no  meaning  until  invested  with 
one  by  being  used  as  the  handle  of  a  fact,  and  the  meaning  of  a  name 
so  used  in  zoological  nomenclature  does  not  depend  upon  its  signifi- 
cation in  any  other  connection."  While  the  question  of  derivation 
does  not  necessarily  enter  into  the  availability  of  a  name,  it  may  serve 
a  useful  purpose  as  a  guide  in  deciding  whether  names  are  preoccupied 
or  not,  as  will  be  seen  by  some  of  the  examples  cited  later.  A  large 
number  of  names  comprise  derivatives  and  compounds  of  the-  same 
Greek  or  Latin  words.     These  names  may  have  different  forms: 

(a)  According  to  gender,  as  Otostomus,  Otostoma,  Otostomum. 
Otostomis  Menke,  1830,  a  mollusk;  Otostomus  Beck,  1837,  a  mollusk; 
Otostoma  Carter,  1856,  a  protozoan;  Otostomum  Ehrenberg,  1872,  a 
protozoan,  all  evidently  derived  from  the  same  Greek  words,  ovg,  ear, 
and  ffrofxa,  mouth. 

(b)  According  to  the  particular  Greek  dialect  from  which  the  words 
have  been  selected,  as  Lam/pronessa  and  La/nvpronetta.  Both  these 
names  are  compounds  of  \afA7tpos,  splendid,  and  vrjtToc,  duck;  but  in 
the  former  the  Epic  or  Ionic  form,  vfjGGoc,  is  used  and  in  the  latter  its 
Attic  equivalent,  vrjrta, 

(c)  According  to  whether  the  original  Greek  form  has  been  pre- 
served or  whether  it  has  been  transliterated  into  Latin  form,  as  Ilip- 
posideros  and  Hipposiderus. 

(d)  According  to  whether  the  Greek  aspirate  has  been  preserved 
or  not,  as  Abrothrix  and  Hdbrotfarix;  Reithrodon  and  Rhithrodon. 

(e)  According  to  whether  the  connecting  vowel  i  or  o  has  been  used 
in  compounding  two  classical  roots,  as  Callorhimts  and  Oallirhinus. 

It  is  therefore  possible  to  make  a  number  of  compounds  from  the 
same  words,  all  meaning  the  same  thing,  and  differing  from  one  another 
simply  by  a  letter  or  two.  This  may  be  illustrated  by  compounds  of 
Ka\og,a  beautiful,  and  fivs,  mouse.  The  following  list  contains  no  less 
than  16  variations  compounded  from  these  words  in  accordance  with 
classical  rules,  two  of  which,  Calomys  and  Callomys,  have  actually  been 
proposed  for  different  genera  of  mice. 

Calimys.  Calimus.  Kalimys.  Kalimus. 

Calomys.  Calomus.  Kalomys.  Kalornus.

Callomys.  Callomus.  Kallomys.  Kallomus.

These  16  variations  of  'beautiful  mouse' are  all  available  as  valid 
generic  designations  of  mammals  (if  applied  to  different  animals), 
according  to  those  who  "regard  all  generic  names  as  different  unless 
originally  spelled  alike.'1" 

In  common  English  no  difference  is  recognized  between  enclosure  and 
inclosure,  gray  and  grey,  meter  and  metre,  program  and  programme, 
theater  and  theatre,  and  similar  words.  Generic  names  derived  from 
the  same  words  in  the  same  way,  and  therefore  having  the  same  mean- 
ing, even  though  differing  in  gender  or  connecting  vowel,  should  like- 
wise be  considered  identical.  For  the  sake  of  expediency  or  that  there 
may  be  an  ironclad  rule  which  all  may  follow,  the  opposite  course  is 
adopted  by  some  writers,  but  agreement  in  the  matter  seems  almost 
impossible.  A  list  is  here  given  of  43  actual  cases  which  occur  in 
mammalogy  and  ornithology.

Dr.  Gill  states  his  position  as  follows:  "  I  agree  with  those  who  think  that  even  a  difference  of  a 
single  letter  in  most  cases  is  sufficient  to  entitle  two  or  more  generic  names  so  differing  to  stand. 
The  chemist  has  found  such  a  difference  not  only  ample,  but  most  convenient  to  designate  the 
valency  of  different  compounds,  as  ferricyanogen  and  ferrocyanogen.  I  am  prepared  now  to  go  back 
on  myself  in  this  respect."     (Proc.  Am.  Ass.  Adv.  Sci.,  XLV,  pp.  15-16,  1896.)

The  late  Professor  Marsh,  in  explaining-  his  reasons  for  retaining 
Titanotherium,  says : 

The  generic  name  Titanotherium  Leidy  is  antedated  by  Menodus  Pomel  [1849]. 
The  latter,  however,  is  essentially  the  same  word  as  Menodon  von  Meyer  1838, 
and  is  also  objectionable  in  its  form;  hence  Titanotherium  should  be  retained/' 

This  action  was  endorsed  by  Professor  Osborn.*  Professor  Cope, 
who  was  originally  an  ardent  supporter  of  the  validity  of  names  differ- 
ing by  one  letter,  modified  his  attitude  shortly  before  his  death,  so  far 
as  to  change  some  of  his  names  which  he  feared  might  be  considered 
preoccupied.  Referring  in  1894  to  his  own  genus  Calamodon,  pro- 
posed twenty  years  before,  he  said: 

A  genus  of  birds  has  been  named  Calamodus  [by  Kaup,  in  1829],  a  name  which  is  in 
my  opinion  abundantly  distinct  from  Calamodon.  As,  however,  there  are  persons 
who,  like  the  American  Ornithologists'  Union,  will  make  this  resemblance  an  excuse 
for  changing  the  name,  I  suggest  that  they  call  it  Conicodon,  from  the  shape  of  the 
molars  as  distinguished  from  those  of  Stylinodon.  c 

In  view  of  this  divergence  of  opinion  regarding  preoccupied  names,

38  INDEX  GENERUM  MAMMALIUM. 

workers.  Special  care  has  been  taken  to  refer  not  only  to  the  names 
which  preoccupy  mammal  names,  but  also  to  designations  which  have 
been  proposed  to  replace  them.  In  marking  names  as  preoccupied 
the  author  has  not  been  governed  by  his  personal  views  on  the  subject, 
but  has  endeavored  rather  to  subordinate  these  to  general  utility. 
And  before  accepting  the  statement  that  a  certain  name  is  preoccupied, 
the  reader  is  cautioned  to  consult  such  name  and  determine  whether 
the  statement  coincides  with  his  own  views. 

NOMINA   NUDA." 

Nomina  nuda  are  generally  regarded  as  having  no  standing  in 
nomenclature,  but  it  is  not  always  easy  to  decide  whether  a  name  is  a 
nomen  nudum,  except  where  it  is  published  in  a  list.  Ordinarily  a 
genus  is  considered  sufficiently  characterized  if  its  type  species  is  men- 
tioned, but  in  case  the  name  of  this  type  itself  happens  to  be  a  nomen 
nudum  the  generic  name  has  no  standing  until  the  species  has  been 
properly  described.  And  if  this  generic  name  proves  to  be  preoccupied 
and  another  one  is  substituted  for  it,  the  substituted  name  is  also  a 
nomen  nudum  unless  accompanied  by  a  diagnosis  or  based  on  a  recog- 
nizable species.  If  the  nomen  nudum  afterward  becomes  available 
through  description,  reference  to  that  description  accompanies  the 
generic  name  in  the  index  and  the  name  itself  dates  from  this  later 
publication.  Thus  Rh/mosciurus  Gray  was  published  in  1843  with 
M.  tupaioides  from  Singapore  as  the  type.  The  specitic  name,  how- 
ever, was  a  nomen  nudum  and  remained  undefined  until  Blyth,  in 
1855,  described  the  species  as  Sc\iurus\  twpaioides  from  a  specimen 
taken  in  Malacca.-'  In  1867  Gray  again  published  the  genus/  but  the 
type  having  been  described  in  1855,  the  genus  may  be  considered  to 
date  from  that  year  instead  of  1813,  the  time  of  first  publication,  or 
1867,  the  time  of  first  publication  after  description  of  the  type  species. 
Some  generic  names  which  are  practically  nomina  nuda  have  doubtless 
been  admitted  on  the  basis  of  a  brief  description,  but  such  cases  can 
be  detected  only  by  specialists  who  by  working  over  the  groups  are  in 
a  position  to  decide  whether  or  not  the  characters  assigned  constitute 
a  recognizable  description.  The  modern  almost  universal  practice  of 
mentioning  some  species  with  the  genus  tends  to  reduce  the  number 
of  such  names. 

INDETERMINATE    NAMES. 

Rarer  even  than  nomina  nuda,  but  still  worthy  of  special  mention, 
arc  a  few  cases  in  which  generic  names  have  been  given  to  animals 
that  never  existed.     Examples  of  these  are  Sukotyro  of  Kerr,  based

stonhaugh,  based  on  a  supposed  fossil  found  in  Somerset  Count}7, 
Pennsylvania,  which  proved  to  be  only  a  fragment  of  rock. 

FRENCH   AND   COMMON    NAMES. 

French  names  have  given  much  trouble  in  preparing  this  index, 
owing  to  the  fact  that  it  has  been  a  very  common  custom  to  quote  them 
in  Latin  form,  but  with  the  date  of  their  first  publication  as  French 
words.  Many  of  Cuvier's  genera  were  first  proposed  under  French 
names,  and  these  were  not  Latinized  until  some  years  later.  Obviously 
such  names  have  no  more  claim  to  recognition  than  English,  German, 
Arabic,  or  barbarous  common  names.  But  their  similarity  of  form 
to  Latin  names,  and  the  almost  universal  practice  of  treating  them  as 
such,  make  it  sometimes  difficult  to  ascertain  their  real  date;  and  it 
may  happen  that  in  a  few  instances  changes  are  necessary  because  such 
words  are  antedated  by  valid  generic  names.  In  order  to  bring  out 
this  point  more  clearly,  references  are  given  in  the  index  both  to  the 
first  publication  in  French  and  the  first  publication  in  Latin  form,  but 
the  name  takes  its  date  from  the  latter  publication.  In  a  few  uncer- 
tain cases  French  names  have  been  given  the  benefit  of  the  doubt  and 
treated  as  Latin  words  in  order  to  avoid  the  chance  of  necessitating 
undue  change  through  the  rejection  of  names  which  should  properly 
be  accepted. 

The  case  of  Priodon,  a  genus  of  edentates  from  Paraguay,  is  a  good 
example  of  the  uncertainty  attached  to  names  originally  published  in 
French  form.  Priodon  is  usually  quoted  as  Cuvier  1822,  but  seems 
to  have  appeared  in  that  year  only  in  the  form  'Priodonte.'0  In  1827 
the  name  was  used  as  a  Latin  word  in  the  form  Priodontes?  but  it 
does  not  seem  to  have  been  used  in  the  form  Priodon  until  1831/'  In 
1813  it  was  modified  to  Prionodon,'1  a  name  which,  however,  had  been 
proposed  by  Horsfield  in  1821  for  a  genus  of  ViverricUe  from  Java. 
Recently  Thomas,  accepting  the  current  date  of  Cuvier's  Priodon,  has 
adopted  Linsang  Miiller  1839,  instead  of  Prionodon  Horsfield/  on  the 
ground  that  the  latter  is  preoccupied  b}T  Priodon  Cuvier  1822,  although, 
as  shown,  Cuvier's  genus  does  not  seem  to  have  been  published  in 
Latin  form  until  1827,  three  years  after  the  publication  of  Prionodon 
Horsfield.

40  INDEX    GENERUM    MAMMALIUM. 

PLURAL    SUBGENERIC    NAMES. 

Some  authors  have  designated  within  a  genus  one  or  more  subgen- 
eric  groups,  and  to  the  sections  thus  formed  applied  names  in  plural 
form.  These  names  are  occasionally  quoted  in  the  singular  by  other 
authors  as  valid  subgenera  or  genera,  being  assigned  to  the  author 
who  originally  formed  the  group,  and  dated  from  his  publication. 
Thus  Lydekker  in  "Deer  of  all  Lands.'  1898  (p.  125),  quotes  Palmatus 
Giebel,  1859,  as  one  of  the  synon}rmsof  Damn.  Reference  to  Giebel's 
'  Saugethiere '  shows  that  the  name  was  originally  published  Palmati, 
including  Cervus  dama  and  0.  somonensis.  Wagner  also  recognized  a 
number  of  subdivisions  of  Felis  under  plural  names,  e.  g.,  Leonina>\ 
ServaUnae,  and  Tigrmae,  and  these  have  recently  been  revived  by 
Greve  under  the  forms  Zeonina,  Servalina,  and  Tigrina.  The  rule 
adopted  in  this  index  has  been  to  ignore  plural  names  as  having  no 
more  status  than  common  names  unless  subsequently  used  in  the  sin- 
gular, when  they  date  from  the  later  author,  although  in  such  cases  a 
reference  to  the  earlier  name  is  added.  Following  are  a  few  of  these 
names :

GENERA    BELONGING   TO   OTHER   CLASSES. 

The  last  group  of  rejected  names  to  be  considered  is  that  comprising 
those  accompanied  by  descriptions  and  based  on  valid  species,  but  now 
known  to  belong  to  groups  other  than  mammals,  and  hence  not  properly 
entitled  to  a  place  in  this  index.  These  are  mainly  designations  of 
certain  fossils  first  described  from  fragmentary  remains,  the  relation- 
ship of  which  could  not  be  determined  with  certainty.  This  group  con- 
tains two  kinds  of  names:  (a)  Those  given  to  forms  originally  described

as  bona  fide  genera  of  mammals;  and  (b)  those  given  to  forms  referred 
to  the  class  Mammalia  through  error.  As  examples  of  the  last  kind 
may  be  mentioned  the  reptilian  genera  Brithojnts,  Kladeisteriodon, 
and  Orthopus,  and  the  fish  genus  Wallago,  which  were  inadvertently 
listed  as  mammals  in  the  Nomenclators  of  Agassiz  and  Scudder. 
These  names  have  not  been  admitted  in  the  body  of  the  index.  Those 
belonging  to  forms  described  as  mammals,  however,  are  listed  in  their 
proper  places  with  references  to  the  explanations  as  to  their  true  posi- 
tion. Altogether  a  score  of  such  names  must  be  rejected  or  rather 
transferred  to  other  groups.  As  shown  h\  the  following  list,  nearly 
all  of  these  names  belong  to  reptiles,  although  two  extinct  birds  of 
southern  Patagonia  were  originally  described  as  mammals,  and  one 
genus {Chwotherium)  was  doubtfully  referred  to  the  Mammalia  or  the 
Amphibia.  Threu  genera — Caryoderma  Cope,  Tritylodon  Owen,  and 
Theriodesmus  Seeley — have  been  considered  mammals  until  very 
recently.  The  Mesozoic  genera  Theriodesmus  and  Tritylodon, 
although  considered  as  representatives  of  the  earliest  ancestors  of  the 
Mammalia,  have  long  been  known  to  possess  reptilian  characters,  and 
are  now  regarded  as  true  reptiles.

ETYMOLOGY  OF  NAMES. 


It  is  generally  admitted  that  a  name  need  not  mean  anything,  and 
that  in  any  case  its  meaning  is  of  very  slight  importance  from  the 
standpoint  of  the  systematic  zoologist.  According  to  the  A.  O.  U. 
Code  of  Nomenclature,  "a  name  is  only  a  name,  having  no  meaning 


42  INDEX    GENERUM    MAMMALIUM. 

until  invested  with  one  b}^  being  used  as  a  handle  of  a  fact;  and  the 
meaning  of  a  name  so  used,  in  zoological  nomenclature,  does  not 
depend  on  its  signification  in  any  other  connection  "  (Principle  V).  In 
spite  of  this  declaration,  it  will  be  found  that  most  generic  names  have 
been  bestowed  for  the  sake  of  drawing  attention  to  some  characteristic 
or  resemblance  of  the  animal,  fancied  or  real.  The}T  may  contain  many 
facts  of  interest,  descriptive,  geographical,  or  historical,  and  the 
knowledge  of  such  derivation  ma}"  be,  and  often  is,  an  aid  in  keep- 
ing in  mind  the  relationship  of  the  group.  Unfortunately,  very  few 
authors  have  taken  the  trouble  to  give  etymologies  or  explain  the 
application  of  their  generic  names."  Agassiz  gave  derivations  in  his 
'Nomenclator  Zoological*'  and  his  example  has  been  followed  in  this 
list,  but  the  result  is  often  unsatisfactory.  In  some  cases  it  is  almost 
impossible  to  tell  what  the  derivation  is,  and  in  others  the  derivation 
may  be  clear,  but  the  application  very  obscure.  Some  of  the  explana- 
tions are  probably  erroneous,  but  with  no  guide  or  hint  from  the 
author  the  determination  of  etymology  is  oftentimes  little  better  than 
guesswork.  Liddell  &  Scott's  Greek-English  Lexicon  and  Harper's 
Latin  Dictionary  have  been  followed  for  classical  words,  and  liberal 
use  has  been  made  of  the  Century  Dictionary.  In  a  few  cases  the 
authorities  have  been  given  for  explanations  of  barbarous  names  or 
those  of  unusual  meaning. 

ETYMOLOGY    OF   THE    WORD    'MAMMAL.' 

Before  discussing  the  derivation  of  generic  names  it  may  not  be  out 
of  place  to  refer  briefly  to  the  etymology  of  the  word  '  mammal,''  whicn 
Dr.  Theo.  Gill''  has  recently  elaborated.  One  of  the  best  authori- 
ties, the  Century  Dictionary,  gives  the  following  explanation  of 
the  word: 

Mammal,  a.  and  n.  [  =  OF.  mammal  =Sp.  mamal  =  Pg.  mamal,  mammal  =  It. 
mammale,  n. ;  <NL.  mammale,  a  mammal,  neut.  of  LL.  mammalis,  of  the  breast, 
<L.  mamma,  the  breast]. 

This  derivation,  as  shown  by  Dr.  Gill,  is  misleading: 

The  name  mammalia  was  first  coined  and  used  by  Linnaeus  in  1758,  and  was 
formed  directly  from  the  Latin;  it  had  nothing  to  do  with  French,  Spanish,  Portu- 
guese or  Italian  words.  .  .  . 

It  was  one  of  the  happiest  inspirations  of  Linnaeus  to  segregate  all  the  mammiferous 
animals — the  hairy  quadrupeds,  the  sirenians,  and  the  cetaceans — in  a  single  class. 
No  one  before  had  appreciated  the  closeness  of  the  relations  of  the  several  types, 

"Exceptions  to  the  rule  are  Illiger,  Owen,  and  Waterhouse,  who  explained  the 
etymology  of  their  names.  Gaudry  gives  many  derivations  in  his  '  Enchainements 
du  Monde  Animal'.  Dr.  D.  S.  Jordan  explains  the  etymology  of  all  the  mammal 
names  which  occur  in  his  'Manual  of  Vertebrates',  and  the  late  Prof.  O.  C.  Marsh 
gave  derivations  in  the  lists  of  his  new  genera,  published  for  private  circulation,  and 
also  in  Scudder's  'Nomenclator  Zoologicus'.  The  application  of  many  names  will 
also  be  found  in  Beddard's  'Mammalia',  1902.

and  there  was  no  name  for  the  new  class  (or  concept)  as  there  was  for  all  the  others." 
A  name,  therefore,  had  to  be  devised.  It  was  another  happy  inspiration  that  led 
Linnaeus  to  name  the  class  mammalia.  .  .  . 

The  name  in  question  was  evidently  made  in  analogy  with  animalia.  In  animalia 
the  principal  component  was  anima,  the  'vital  principle'  or  animal  life.  .  .  .  The 
singular  of  the  word  was  animal.  In  mammalia,  the  essential  component  is  mamma, 
breast;  the  singular  should  be  mammal.  ...  In  fine,  a  mammal  is  a  being  espe- 
cially marked  by,  or  notable  for  having,  mamma?. 

Not  only  had  the  name  nothing  to  do  with  the  alleged  derivative  Latin  words,  it 
was  not  admitted  at  all  into  the  vernacular  speech  of  France,  Spain,  Portugal  or 
Italy.  The  naturalists  and  lexicographers  of  those  countries  failed  even  to  appre- 
ciate its  etymological  aptness  and  beauty.  First,  the  French  had  to  introduce  a  new 
word  to  correspond — mammiferes,  or  the  breast  bearers.  The  other  Latin  races  fol- 
lowed; the  Spanish  and  the  Portuguese  with  mamiferos,  and  the  Italians  with 
mammiferi.  None  of  the  words  quoted  in  the  Century  Dictionary  are  even  given 
as  nouns  in  the  ordinary  dictionaries  of  those  languages— not  even  in  the  great  dic- 
tionary of  Littre.  Littre,  however,  has  the  words  mammalogie,  mammalogique  and 
mammalogiste. 

Of  course  the  Germans  coined  a  word  from  their  vernacular— Siiugethiere,  or 
suckling  animals:  the  cognate  nations  imitated;  the  Dutch  with  Zoogdieren,  the 
Swedish  with  Daggdjuren,  and  the  Danes  and  Norwegians  with  Pattedyrene. 

The  first  writer  to  use  the  English  word  'mammals'  to  any  extent  was  Dr.  John 
Mason  Good.  In  'The  Book  of  Nature'  (1826),  in  the  second  lecture  of  the  second 
series,  'On  Zoological  Systems,'  he  specifically  introduces  it.  Quadrupeds  is  not 
appropriate  '  and  hence  it  has  been  correctly  and  elegantly  exchanged  by  Linnaeus 
for  that  of  Mammalia,'  and  he  concludes,  'as  we  have  no  fair  synonym  for  it  in  our 
own  tongue,  I  shall  beg  leave  now,  as  I  have  on  various  other  occasions,  to  render 
mammals.' 

The  earliest  English  author  to  use  the  singular  form  to  any  extent  was  Eichard 
Owen.  In  his  'History  of  British  Fossil  Mammals  and  Birds'  (1846),  for  example, 
he  alluded  to  a  mastodon  as  'this  rare  British  Fossil  Mammal'  (p.  xxii),  and  he 
asserted  that  he  knew  'of  no  other  extinct  genus  of  mammal  which  was  so  cosmo- 
politan as  the  mastodon'  (p.  xlii);  he  said  that  'the  Myrmeeobius  is  an  insectivorous 
mammal,  and  also  marsupial'  (p.  40),  and  he  claimed,  conditionally,  that  'the  Meles 
taxus  is  the  oldest  known  species  of  mammal  now  living  on  the  face  of  the  earth ' 
(p.  111). 

SOURCES  OF  NAMES. 

The  great  majority  of  generic  names  of  mammals  have  been  derived 
from  the  Greek,  a  few  from  the  Latin,  some  from  modern  languages, 
and  a  considerable  number  from  native  or  barbarous  names.  The 
proportion  may,  perhaps,  be  roughl}r  estimated  as  follows:  Greek,  70

CLASSICAL   NAMES. 

Apparently  every  name  of  an  animal  used  in  classical  Greek  has 
been  made  to  do  service  in  modern  nomenclature,  and  these  have  been 
modified  until  they  form  a  large  number  of  the  designations  in  common 
use.  The  following  list,  while  by  no  means  complete,  contains  about 
75  of  the  Greek  names  of  mammals  most  commonly  used: 

"The  assertion  of  Owen  that  Aristotle  fully  recognized  the  class  of  mammals 
under  the  name  Zootoca  is  without  proper  foundation.  Long  ago,  in  the  American 
Naturalist  (VII,  458),  I  showed  that  different  passages  in  Aristotle's  books  negatived 
such  a  statement,  and  that  the  word  zootoka  was  not  used  as  a  substantive.

«  Besides  these  names  a  few  Latin  words,  such  as  Arvicola,  Lemur,  Lotor,  Manis,

names,  although  they  were  not  originally  names  of  animals. 


A    LIST   OF   THE    GENERA    AND    FAMILIES    OF   MAMMALS.         45 

Words  taken  from  modern  languages  are  still  fewer  in  number. 
From  the  French  have  been  derived  such  names  as  JFeresa,  Genetta, 
Grampus,  Guepardus,  Muscardinus,  Noctula,  Palmista,  Phalanger 
(originally  from  the  Greek),  Rangifer,  Ratelus,  Rorqual,  Rousettus, 
Sagoinus,  Sarigua,  Tatusia,  Vampyrxis,  and  Verrusus;  from  the  Italian 
Folna,  Lontra,  Pipistrelhis,  and  ZibeUlna;  from  the  Spanish  Chin- 
chilla (based  on  the  native  name)  JVutria,  and  Zor/lla;  from  the  Portu- 
guese Encotibertus ;  from  the  German  Oricetus,  Desman,  Hamster, 
Vormela,  and  Zibet  ha;  from  the  Dutch  Poescopia;  from  the  Scandina- 
vian Alces,  Lemmus,  Narwhal  us,  and  Rosmarus;  and  from  the  Russian 
Beluga  and  Saiga. 

BARBAROUS    NAMES. 

The  recognition  of  generic  names  derived  from  barbarous  words  has 
given  rise  to  much  discussion.  Several  of  the  older  systematists 
refused  to  recognize  them,  and  regularly  substituted  new  ones  for 
those  which  they  considered  barbarous.  One  of  the  Linnaean  rules 
adopted  by  llliger  provides  that  generic  names  which  have  no  root  in 
the  Greek  or  Latin  languages  should  be  rejected,  and  under  it  are 
enumerated  30  genera  of  mammals  which  he  renamed,"  viz: 


Aguti. 

Fennecus. 

Lori. 

Potos. 

Aluata. 

Galago. 

Kangurus. 

Saguinus. 

Anarnacus. 

Gerbillus. 

Kinkajou. 

Tapirus. 

Coati. 

Giraffa. 

Narwalus. 

Tatu. 

Coendu. 

Hamster. 

Ondathra  [sic]. 

Tenrec. 

Coescoes. 

Indri. 

Pongo. 

Wombatus. 

Desman. 

Llacma. 

Potorous. 

Yerbua. 

Dugong. 

Lemmus. 

Several  later  authors  followed  the  same  course,  and  Gloger  in  the 
preface  of  his  'Hand-  und  Hilfsbuch  der  Naturgeschichte,'  p.  vi,  1842, 

says: 

Not  a  little  trouble  bas  been  caused  by  the  formation  of  new  scientific  names  hereby 
rendered  necessary,  and  by  substituting  for  the  older  and  grammatically  incorrect 
terms  the  correct  ones  which  in  such  cases  precede  the  former.  The  very  objection- 
able barbarisms  daily  increasing  in  the  language,  with  which  many  English  and 
more  French  naturalists  corrupt  zoological  nomenclature,  has  made  such  a  course  of 
procedure  necessary,  particularly  in  a  book  designed  for  the  classically  educated 
youth  of  our  higher  institutions  of  learning. 

On  the  other  hand,  some  authors  not  only  frequently  employed 
barbarous  names,  but  also  advocated  their  use.  Lacepede  apparently 
never  missed  an  opportunity  to  use  them,  while  Lesson  and  Gray  are 
responsible  for  the  introduction  of  many  native  names.  Liais  even 
went  so  far  as  to  suggest  the  substitution  of  native  names  for  those 
of  classical  derivation  under  the  plea  that — 

It  would  be  incontestably  in  the  interest  of  science  to  preserve  names  from  those 
languages  of  South  America  which  were  spoken  over  a  large  extent  [of  country] 


«■  Prodromus  Systematis  Mammalium  et  Avium,  p.  xvii,  1811.

INDEX  GENERUM  MAMMALIUM. 


rather  than  to  make  new  Latin  names.  If  the  Romans  had  known  America,  is  it 
certain  that  the  names  made  from  their  language  would  have  been  adopted  by  mod- 
ern writers  instead  of  those  of  the  country  (i.  e.,  native  names),  especially  when  the 
endings  were  in  accord  with  the  rules  of  their  language?  At  least  the  chances  would 
have  been  in  favor  of  the  adoption  of  the  latter,  and  in  choosing  them,  there  would 
be  the  double  advantage  of  being  logical  and  of  not  making  '  neologisms. '  (Climat  du 
Bresil,  p.  329,  1872. ) 

The  objection  to  barbarous  names  has  diminished  of  late,  and  many  of 
those  rejected  by  Illiger  and  others  are  now  coming  into  general  use 
for  groups  for  which  no  earlier  classical  derivatives  are  available. 
Some  of  these  words  have  been  adopted  practically  without  change, 
as  for  example: 


Agouti. 

Coendou. 

Mara. 

Serval. 

Adjidaumo. 

Galago.

Others  have 

been  modified  to 

give  them  Latin 

endings,  as— 

Baginia. 

Conepatus. 

Mangusta. 

Salanoia. 

Bandicota. 

Fennecus. 

Mazama.

'nonsense  names.' 

Finally,  reference  should  be  made  to  names  which  have  been  '  coined' 
and  which  have  no  true  derivation.  These  are  merely  arbitrary 
groups  of  letters  sometimes  known  as  'nonsense  names.'  They  have 
been  proposed  by  authors  who,  like  Ameghino,  Gray,  and  Lataste,  in 
making  maii3T  names  have  found  the  usual  sources  insufficient  or 
unsatisfactory.  These  names  may  be  divided  into  two  groups:  (a) 
Coined  or  nonsense  names,  like  Asema,  Blarina,  Degonia,  Kogia,  and 
Tatera,  and  (b)  anagrams,6  such  as — 


Caliphrium  from  Licaphrium. 
Cephanodus  from  Phenacodus. 
Chiroscaptor  from  Scaptochirus. 
Chochilius  from  Icochilus. 
Colus  from  Suloc. 
Corsira  from  Corsair  (?) . 
Cutia  from  Acuti. 
Decastis  from  Acdestis. 


Diocartherium  from  Cardiotherium. 
Eirara  from  Eraria. 
Genysccelus  from  Ccelogenys. 
Glisorex  from  Sorexglis. 
Ideodelphys  from  Eodidelphys. 
Lymodon  from  Mylodon. 
MachlydotheriumfromChlamydotherium. 
Magestus  from  Megastus. 


a  The  apparently  barbarous  form  of  words  ending  in  u  disappears  if  they  are  treated 
as  Latin  neuter  nouns  of  the  fourth  declension,  like  cornu,  genu,  etc.

KINDS   OF   NAMES. 


MYTHOLOGICAL    NAMES. 


A  considerable  number  of  generic  names  are  taken  from  mythology, 
both  classical  and  Hindu,  such  as: 


Acdestis. 

Daunus. 

Inuus. 

Pontoporia. 

iEgipan. 

Diana. 

Lamictis. 

Prometheomys.

These  are  open  to  the  objection  that  they  are  likely  to  have  been  used 
in  other  groups/'  thus  necessitating  change  and  consequent  multiplica- 
tion of  synon3^ms. 

GEOGRAPHICAL    NAMES. 

Geographical  names  have  been  used  mainly  in  paleontology.  In 
spite  of  the  fact  that  they  are  mainly  hybrid  words,  they  have  the 
advantage  of  convenience,  as  they  are  usually  based  on  the  type  local- 
ity of  one  of  the  species.     Such  are: 


Aethiops. 

Andinomys. 

Annamisus. 

Argyrocetns. b 

Argyrodelphis. 

Argyrohippus. 

Argyrohyrax. 

Argyrolestes.

a  Unless  compounded  with  a  name  of  a  mammal,  as  for  example  Prometheomys. 
b  Argyrocetus,  meaning  La  Plata  whale,  dpyvpos,  silver,  being  used  as  the  equivalent 
of  the  Spanish  La  Plata,  silver.

PERSONAL   NAMES. 


Proper  names  have  been  utilized  less,  perhaps,  for  mammals  than  for 
some  other  groups,  the  total  number,  as  shown  in  the  following  list, 
being  about  80.  Prior  to  1850  only  11  such  names  had  been  proposed, 
but  between  1864  and  1866  Gray  added  11  more,  and  in  the  last  four 
years  (1899-1903)  Ameghino  has  added  27.  Of  the  total  number,  Gray 
has  proposed  13  and  Ameghino  33.  Not  only  have  eminent  naturalists 
been  honored  in  this  way,  but  governors,  diplomats,  officers  of  the 
army  and  navy,  and  collectors  have  also  been  remembered.

52  INDEX  GENERUM  MAMMALIUM. 


COMPOT"\I>S. 


A  large  proportion  of  modern  generic  names  are  compound  words. 
Latin  offers  comparatively  little  opportunity  for  making  compounds, 
and  the  number  of  such  words  is  relatively  small,  although  modifica- 
tions by  prefixes  and  suffixes  are  common.  The  Greek  language  lends 
itself  almost  as  readily  as  the  German  to  this  kind  of  word  making, 
and  nouns  are  coupled  together  or  modified  by  adjectives  and  preposi- 
tions in  almost  endless  variety."  Formerly  compounds  seem  to  have 
been  in  disfavor,  for  Illiger,  in  1811,  following  Linnaeus,  rejected  them, 
and  quotes  three  Linneean  rules  as  authority  for  so  doing: 

225.  N[omina]  g[enerica]  cui  syllaba  una  vel  altera  praeponitur  (aut  aufertur)  ut 
aliud  genus,  quam  antea,  significet,  excludendum  est.     Perameles.     Promerops. 

227.  N.  g.  ex  aliis  nominibus  genericis  cum  syllaba  (madam  in  fine  addita,  conflata, 
non  placent.     Balsenoptera,  Ddphinapterus. 

226.  X.  g.  in  oides  desinentia,  e  foro  (zoologico)  releganda  sunt.  Pelecanoides. 
Picoides.     Talpoides.     (Prod.  Syst.  Mamm.  et  Avium,  p.  xvii.) 

It  is  difficult  to  understand  this  position,  since  compounds  have  the 
sanction  of  classical  writers.  Among  numerous  classical  compound 
words  which  have  been  used  as  generic  names  of  mammals  may  be 
mentioned  Acanthonotus,  Agricola,  Camelopardalis,  Cataphractus, 
Cynalopex,  Hippopotamus,  ffippotigris,  Hydropotes,  Nyctereutes,  and 
Rhinoceros.  At  the  present  time  compounds  are  considered  not  only 
unobjectionable,  but  highly  desirable,  for  without  them  it  would  be 
almost  impossible  to  coin  designations  for  the  ever-increasing  multi- 
tude of  genera  and  species  without  resorting  to  anagrams  and  arbi- 
trary combinations  of  letters.  They  may  have  the  advantage  of 
indicating  the  relationship  of  a  genus,  and,  what  is  even  more  impor- 
tant, of  insuring  it  from  being  preoccupied  in  other  groups.  For 
example,  compounds  of  Mus  are  usually  restricted  to  rodents,  and  are 
not  likely  to  be  used  in  any  class  except  mammals;  the  prefix  eu  is 
constantly  used  to  distinguish  the  typical  genus  or  subgenus  from 
groups  which  are  aberrant,  in  contradistinction  to  such  prefixes  as 
kemi-  and  para-  or  the  suffix  &ides,  which  merely  indicate  resemblance; 
and  the  intensive  za  is  used  to  call  attention  to  some  prominent  or 
striking  character. 

Nowhere  have  compounds  been  more  constantly  and  more  effectually 
employed  than  in  paleontology.  Indeed,  we  have  here  a  certain 
approximation  toward  the  standard  which  Coues  has  pictured  as  the 
ideal  name  when  he  says — 

«A  few  genera  have  been  made  by  combining  words  of  Greek  and  Latin  derivation, 
thus  forming  so-called  'hybrid  names,'  which  are  very  generally  (and  very  properly) 
looked  upon  with  disfavor.  Such  are:  Interodon,  Interatherium,  Laniodon,  Nesciothe- 
rium;  some  taken  from  proper  names,  like  Blainvillimys,  Cuviermys,  etc.,  and  many 
of  the  geographical  names.  Such  compounds,  in  the  words  of  a  recent  writer,  "are 
enough  to  make  one's  hair  stand  on  end." 


A    LIST    OF    THE    GENERA    AND    FAMILIES    OF    MAMMALS.         53 

Systematic  zoology,  or  the  practice  of  classification,  has  failed  to  keep  pace  with 
the  principles  of  the  science;  we  are  greatly  in  need  of  some  new  and  sharper  '  tools 
of  thought,'  which  shall  do  for  zoology  what  the  system  of  symbols  and  formulae 
have  done  for  chemistry.  We  ward  some  symbolic  formulation  of  our  knowledge.  The 
invention  of  a  practical  scheme  of  classification  and  nomenclature,  which  should 
enable  us  to  formulate  what  we  mean  by  Tardus  migratorius  as  a  chemist  symbolizes 
by  S04H2  what  he  understands  hydrated  sulphuric  acid  to  be,  would  be  an  inesti- 
mable boon  to  working  naturalists.      (Key  X.  Am.  Birds,  2d  ed.,  78,  1884.) 

To  a  certain  extent  this  is  done  in  some  paleontological  names. 

Thus  words  compounded  with  -therium,  or  with  the  prefixes  amphi-, 
eo-,  epi-^  limno-,  meso-,  unfit-,  mio-^plesio-^plio-,  said,  jyroto-,  are  almost 
always  used  for  extinct  genera"  and  should  be  reserved  exclusively 
for  them.  Prefixes  may  be  briefly  and  conveniently  used  to  express 
relationship.  Amphieyon,  Epicyon,  and  /*,  udocyon,  all  indicate  groups 
more  or  less  closely  related  to  the  dogs;  Cimolestes,  a  marsupial  from 
the  Cretaceous;  EoKippus^  Miohippus,  and  Pliohippus  were  proposed 
for  horses  which  existed  in  the  Eocene,  Miocene,  or  Pliocene;  Proto- 
dichobune  for  a  type  of  artiodactyl  which  preceded,  and  Metadichobune 
for  one  which  followed,  Dichobune. 

Pliohippus  means  an  animal  from  the  Pliocene  related  to  the  modern 
horse;  Miosiren,  an  animal  from  the  Miocene  related  to  modern  sire- 
nians;  and  IAmnofelis,  an  animal  found  in  an  old  morass  and  related 
to  living  cats,  etc.  Here  the  names  give  (a)  the  designation  of  the 
genus,  (b)  its  geological  position,  and  (e)  its  relationship;  while  their 
form  indicates  (d)  that  the  genera  are  extinct. 

In  order  to  illustrate  the  great  variety  of  compounds  which  can  be 
made  from  one  word,  and  at  the  same  time  to  furnish  a  ready  refer- 
ence list  which  may  be  useful  in  coining  new  names,  it  has  been  deemed 
desirable  to  give  the  compounds  of  six  of  the  words  most  frequently 
used  in  making  generic  names  of  mammals.  These  words  are:  yockij, 
weasel;  i'ktlz,  weasel;  /.a}pv£,  ruminant;  /*£?,  mouse;  WKrepiz,  bat; 
otfofs,  tooth.  As  will  be  seen  by  reference  to  the  lists,  the  com- 
pounds of  these  words  vary  from  39  in  the  case  of  /.i/'/pvg,  to  350  in  the 
case  of  ptvs,  and  to  more  than  450  in  that  of  odovs.  In  other  words, 
about  8  percent  of  all  the  generic  names  of  mammals  are  compounds 
of  pvs  and  more  than  10  percent  of  the  entire  number  are  compounds 
of  oSovg. 

"There  are  a  few  exceptions,  such  as  Amphiaulacomys,  Amphisorex,  Ceratolherium, 

Dorcalherium  (originally  applied  to  an  extinct  group  since  found  to  have  living 
representatives),  Eonycteris,  Eosciurus,  Eothenomys,  Eoxerus,  Eozapus,  Epimys,  Epio- 
don,  Limnogale,  Limnolagus,  Mesobema,  Mesocricetus,  Mesomys,  Mesoplodon,  Metachirus, 
Miopithecus,  Protoxerus,  but  the  rule  holds  good  in  nine  cases  out  of  ten.  The  dis- 
crepancy in  the  case  of  eo  is  due  to  its  double  signification  of  'eastern'  when  used 
for  recent  genera,  and  '  dawn  '  for  extinct  groups.  Full  lists  of  the  genera  with 
these  10  prefixes,  aggregating  about  180  names,  will  be  found  in  the  body  of  the 
'  Index.'

DOUBLE    OEXERIC    NAMES. 


A  special  class  of  compounds,  which  may  be  described  as  '  double 
generic  names,''  has  been  largely  used  in  the  case  of  mammals.  Nearly 
200  such  names  have  been  proposed,  chiefly  to  denote  resemblance  or 
close  relationship,  and,  when  well  chosen,  serve  the  purpose  admirably. 
They  have  the  advantage  of  being-  self-explanatory,  and  are  not  apt  to 
be  preoccupied.  They  are  ordinarily  formed  by  combining  two  generic 
names  into  one,  as  Adwpisorex  and  Cervalces,  although  some  of  them 
may  be  simply  classical  compounds  of  two  names  of  animals,  as  ( 1amd- 
qpardalis  and  Cynalopex.  In  either  case  the  result  is  the  same. 
Compounds  of  cyno  {kvgov),  (/ale,  and  rnyo  (pivs)  are  most  frequent,  as 
will  be  seen  by  reference  to  the  following  list:

APPLICATION  OF  NAMES. 

Etymolog}7  in  the  widest  sense  of  the  term  properly  includes  the 
application  of  names,  but  the  latter  subject  is  so  broad  as  to  merit 
special  consideration.  Although  many  generic  names  have  been  ap- 
plied in  such  haphazard  fashion  or  based  on  such  apparently  trivial 
or  obscure  characters  that  it  is  almost  hopeless  to  attempt  to  explain 
their  application  unless  the  original  author  has  furnished  the  key,  still 
many  others  have  been  based  on  important  characters  or  coined  with 
a  view  of  expressing  relationships,  indicating  facts  of  distribution,  or 
throwing  light  on  their  history,  thus  offering  an  interesting  field  for 
investigation.  No  attempt  has  been  made  to  explain  all  obscure 
names,  particularly  those  of  extinct  groups,  but  the  object  has  been 
chiefly  to  show  the  application  of  the  more  important  ones,  especially 
in  the  case  of  North  American  mammals.  The  explanations  given  in 
the  'Century  Dictionary,'  the  various  recent  works  on  mammals,  and 
similar  books  of  reference  have  been  collected,  and  free  use  has  been 
made  of  all  sources  of  information  which  would  throw  light  on  the 
subject. 

Apparently  every  conceivable  character,  external  and  internal,  posi- 
tive and  negative,  has  been  called  into  play  in  making  generic  names, 
and  minute  or  imaginary  resemblances  have  been  utilized  to  such  an 
extent  that  it  is  sometimes  impossible  to  see  the  connection  between 
the  name  and  the  animal  even  when  the  derivation  is  known.  But  the 
attempt  to  ascertain  whether  a  certain  term  has  originated  in  fact  or 
fiction,  or  whether  its  application  has  been  suggested  merely  by  the 
fancy  of  the  author,  is  at  least  interesting,  and  often  successful.  In 
classifying  names,  beginning  with  those  which  have  an  obvious  appli- 
cation and  passing  to  those  which  have  none,  at  least  ten  subdivisions 


A    LIST    OF    THE    GENEKA    AND    FAMILIES    OF   MAMMALS.        61 

may  be  made:  (1)  classical  names  and  their  compounds;  (2)  native 
names;  (3)  geographical  names;  (4)  personal  names;  (5)  names  indica- 
tive of  age;  (0)  names  indicating  size,  form,  color,  and  resemblance; 
(7)  names  indicating  habit  and  habitat;  (8)  names  based  on  special 
characters;  (9)  names  of  fanciful  or  poetic  application;  (10)  names 
founded  on  error  or  without  application.  These  numerous  subdivi- 
sions may  be  arranged  under  two  main  headings:  (1)  names  of  obvious 
application,  comprising  the  first  seven  groups,  and  (2)  names  of 
obscure  application,  comprising  the  last  three  groups. 

NAMES   OF    OBVIOUS   APPLICATION. 

(1)  Classical  mums. — Words  of  classical  derivation  taken  from 
names  of  animals  (see  p.  44),  like  Gebus^  Gale,  Mus,  and  Pithecus  and 
compounded  with  such  prefixes  as  eu  (typical),  am  phi  (on  both  sides), 
para  (near),pseudo  (false),  za  (intensive  prefix),  etc.,  need  no  special 
explanation.  Similarly,  words  like  Alticola  (high  dweller),  Terr/cola 
(ground  dweller),  Hydropotes  (water  drinker),  etc.,  suggest  their  own 
application.  But  in  some  cases  old  names  of  animals  have  been  trans- 
ferred to  groups  entirely  different  from  those  to  which  they  originally 
belonged/'  Thus  Da&ypus  is  now  applied  to  the  armadillos,  which  do 
not  occur  in  the  Old  World,  and  Cebus  (from  /c^/iog-,  which  meant  any 
long-tailed  monke}-),  is  now  restricted  to  neotropical  monkeys,  which 
were  entirely  unknown  to  the  Greeks.  The  connection  between  this 
name  and  its  apparent  compounds  Arctocebics,  Habrocebus,  Mici'OGebus, 
and  Nycticebus,  all  applied  to  Old  World  lemurs,  is  not  clear,  except  on 
the  theoiy  that  the  latter  are  not  compounds  of  the  modern  generic 
name,  but  of  the  original  Ktj/jog.  Similarly,  most  of  the  compounds 
of  7ri0rjKOs,  ape,  are  applied  to  Old  World  groups,  while  the  root  word 
in  the  form  Pithecia  is  transferred  to  a  South  American  monkey. 

(2)  Native  mums. — Native  names  like  Bandicota  (pig  rat)  and  Keri- 
voula  (plantain  bat)  constitute  one  of  the  most  interesting  groups  (pro- 
viding their  derivation  can  be  ascertained),  and  thejr  are  usually  based 
on  such  prominent  characters  that  little  explanation  is  required. 

(3)  Geographical  mimes. — Geographical  names  (see  p.  47)  are  in  most 
cases  self-explanatory  merely  from  the  derivation,  but,  as  already  men- 
tioned, they  are  usually  hybrid  words  and  are  sometimes  compounds 
of  little  used  names  of  localities,  so  that  their  application  is  not  evident 
at  first  sight.  Typical  examples  are  Ruscinomys  from  Ruscino,  the 
Roman  name  of  the  modern  town  of  Perpignan  in  France;  Kasi,  a 
subgenus  of  monkeys  from  India,  named  from  Kasi,  the  ancient  desig- 
nation of  Benares,  and  Argyrocettcs,  "silver  whale'  of  Argentina,  used 
in  the  sense  of  La  Plata  (silver)  whale. 

(4)  Personal  mimes. — Personal  names  (see  pp.  48-51)  fall  into  two 

«See  Gill  (Proc.  Ass.  Adv.  Sci.,  XLV,  sep.  p.  11,  1896)  for  examples  of  such 
names  in  other  classes  of  vertebrates. 


62  INDEX    GENERUM    MAMMALIUM. 

categories — those  derived  from  the  name  of  the  collector  of  the  species 
on  which  the  genus  was  based,  like  Bruijnia,  <  'arloameghinia,  and  Nel- 
sonza,  and  those  named  in  compliment  to  some  distinguished  person,  as 
Garzonia,  for  Don  Eleazar  Garzon,  governor  of  the  province  of  Cor- 
doba, Argentina;  Oapaccinius,  for  Monsignor  Francesco  Capaccini, 
under  secretary  of  state  of  Rome,  and  Romerolagus,  for  Don  Matias 
Romero,  formerly  Mexican  minister  to  the  United  States.  In  the  first 
group  the  application  is  obvious,  provided  the  person  is  stated  as  the 
collector;  in  the  second  group,  however,  the  application  is  by  no 
means  evident,  and  without  explanation  is  often  very  obscure. 

(5)  Geological  names. — Names  indicative  of  age,  or  'geological 
names,'  are  frequently  employed  in  paleontology  to  show  the  age  of 
the  deposits  in  which  the  animals  were  found.  The  most  frequent  are 
compounds  of  <<>-,  ////>>-.  and  plio-/  thus  Eopitheem,  Miopithecus,  and 
Pliqpithecus  represent  apes  from  the  Eocene,  Miocene,  and  Pliocene. 
Similarly  a  few  compounds  have  been  made  from  cimo-  and  caeno-; 
thus  Cimolesies,  Oimolodon,  and  Cimolomys  indicate  mammals  from 
the  Cretaceous  (chalk);  and  Caenobasileus,  Caenopit/iecus,  and  Csenothe- 
rium,  mammals  from  recent  or  Quaternary  beds."  The  prefixes  hyper- 
(above),  infra-  (below),  proto-  (first),  pro-  (before),  meso-  (middle),  and 
post-  (after),  are  also  employed  to  represent  relative  age,  as  Hyper- 
triKjuliis,  Infrapitheeus,  Protohippus,  Pro/inles,  3feso/upj>i/.s,  and 
Postpitkecics.  Occasionally  names  have  been  suggested  by  the  char- 
acter of  the  beds  in  which  the  fossils  wore  discovered;  thus  Anthraco- 
therium  is  a  genus  from  the  anthracite  or  lignite  beds  of  Tuscairy, 
Argillotherium  one  from  the  London  clay.  Chalicotherium  one  from 
the  gravel  beds  of  Eppelsheim,  and  Sid<  rotherium  one  from  the  iron 
ore  deposits  near  Mosskirch,  Baden. 

(6)  Descriptwt  names. — Names  indicative  of  size,  form,  color,  and 
resemblance  may  be  found  in  almost  endless  variety,  and  usually  present 
few  difficulties.  Size  is  indicated  in  all  gradations  from  the  huge  J\L  ga- 
therium  to  the  pygmy  JVannosciurus,  but  though  the  meaning  of  sucn 
names  may  be  obvious,  yet  they  convey  no  idea  of  absolute  size  to  show 
that  their  selection  is  especially  appropriate.  Thus  while  Megamys 
plainly  refers  to  a  large  rodent,  it  does  not  show  that  the  mammal  thus 
named  was  supposed  to  have  been  as  large  as  an  ox;  and  while  Mic?*o- 
cebus  is  a  small  lemur,  the  fact  that  some  species  of  the  genus  are  only 
5  inches  in  length  (exclusive  of  the  tail)  is  not  shown.  Similarly 
'small  shrew'  does  not  suggest  the  fact  that  Microsorex  is  in  reality 
one  of  the  smallest  mammals,  with  a  total  length  of  only  3£  inches. 
Form  is  expressed  in  all  gradations  from  fat  {Steatomys)  to  thin 
(Stenobalaend);  from  thick  {Pachysomd)  to  slender  {Leptomys)\  from 
short  {Brachytheriwni)  to  long  (Dolichotheriufn).  Color  and  markings 
play  a  comparatively  unimportant  part  in  the  formation  of  generic 
names,  but  are  used  as  a  basis  in  a  few  cases.     References  to  color  in 


a Csenolestes,  however,  hay  been  applied  to  a  living  mammal.

general  are  found  in  Oelsenomys,  Chrotomys,  and  Chrotopterusj  to  red 
in  Erythrocebus,  Erythrosciurus,  and  Rousettus;  to  white  in  Beluga, 
Leuoas,  Leucocyon,  Leueomitra,  Leucopleura,  and  Leucorharwplms;  to 
greenish  yellow  in  Chloromys;  and  to  yellow  in  Chryseus,  Ghrysochloris, 
Ohrysocyon,  Chrysomys,  Chrysonycteris,  Chrysospalax,  Chrysothrix, 
Icterus,  and  XantJiarpyia.  References  to  markings  may  be  either  to 
spots  (Ralionycteris,  RJmwstictus,  SpUogale),  to  stripes  (Lemniscomys, 
Strigocuscus),  to  bands  (Histriophoca,  Ta&niogale),  or  to  a  combination 
of  colors  (parti-colored)  or  markings  (Poecilogale,  Pascilomys,  Pcecilo- 
phoca).  General  resemblance  is  indicated  by  compounds  of  aides,  ops, 
and  opsis  (Petauroides,  Dipodops,  and  Ch&ropsis),  and  by  many  double 
names  of  mammals,  such  as  Antilocapra,  Orihox,  and  Taurotmgus. 

(7)  Miscdlcmeous  names. — Habits  and  habitat  form  the  basis  of  a 
great  variety  of  names.  Nearly  every  manner  of  progression  is 
referred  to  directly  or  indirectly  in  the  following  examples:  Creeping 
(Herpestes,  Herpetomys),  walking  (Ocnobates),  digging  (Tachyoryctes), 
groping  about  (Pselaphon),  running  (Dromedarius  and  Dromdda),  fly- 
ing (Pteromys),  and  swimming  (JVectomys);  living  in  the  water  (Hydro- 
nnjs),  on  land  (Terricola),  and  underground  (Hypogeomys).  Habits  and 
characteristics  of  various  kinds  are  illustrated  by  Ghiropotes  (hand 
drinker),  Hydrqpotes  (water  drinker),  Nyctereutes  (night  hunter),  and 
Oxygons  (shrill  wailing).  Disagreeable  odors  are  suggested  by  such 
names  as  JBdeogale,  Afqphitis,  Ozolictis,  Osmotherwm,  and  Putorius. 
Character  of  habitat  is  often  indicated  by  a  prefix  or  suffix.  Thus  we 
have  names  of  animals  of  the  water"  (Hydrochoerus,  Hydrodq/malis), 
sea  (Halicore,  Thalarctos),  rivers  (Hippopotamus,  PotamocAcerus), 
islands  (JVesonycteris,  JVesotragus),  swamps  (Helogale,  Limnogale), 
rushes  (Thryonomys),  fields  (Arvicola),  gardens  (Leirnacomys),  trees 
(Dendrolagus,  Dry  oryx),  forests  (Hylomys,  Ilylobates),  plains  (Pedio- 
tragus),  pampas  (Pampatherium),  deserts  {Xerospermophilus),  sand 
(Ammospermqph it us),  rocks  (Pefroga/e,  Riqncapra),  caves  (Antrosotcs), 
heights  (Ilyperacriits),  mountains  (Oreotragus  and  Cheamnos),  of  snow 
and  ice  (Chionobates,  PagopJrilus),  and  torrid  heat  (Helaretos,  IIe!i<>- 
phoca).  Finally,  character  of  the  food  is  sometimes  expressed  in  the 
name,  as  when  the  animal  feeds  on  seeds  {Spermophifus),  grain  (Sito- 
mys),  rice  (Oryzomys,  Oryzoryctes),  bark (Phlceo?nys),  roots  (Rhizomys), 
grass  (Poebrotherium,  Poephagomys,  PoepAagus),  fruit  (Carpom/ys, 
Carponycteris,  Syconycteris,  Trygenycteris),  honey  (Mellwora,  Melur- 
sus),  ants  (Myrmecobius,  Myrmecophaga),  fish  (Ichthyomys),  or  flesh 
(SarcopAH/us  and  Sarcothraustes). 

NAMES   OF   OBSCURE    APPLICATION. 

(8)  Names  indicating  relationship. — Many  names  denoting  relation- 
ship or  based  on  general  characters  or  habits  require  further  explanation 
than  mere  derivation  to  render  them  intelligible.  Thus,  Mesomys 
(middle    mouse)  and  Synaptomys  (connecting   mouse)  are  evidently 


64  INDEX  GENERUM  MAMMALIUM. 

intermediate  forms,  but  the  names  alone  do  not  show  that  Mesomys 
is  related  both  to  the  jumping  rats  and  Mus,  or  that  Synaptomys  is 
a  connectant  form  between  the  lemmings  and  field  mice.  Aschizo- 
mys  (not  splitting — in  the  sense  of  connecting  mouse),  which,  in  a 
somewhat  different  way.  expresses  the  same  idea  of  connection,  does 
not  show  that  it  is  based  on  a  combination  of  the  characters  of 
Microtus  and  Evotomys.a  Likewise,  Orthriomys  (early  mouse)  and 
Phenacomys  (deceptive  mouse)  are  not  self-explanatory.  Orthriomys 
was  so  called  from  the  fact  that  it  suggests  an  ancient  type  inter- 
mediate between  Phenacomys  and  the  Microtine  Pedomys  and  Arm- 
cola;  Phenacomys  derives  its  name  from  the  fact  that  externally  it 
is  almost  indistinguishable  from  Microtus.  Hodomys  (road  mouse), 
refers  to  the  animal's  habit  of  making  trails,  and  not,  as  might  be  sup- 
posed, to  its  living  along  highways.  Monachus  (monk)  is  applied  to 
the  tropical  seal,  probably  because  of  its  more  or  less  solitary  habits, 
and  Semnopithecus  (sacred  monkey)  to  a  group  of  monkeys  of  India, 
because  the  type  species  is  considered  sacred  by  the  Hindus.  Less 
clear  are  such  terms  as  Cryptomys  (hidden  mouse),  Dinomys  (terrible 
mouse),  and  Xenomys  (strange  mouse),  which  merely  suggest  the 
peculiarities  of  the  groups  to  which  they  belong  without  explaining 
them.  Pectinator  (comber)  and  Tamias  (steward)  convey  little  idea  of 
their  appropriateness  unless  it  is  known  that  Pectinator,  like  Gteno- 
dactyhis,  has  bristles  on  the  hind  feet  which  are  supposed  to  be  used 
in  dressing  the  fur,  and  that  Tamias,  the  well-known  genus  of  ground 
squirrels,  has  a  habit  of  laying  up  stores  of  food. 

Generic  names  based  on  special  characters  are  very  numerous. 
They  may  refer  to  external  characters,  such  as  the  skin,  hair,  head, 
nose,  eyes,  ears,  tail,  wings,  or  feet;  to  special  characters  of  the  teeth, 
skull,  vertebrae,  ribs,  or  limb  bones;  or  to  the  soft  anatomy.  Those 
which  owe  their  origin  to  characters  of  the  teeth  and  skull  are  very 
common,  while  those  based  on  the  soft  anatomy  are  comparatively 
rare.  Not  only  do  special  parts  of  mammals  suggest  names,  but  a 
wide  range  of  qualities  of  each  part  is  represented  in  nomenclature. 
Thus,  characteristics  of  the  skin  that  give  rise  to  names  range  from 
narrow  (Stmotherium)  to  broad  {Megadei'ma),  probably  in  allusion  to 
the  size  of  the  flying  membranes;  those  of  the  hair  from  soft  (Ab- 
rothrix)  and  woolly  {Lagothrix — rabbit  hair)  to  spiny  (Echiothrioc)  and 
scaly  {Lepitherium)\  those  of  the  nose  from  allusions  to  a  long  nose 
(Nasalis  and  Oxymyctencs)  to  noseless  (Arhinolemur)]  those  of  the  ears 
and  tail  from  earless  (Aotus)  and  tailless  (Anoura)  to  large  eared 
(Macrotis)  and  feather-tailed  \Pteronura)\  those  of  limbs  from  short 
(Brachytarsomys)  to  long  {Megaptera,  Macropus).

as  exemplified  by  the  following  names:  Amphicetus,  Apatemys,  Aschizomys,  Dolomi/*,

and  skulls  require  no  special  explanation  and  should  perhaps  not  be 
classed  with  names  of  obscure  application.  On  the  other  hand,  many 
of  the  terms  derived  from  special  characters,  both  external  and 
internal,  are  exceedingly  obscure.  Among  others  may  be  mentioned 
Heterodon  (different  tooth),  in  allusion  to  the  inequality  in  size  and 
form  of  the  teeth;  Megantereon  (great  chin),  which  refers  to  the  size  of 
the  lower  jaw  and  not  to  that  of  the  animal;"  Omniatophoca  (eyed  seal), 
which  refers  to  the  immense  orbits;  Ommatostergus  (a  worker  bereft 
of  eyes),  which  antithetically  refers  to  the  apparent  absence  of  eyes; 
Synotus,  based  on  the  union  of  the  inner  margins  of  the  ears  on  the 
forehead;  and  Tomqpeas  (stump  awl),  so  called  from  the  short,  blunt 
tragus.  Names  based  on  cranial  or  skeletal  characters,  and  many  of 
those  based  on  teeth,  are  of  uncertain  application  unless  explained. 
Such  are  Capered  (capero,  to  wrinkle),  from  the  rugulose  character  of 
the  ear  bones;  and  Megaru  won  (large  nerve),  from  the  large  size  of 
the  neural  passage  in  the  atlas.  Deltatherium,  Lambdatherium,  and 
Sigmodon  are  suggested  by  the  enamel  patterns  of  the  molar  teeth, 
which  resemble  the  Greek  letters  A,  A,  2,  respectively;  Syciwn  refers 
to  the  bony  walls  of  the  pulp  cavity,  which  close  the  lateral  grooves 
but  do  not  close  the  pulp  cavity  below;  Nesodon  (island  tooth)  takes 
its  name  from  an  island  of  enamel  on  the  inner  side  of  a  molar; 
Ochetodon  and  R&ithrodon  (grooved  tooth)  refer  to  grooves  on  the 
upper  incisors;  Plagiavlax  (oblique  groove)  refers  to  grooves  on  the 
lower  premolars;  while  Plagiodontia  (oblique  tooth)  refers  to  grooves 
on  the  molars. 

Perhaps  the  most  puzzling  names  are  those  of  an  indefinite  charac- 
ter. Such  are  Proteles  (complete  in  front),  in  reference  to  the  full  num- 
ber of  five  toes  on  the  fore  feet  in  contrast  to  four  on  the  hind  feet, 
and  names  suggesting  characters  which  are  rudimentary  or  absent, 
as  At'eles  (incomplete)  and  Colobns  (maimed),  both  referring  to  the 
rudimentary  character  of  the  thumb;  Perodicticus,  referring  to  the 
rudimentary  index  finger;  Cholosptts  (lame  footed),  indicating  a  reduced 
number  of  toes,  and  Olbodotes  (giver  of  bliss)  on  account  of  the  light 
which  it  throws  on  the  development  of  the  large  incisors  in  the  primi- 
tive rodents. 

(9)  Fanciful  names. — Names  of  fanciful  or  poetic  signification  com- 
prise mythological  designations  and  a  few  other  names.  In  many 
instances  their  application  is  exceedingly  obscure,  and  although  usually 
it  is  not  difficult  to  ascertain  the  personage  from  whom  the  name  is 
derived,  the  explanation  of  its  application,  unless  given  by  the  original 
describer,  may  easily  be  erroneous.  Mythological  names  are  objection- 
able, not  only  because  they  have  been  used  so  frequently  in  other  classes 
that  they  are  likely  to  be  preoccupied,  but  also  because  of  this  ambiguity 
in  application.     The  explanations  given  in  the  list  will  be  found  unsat- 

«At  first  sight  the  name  seems  to  be  a  misprint  or  modification  of  Megatherium 
(great  beast).

66  INDEX  GENERUM  MAMMALIUM. 

isfactory  in  many  cases,  but  the  difficulty  in  working  them  out  may  be 
illustrated  by  a  few  examples.  The  genus  of  monkeys  called  Diana 
is  apparently  so  named  from  the  white  marking  or  line  over  the  fore- 
head of  the  type  species,  which  bears  a  fancied  resemblance  to  the  silver 
bow  of  the  goddess  Diana.  Idomineus,  the  name  of  a  king  of  Crete, 
does  not  seem  applicable  to  a  genus  of  gerbilles,  unless  it  is  remembered 
that  Idomineus  and  Meriones  were  companions  in  arms  in  the  Trojan 
war,  and  Meriones  having  long  been  used  for  a  genus  of  Gerbillinae,  it 
was  thought  fitting  that  a  subgenus  of  the  same  group  should  be 
named  after  his  companion,  Idomineus.  Adjidaumo,  as  applied  to  an 
extinct  genus  of  rodents  from  the  western  United  States,  requires  for 
many  the  describer's  explanation  that  the  designation  was  the  Indian 
name  of  a  squirrel  borrowed  from  Longfellow's  poem  'Hiawatha.' 

(10)  Names  founded  on  error. — Names  founded  on  error  or  without 
application  are  comparatively  few  in  number,  but  are  still  sufficiently 
numerous  to  warrant  mention.  Errors  as  to  the  relationships  of  ani- 
mals are  to  be  expected  in  the  case  of  extinct  forms  described  from 
fragmentary  remains,  and  it  is  not  surprising  that  additional  specimens 
have  sometimes  shown  that  an  animal  belongs  to  a  different  family  or 
order  from  the  one  to  which  it  was  originally  referred.  Such  errors 
can  be  corrected  when  discovered,  but  the  names  in  which  the}T  are 
sometimes  embodied  must  stand  as  first  published.  Several  generic 
names  thus  erroneously  given  are  strikingly  inapplicable.  Thus 
Aceratherium  was  so  named  because  it  was  supposed  to  be  a  hornless 
rhinoceros,  but  according  to  Osborn  the  animal  probabl}7  did  possess 
a  rudimentary  horn.  Ailuravus,  originally  supposed  to  be  an  ancestral 
carnivore,  is  now  regarded  as  a  squirrel.  Aodon  (the  toothless  whale 
of  Havre)  really  belongs  to  the  toothed  whales,  but  was  described  from 
an  old  specimen  of  Mesoplodon  Mdens  which  had  evidently  lost  its 
teeth.  The  well-known  genus  of  zeuglodon,  originally  described  as 
Basilosaurus  (king  of  the  saurians)  from  its  supposed  reptilian  charac- 
ters, is  now  known  to  be  a  cetacean  and  not  a  reptile.  Condylura 
(knotted  tail)  was  applied  to  the  star-nosed  moles  b}r  Illiger,  who 
based  his  description  on  a  very  imperfect  figure,  in  which  the  tail  was 
represented  as  having  a  series  of  nodes.  Syperoodon  and  Uranodon 
(palate  tooth)  were  applied  to  the  same  genus  of  ziphioid  whales  on 
account  of  the  rough  papillae  on  the  palate,  which  were  at  first  mis- 
taken for  teeth.  Paradoxurus  (strange  tail)  owes  its  name  to  the 
circumstance  that  the  tail,  which  the  animal  has  power  to  coil  to  some 
extent,  was  originally  supposed  to  be  prehensile,  a  character  which 
would  certainly  be  anomalous  in  the  civet  cats.  Protorhea,  based  on 
an  imperfect  femur,  was  at  first  supposed  to  be  an  extinct  struthious 
bird,  but  was  afterwards  regarded  as  a  mammal  related  to  the  llamas. 
Stemmatopus  (wreathed  foot)  was  given  to  the  hooded  seal  by  Cuvier, 
though  it  is  probable  that  the  name  intended  was  Stemmatqps  (wreathed 
face),  in  allusion  to  the  hood,  and  that  the  insertion  of  a  u  by  mistake

transferred  the  allusion  to  the  other  extremity  of  the  animal   and 
destroyed  the  application  of  th#  name. 

Finally  may  be  mentioned  nonsense  names,  which  comprise  coined 
names  and  anagrams  (see  pp.  46-47),  mere  arbitrary  combinations  of 
letters  which  have  no  meaning  and  no  application.  Explanations, 
however,  arc  necessary  to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  names  have 
been  coined,  or.  in  the  case  of  anagrams,  to  show  from  what  names 
they  have  been  formed. 

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 

One  of  the  pleasantest  features  connected  with  the  preparation  of 
this  index,  and  one  which  has  done  much  to  relieve  the  monotonous 
labor  of  compilation  and  cheeking  references,  has  been  the  hearty  and 
generous  spirit  of  cooperation  manifested  by  those  to  whom  applica- 
tion for  assistance  has  been  made.  Without  such  cooperation  the  work 
would  have  been  far  from  complete;  many  names  here  included  would 
have  escaped  notice;  many  that  have  been  verified  would  have  lacked 
that  element  of  certainty,  and  material  and  information  of  various 
kinds  that  contribute  to  the  value  of  the  book  would  have  been  want- 
ing. I  take  pleasure  in  acknowledging  my  indebtedness  for  such  aid 
to  the  many  individuals  who  have  placed  their  time,  services,  and 
information  at  my  disposal. 

To  Dr.  C.  Hart  Merriam,  who  originally  projected  the  index,  I  am 
under  especial  obligations,  not  only  for  allowing  me  to  work  it  out  in 
my  own  way  and  to  carry  it  far  beyond  the  original  limits,  but  also 
for  furnishing  every  aid  in  the  way  of  clerical  help  and  particularly 
for  personal  suggestion  and  supervision. 

My  thanks,  as  well  as  of  all  those  who  use  the  index,  are  due  to  Mr. 
F.  H.  Waterhouse,  librarian  of  the  Zoological  Societ}T  of  London,  who 
was  engaged  on  a  similar  work,  and  on  learning  of  the  present  index 
promptly  and  very  generously  placed  his  manuscript  at  my  disposal. 
His  list  not  only  added  a  number  of  names  and  earlier  references,  but 
it  furnished  an  invaluable  check  on  the  accuracy  of  the  whole  work. 
Since  the  3,000  or  more  names  which  we  had  in  common  have  been 
thus  verified  by  two  independent  workers,  much  more  confidence  can 
be  placed  in  the  references.  Acknowledgment  is  due  to  Dr.  P.  L. 
Sclater,  formerly  secretary  of  the  Zoological  Society  of  London,  who 
has  shown  great  interest  in  the  wTork  and  generously  offered  to  have 
references  to  books  inaccessible  in  this  country  verified  in  the  library 
of  the  Zoological  Society.  To  Dr.  Theodore  Gill  I  am  under  great  obli- 
gations for  several  names  new  to  the  list,  for  frequent  advice  concern- 
ing questions  of  nomenclature,  references  to  obscure  or  rare  books, 
information  respecting  family  names,  and  especially  for  constant 
assistance  in  determining  the  etymologies  of  names  and  in  correcting 
the  proof. 


68  INDEX  GENEKUM  MAMMALIUM. 

The  completeness  of  the  index  has  been  greatly  enhanced  b}^  work- 
ing naturalists,  who  have  sent  separates  of  their  papers  containing  new 
names,  have  revised  lists  of  their  genera  submitted  to  them  for  that 
purpose,  or  furnished  information  which  has  made  it  possible  to 
include  full  lists  of  the  names  published  by  them.  In  some  cases. 
notably  that  of  Dr.  Florentino  Ameghino,  director  of  the  Museo 
Nacional,  Buenos  Aires  (who  has  named  over  four  hundred  genera  of 
extinct  mammals),  the  revision  of  such  lists  involved  considerable 
labor.  Among  others  who  have  furnished  lists  of  their  genera  are 
Dr.  J.  A.  Allen,  curator  of  mammals  in  the  American  Museum  of 
Natural  Histoiy,  New  York;  Dr.  Ch.  Deperet,  of  Lyons,  France; 
Mr.  C.  W.  De  Vis,  curator  of  the  Queensland  Museum,  Brisbane; 
Prof.  Dr.  Alfred  Nehring,  of  Berlin;  Prof.  Henry  F.  Osborn,  of 
Columbia  University,  New  York;  Prof.  William  B.  Scott,  of  Princeton 
University;  Mr.  Oldlield  Thomas,  curator  of  mammals  in  the  Natural 
History  Museum,  London;  Dr.  E.  L.  Trouessart,  of  Paris,  and  Dr. 
F.  W.  True,  of  the  U.  S.  National  Museum. 

For  important  aid  in  looking  up  or  verifying  references  to  books 
inaccessible  in  Washington,  acknowledgments  are  due  Mr.  C.  Davies 
Sherborn  and  Mr.  Oldfield  Thomas,  of  the  British  Museum;  Dr.  J.  A. 
Allen,  of  the  American  Museum;  Mr.  S.  N.  Rhoads,  and  Mr.  Witmer 
Stone,  of  Philadelphia. 

I  am  also  under  obligations  to  several  persons  for  special  assistance 
rendered  in  various  ways.  To  Mr.  W.  E.  De  Winton,  of  the  British 
Museum,  for  dates  and  etymology  of  ^Ethurus;  to  Dr.  Paul  Matschie, 
of  the  Berlin  Museum,  for  publications;  to  Dr.  Santiago  Roth,  of  La 
Plata,  Argentina,  for  copies  of  papers  and  for  information  concerning 
several  generic  names;  to  Mr.  W.  L.  Sclater,  Director  of  the  South 
African  Museum,  for  information  respecting  several  South  African 
rodents;  to  Mr.  F.  A.  Lucas,  of  the  U.  S.  National  Museum,  and 
Dr.  E.  L.  Trouessart,  of  Paris,  for  references  and  assistance  in 
other  ways;  to  Dr.  William  H.  Dall  and  Dr.  Leonhard  Stejneger, 
for  advice  regarding  questions  of  nomenclature;  to  Prof.  O.  P.  Hay, 
of  the  American  Museum  of  Natural  History,  for  references,  numerous 
suggestions  during  the  progress  of  the  work,  and  for  the  opportunity 
of  examining  the  proof  of  his  'Catalogue  of  Extinct  Vertebrates  of 
North  America;'  to  Dr.  W.  D.  Matthew,  of  the  American  Museum, 
New  York,  for  notes  on  several  doubtful  groups  of  extinct  mammals; 
to  Mr.  Gerrit  S.  Miller,  jr.,  for  several  names,  for  verifying  refer- 
ences, and  for  information  regarding  the  genera  of  Vespertilionidas 
and  Microtin.e;  to  Dr.  Charles  W.  Richmond,  for  references  and  data 
concerning  dates  of  publication  of  names;  and  to  Miss  Mary  J.  Rath- 
bun,  for  the  privilege  of  consulting  her  manuscript  catalogue  of  genera 
of  Crustacea  in  the  search  for  names  which  might  preoccupy  names  of 
mammals,  and  also  for  calling  1113^  attention  to  the  generic  names  con- 
tained in  Brewster's  Encyclopedia. 


A    LIST    OF   THE    GENERA    AND    FAMILIES    OF   MAMMALS.         69 

In  the  preparation  of  the  manuscript  for  the  press  Miss  Louise  de 
Bonneville  has  rendered  much  assistance  in  checking-  derivations  and 
looking-  up  the  application  of  names. 

Finally,  special  mention  should  be  made  of  the  careful  and  pains- 
taking- work  of  Miss  Thora  Steineger,  who  under  my  direction  has 
looked  up  many  of  the  references,  indexed  most  of  the  families,  added 
many  names,  and  typewritten  practically  the  whole  list  with  great 
care.  During  three  trips  abroad  she  verified  numerous  references  in 
the  libraries  in  Bergen,  Berlin,  London,  and  Paris,  and  her  visit  to  the 
library  of  the  Zoological  Society  of  London  brought  the  index  to  the 
notice  of  Mr.  Waterhouse  and  eventually  resulted  in  the  acquisition 
of  his  manuscript.

Type:  Agouti paca  (  =Muspaea  Linna?us),  from  South  America. 

Agouti:  The  native  name,  probably  the  same  as  acuti,  attentive,  vigilant — in  ref- 
erence to  the  habits  of  the  animals.     (See  explanation  under  Cittia. )

Agrichcegus  Gore,  1874.  Ungulata,  Artiodactyla  ? 

Glossary  Fossil  Mamm.,  5,  1874. 

"A  genus  of  Ruminant,  having  some  affinities  with  Meri/copotamus;  found  in 
Miocene  deposits  in  North  America." — Gore.  This  name  has  not  been  found 
except  in  this  place.  It  is  evidently  not  a  misprint  for  Agriochccrus,  as  the 
latter  name  follows  it  in  the  Glossary  and  is  defined  as  "a  genus  of  Mammals 
.  .  .  allied  to  the  Oreodon." 

Extinct.

XXI,  559-570,  1884. 

Type:  Agriochccrus  antiquus  Leidy,  from  the  Oligocene  of  South  Dakota. 

Extinct.  Based  on  "a  great  portion  of  the  face  and  inferior  maxilla,  contain- 
ing six  molar  teeth  on  each  side,  and  the  posterior  two  molars  of  both  sides 
superiorly  of  another  individual." 

Agriochoerus:  aypioc,,  wild;  x°~1P°^j  hog. 
Agriodus  (subgenus  of  Cards),  H.  Smith,  1840.  Fene,  Canidae.

152,  1858;  V,  258-261,  298,  pi.  23*  2  figs,  in  text,  1865. 

Type:  Agriodus  auritus  H.  Smith  (  =  Canis  megalotis  Desmarest),  from  the  Cape 
of  Good  Hope. 

"The  anomalous  character  of  the  teeth  indicates  the  food  of  the  Agriodus  to  differ 
considerably  from  that  of  other  Carridse,  and  no  doubt  the  manners  of  the  species 
are  equally  influenced  by  this  conformation.  These  considerations  induced  us 
to  prefer  the  name  here  assigned  to  the  subgenus  to  that  of  Megalotis,  which 
Illiger  originally  bestowed  upon  the  Fennecs."  Antedated  by  Otocyon  Mid- 
ler, 1836. 

Agriodus:  aypiog,  wild  (possibly  in  the  sense  of  aberrant);  oSov?,  tooth.  This 
genus  has  4fi  or  48  teeth,  including  a  greater  number  of  molars  than  is  pos- 
sessed by  any  other  heterodont  mammal.

Gray  as  having  small  epaulet-like  tufts  of  white  hair  on  the  shoulders,  a  char- 
acter which  evidently  suggested  the  common  designation  'epaulet  bat,'  as  well 
as  the  generic  name.

In  an  article  on  the  ' Springbock '  of  the  Cape  region  (now  known  as  Antidorcas 
euchore)  Sparrman  says  that  Pallas  calls  tbisanimal  - 1  ntilopepygargus.  Sparrman 
also  mentions  Capra  cervicapra  of  Linnaeus,  based  on  figures  by  Houttein  and 
Dodart,  but  states  that  the  latter  figure  does  not  fit  the  Springbock.  He  adds: 
"The  name  Cervicapra  might  be  applied  to  the  entire  group  of  Gazelles,  to 
indicate  a  form  intermediate  between  the  deer  and  goats."  This  name  was 
called  to  the  attention  of  Mr.  Oldfield  Thomas,  of  the  British  Museum,  who, 
after  consulting  Mr.  Bather,  replied:  "We  agree  that  the  name  should  be  con- 
sidered as  validly  founded,  but  that  (on  the  name  rule)  the  type  of  it  would 
be  Antilope  cervicapra  Linn.  .  .  .

species  to  be  distributed  in  either  Arctomys  or  SpermopMlus.  As  the  name  chosen 
for  the  new  group  is  the  Linmean  specific  name  of  the  suoslik  (changed  in  spelling 
from  citellus  to  citillus),  this  species  should  be  construed  as  the  type  of  the  genus 
OitiUus,  although  he  included  under  it  three  other  species  there  described  as  new,

Marsup.  &.  Monotrem.  Brit.  Mus.,  377, 1888)  has  claimed  that  the  name  was  not 

preoccupied,  as  no  species  was  mentioned  as  the  type  of  Forster's  genus,  and  the 

description  is  unrecognizable,  it  being  thus  virtually  a  nomen  nudum.     Later 

he  admitted  that  the  name  was  preoccupied  and  adopted  Tachyglossus.     (See

1828;"  Trans.  Linn.  Soc.  London,  XVI,  pt.  i,  97,  1829. 
Type:  Echinothrix  dorsata  {==Hystrix  dorsata  Linnaeus),  from  eastern  Canada. 
Echinothrix:  e^^0?,  hedgehog;  bpis,  hair — in  allusion  to  the  barhe<l  quills,  or 

spines,  which  are  mingled  with  and  usually  concealed  by  the  hair. 

Echinothrix  Alston,  1876.  Glires,  Muriday  Rhynchomyinse.

Emendation  of  Echiothrix  Gray,  1867. 
Preoccupied   by  Echinothrix  Brookes,  1828,  a  genus  of  Erethizontidse;  and  by 

Echinothrix  Peters,  1853,  a  genus  of  Eohinodermata.     Replaced  by  Craurotliri.c 

Thomas,  1896. 
Echinothrix:  exiyo$,  hedgehog;  Qpi%,  hair — in  allusion  to  the  flattened  spines 

which  are  mixed  with  the  fur.

Echinothrix  Alston,  Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  London,  1876,  83;  Ogilby,  Cat.  Australian 
Mamm.  121, 1892. 

Type:  Echiothrix  leucura  Gray,  said  to  be  from  Australia,  but  more  probably  from 
Celebes  (cf.  Thomas,  Ann.  &  Mag.  Nat.  Hist.,  6th  ser.,  XVIII,  246,  1896). 

Name  preoccupied  by  Echinothrix  Brookes,  1828,  a  genus  of  Erethizontidae;  and 
by  Echinothrix  Peters,  1 853,  a  genus  of  Echinodermata.  Replaced  1  >y  <  raurothrix 
Thomas,  1896.  The  latter  name  was  afterwards  discarded  by  Thomas  with 
the  following  explanation:  "As  I  have  now  joined  those  who  think  that  names 
should  be  retained  as  originally  spelt,  whether  classically  right  or  wrong 
(except  in  the  case  of  obvious  misprints),  I  am  now  prepared  to  consider  that 
Peters's  Echinothrix  of  1853  does  not  preoccupy  <  rray's  Echiothrix  of  1867,  and 
therefore  again  recognize  the  latter  term  .  .  .  That  the  missing  out  of  the 
letter  n  is  not  a  misprint  is  shown  by  Gray  having  written  on  the  type  skin 
what  appears  to  be  '  Echithrix,'  might  be  'Echiothrix,'  but  is  certainly  not 
Echinotlrrix."    (Trans.  Zool.  Soc.  London,  XIV,  pt.  vi,  397  i< >< >tnote  June,  1898. ) 

Echiothrix:^  a  contraction  of  £X'vo?,  hedgehog;  Opi:,  hair — from  the  flattened

*The  prefix  eo-  was  proposed  by  Owen  to  indicate  a  genus  occurring  in  the  Eocene

was  invented  by  Lyell,  as  Owen  explains  (Brit.  Foss.  Mamm.,  5,  1846),  to  indicate 
"the  first  commencement,  or  dawn,  of  the  existing  state  of  the  animal  creation." 
Dobson  afterwards  used  eo-  in  the  sense  of  '  eastern '  for  a  recent  genus,  and  the  prefix 
has  been  employed  with  this  meaning  for  a  few  groups  of  mammals  from  the  Ori- 
ental and  Ethiopian  regions  viz,  Eonycteris,  Eosciurus,  Eothenomys,  Eoxerus,  and 
Eozapus.

1766  ( =  Gapra  dorcas Linnaeus,  1758) .  Ogilby  in  1837  stated:  "Typus  est  Gazella 
dorcas  (Ant.  dorcas),"  from  Africa.  Sclater  &  Thomas,  however,  selected  .4. 
subguUurosa  as  the  type  on  the  following  ground:  "This  species  ^subgutturosa"] 
may  be  taken  as  the  type  of  Gazella,  as  being  the  only  one  which  is  common 
to  Lichtenstein' s  original  genus,  and  to  Blainville's  'Gazella'  of  1816.  The 
latter  author  is  ordinarily  quoted  as  the  original  founder  of  the  name,  and 
his  list  includes  the  best-known  species — G.  dorcas.  But  Lichtenstein's  genus, 
two  years  earlier  in  date,  does  not  contain  G.  dorcas  at  all,  and  the  only  way

Gundi  ('Fischer')  Lataste,  1881.  Glires,  Octodontida?. 

Lataste,  Bull.  Soc.  Zool.  de  France,  VI,  223,  1881. 

Gundi  is  erroneously  given  as  a  generic  name  by  Lataste,  who  refers  it  to  Fischer. 
Following  is  a  full  statement  of  the  question:  "  En  1829  Fischer  (Syn.  Manim., 
p.  346)  mentionne  YArctomys  gundi  avec  une  diagnose  et  une  indication 
d' habitat  qu'il  emprunte  aux  auteurs  dont  il  cite  les  noma:  Rothman,  Pallas, 
Pennant,  Shaw.  Dans  cet  article,  ce  dernier  nom  termine  les  indications 
synonymiques,  et  il  est  suivi  de  ces  mots:  'Gundi  araMcus'  (le  Gundi  des 
arabes).  C'est  vraisemblablement  ce  passage  qui,  mal  lu,  a  fait  attribuer  a 
Shaw  un  genre  et  une  espece  qu'il  n'a  pas  crees,  et  que  personne  n'a  crees,  que 
je  sache."  (Lataste.)  Shaw  merely  says  (Gen.  Zool.,  II,  pt.  i,  123,  1801): 
"It  is  called  by  the  Arabs  Gundi."  This  statement  is  translated  by  Fischer 
"  Gundi  Arabibus"  (nee  arabicus!),  and  is  evidently  intended  to  show  that 
Gundi  is  a  common  and  not  a  generic  name.  The  animal  was  named  Cteno- 
dactylus  by  Gray  in  1830.

Europeans  for  the  vernacular  name  of  the  animal  when  the  natives  exclaimed, 

'Indry  izy!' — 'there  he  is!'     (Handbook    Primates,    I,   108,   1894).     Indri

applied  the  name  Loxolophodon  to  the  species  there  called  Bathmodon  semi- 
cinctus  Cope,  without  generic  character.  With  further  material  it  appears  that 
the  Bathmodon  semicinctus  is  very  near  to  the  B.  radians,  so  that  the  name 
Loxolophodon  was  cancelled  in  this  connection,  and  was  used  again  for  the 
present  genus  without  interference,  especially  as  it  was  first  published  as  a

(Yakuts  and  Tungusians),  never  haying  seen  the  mammoth  alive,  but  finding 
its  bones  near  the  surface  of  the  ground,  believed  the  animal  to  he  a  gigantic 
mole,  which  lived  under  ground  and  perished  when  by  accident  it  saw  the 
light.     (Lucas,  Animals  of  the  Past,  178,  1901.)

Midas:  Midas,  in  Grecian  mythology  a  king  of  Phrygia,  who  was  endowed  with 
the  power  of  turning  everything  he  touched  into  gold.  The  name  was  first 
used  in  mammalogy  as  a  specific  designation  for  Simla  midas,  evidently  on 
account  of  the  golden-yellow  or  bright-reddish  color  of  the  animal's  hands 
and  feet,  and  was  afterwards  adopted  for  the  genus.

"In  the  Journal  de  Physique,  Dr.  Leach  has  pointed  out  the  generic  differences 
that  exist  between  the  Black  and  the  Red  Oranq-otam.  The  first  genus, 
Mimetes,  Leach  ( Chimpanse) ,  the  nearest  animal  to  man,  has  no  intermaxillary 
bone;  it  has  the  last  joint  of  the  great  toe  perfect;  and  has  the  ligamentum 
suspensorium  of  the  thigh  bone.  The  type  is  Simla  troglodytes1'  from  West 
Africa  (Ann.  Philos.  104).  This  is  an  error,  as  the  generic  name  given  to  the 
'Chimpanze'  in  the  Journal  dc  Physique  (LXXXIX,  156,  Aug.,  1819)  is 
Troglodytes,  not  Mimetes. 

"This  genus  was  proposed  by  W.  E.  Leach  about  1816,*  and  antedates  both 
Troglodytes  of  Geoffroy  and  Authropojnthecus  of  De  Blainville."     (Coues.  )

In  1864  Gray  made  Herpestes  vitticollis  (the  type  of  Ogilby's  Mungos)  the  type 
of  his  new  genus  Tieniogale,  and  in  1882  Thomas  adopted  H.  gambianus  as  the 
type  of  Mungos  Gray.  The  latter  genus  is  therefore  based  on  the  African 
species,  and  is  distinct  from  Ogilby's  Mungos,  based  on  the  Indian  species.

"I  quite  fail  to  follow  Dobson's  reasons  for  upsetting  his  previous  perfectly  cor- 
rect adoption  of  Murina  instead  of  Harpiocephalus  for  the  name  of  the  present  genus. 
Both  by  'page  priority'  and  the  opinion  of  the  'first  reviser'  (Dobson,  in  his  earlier 
work)  Murina  should  be  adopted  for  the  genus,  whether  Harpiocephalus  is  subgeneri- 
cally  synonymous  with  it  or  not."     (Thomas.  )

animal  ...  As  M.  Du  Chaillu  has  not  characterized  his  genus  Potamogale, 
...  I  do  not  think  his  name  has  any  claim  to  be  retained  ...  I  therefore 
propose  .  .  .  as  I  believe  that  it  is  necessary  to  form  a  genus  for  it,  to  call  it

Nephotherium — C<  mtinued.

Mamm.,  22,  1842. 

Species:  Not  named.  The  genus  was  based  on  a  "  flat  bone,  yellowish  white,  solid, 
hard  and  heavy,  rounded,  with  a  reniform  base,  eight  inches  broad  and  six  and 
a  half  long;  half  an  inch  thick;  .  .  .  from  the  alluvial  region  of  Louisiana."  It 
was  supposed  by  Rafinesque  to  have  been  the  head  plate  of  a  fish,  but  the  name 
is  included  under  the  Cetacea  by  Agassiz  and  given  as  a  synonym  of  Physeter 
macrocephalus  by  Leidy  (Ext.  Mamm.  N.  Am.,  444,  1869);  Zittel  also  places 
it  in  the  synonymy  of  Physeter  (Handb.  Palaeont.,  IV,  177,  1892). 

"The  'New  Fossil  Genus'  of  Rafinesque,  named  'Nephrosteon,'  .  .  .  has  no 
other  foundation  than  one  of  these  epiphyses  from  the  remains  of  a  recent 
spermaceti  whale."  (Harlax,  Edinburgh  New  Philos.  Journ.,  XVII,  No.  34, 
p.  362,  Oct.,  1834.)  "As  to  the  bone  called  Nephrosteon,  I  acknowledge  that 
it  may  be  the  epiphysis  of  a  whale,  as  Dr.  H[arlan]  did  tell  me  in  1831,  but 
after  my  pamphlet  was  published."  (Rafinesque,  Atlantic  Journal,  Phila.,

cette  regie,  le  nom  de  Felis  devrait  rester  en  propre  au  groupe  qui  comprend

*Gray  in  1864  mentions  Viverra  fusca  under  Urva  cancrivora  (  =  Gulo  urva). 
Thomas  gives  the  latter  as  the  type,  but  apparently  does  not  consider  it  the  same 
species. 

fThe  prefix  Ot-,  from  ovg  (ard?,  ear,  is  used  (except  in  a  few  cases  like  Otocolobus) 
to  denote  possession  of  large  cars.  The  size  of  the  ear,  however,  is  merely  relative. 
It  may  be  apparently  small  as  in  Otaria,  although  actually  large  in  comparison  with 
that  of  the  '  earless '  seals.

Phocsenopsis:  Phocsena;  oi(us,  appearance — from  its  resemblance  to  the  common

*  There  is  some  doubt  as  to  the  earliest  spelling  of  this  name.  Both  Phocsena 
and  Phoccena  were  published  in  the  same  year,  1817.  The  former  is  given  pref- 
erence as  being  in  accord  with  the  derivation  and  evidently  the  correct  form,  but 
Phoccena  is  the  spelling  adopted  by  Linnaeus  and  some  earlier  authors  for  the  name 
of  the  type  species  which  doubtless  suggested  the  designation  of  the  genus.

A  genus  of  Reptiles;  but  as  used  by  Emmons  (reference  not  found),  the  name  was 
supposed  by  Cope  and  Gill  to  apply  to  a  cetacean  of  the  family  Basilosauridre 
( =Zeuglodontidse).  "With  respect  to  the  genus  Basilosaurus,  it  may  be  noted 
that  the  Polypiychodon  interruptus  of  Emmons  must  be  regarded  as  established 
on  one  of  its  canines.  Whether  the  species  be  the  D.  cetoides  must  be  left  for 
their  examination."     (Cope.)

It  is  also  said  to  be  "a  corruption  of  Mpongwe,  the  name  of  a  tribe  on  the  banks

562  INDEX    GENERUM    MAMMALIUM. 

Presbytis — Continued. 

'"  Both  the  genera  Semnopithecus  and  Presbytis  were  proposed  in  the  same  year, 
1821,  the  former  in  the  French  form  Semnopitheque,  for  S.  entellus  and  S. 
melalophos  (Hist.  Nat.  des  Mammiferes).  .  .  .  The  name  Semnopithecus  has 
been  more  widely  used  than  Presbytis."  (Blanford,  Fauna  Brit.  India, 
Mamm.,  25  1888.)  Presbytis,  however,  has  stronger  claims  for  adoption  on 
grounds  of  priority,  as  it  clearly  antedates  Semnopithecus. 
Presbytis:  itp£6fivric,,  an  old  woman  (7tp£d/3vr7js,  an  old  man).  The  common 
name  'priest  monkey,'  sometimes  used,  seems  to  indicate  that  the  generic 
name  might  have  been  derived  from  Ttpedfivrepoi;,  an  elder,  priest.

Saricovia— Continued. 

Sarieovia:  Saricovienne,  native  name  of  the  animal  in  La  Plata  adopted  by  Button. 
Probably  from  carigueibeju,  the  Brazilian  name  (pronounced  sarigoviou)

Both  words,  according  to  Azara,  are  corrupted  from  mrigoutrembiou,  meaning 
'  eating  sarigues,'  or  opossums.

This  name  is  entered  on  the  authority  of  Sherborn.  The  description  has  not

Not  published  as  a  generic  term,  but  merely  suggested  as  a  better  name  for 

Sivalarctos:  "It  is  strange  that  M.  de  Blainville  should  have  adopted  this  term 

[Sivalarctos']  while  convinced  against  its  being  a  Bear.     If  he  thought  it  nearer 

the  Badger,  Sivaiaxus  or  Sivameles,  should  such  combinations  be  admissible, 

would  have  been  more  appropriate.     But  we  can  not  assent  to  his  conclusion."

have  been  better  to  have  modified  Stmorhynchus  into  Stenorhynchotes,  and  thus 
to  obtain  a  generic  name,  which  whilst  distinctive,  would  have  been  a  less

A  common  name,  given  by  Roger  as  one  of  the  generic  synonyms  of  Mastodon, 
under  M.  andinum  Cuvier.  This  name  is  evidently  taken  from  Leidy's 
Extinct  Mamm.  N.  Am.  (Journ.  Acad.  Nat.  Sci.  Phila.,  2d  ser.,  VII,  242, 
397,  1869.)  Leidy,  however,  uses  it  only  as  a  common  name  in  mentioning  a 
mastodon  tooth  which  he  had  examined  and  figured,  and  which  had  been 
collected  at  Tambla,  a  village  in  Honduras,  in  one  of  the  passes  leading  from 
the  plain  of  Comayagua  to  the  Pacific.

from  King  George  Sound,  Western  Australia,  published  an  account  of  it  in  the  'Annals 
&  Magazine  of  Natural  History'  for  March,  1842,  adopting  Gervais  &  Verreaux's 
name  for  the  genus,  but  describing  the  species  as  T.  spenserse.  Gray's  specific  name

*This  date  is  on  the  authority  of  Geoffroy  himself  (1.  c,  1851,  p.  32).  The  article 
in  which  the  genus  was  described  evidently  appeared  subsequent  to  1842.  (See  page 
550,  on  which  Miopithecus  is  quoted  from  Comptes  Rendus,  XV,  pp.  720,  1037,  1842; 
and  from  Diet.  Univ.  Hist.  Nat.,  Ill,  308,  1842.)  Theropithecus,  although  published 
in  the  same  year  as  Gelada  Gray,  is  entitled  to  adoption  until  the  priority  of  the  latter 
name  is  proved  beyond  question.

"It  has  been  supposed  that  Lichtenstein  has  the  priority  for  the  subgenus  Thios-

Type:  Tribonophorus  desmarestii  Burnett,  from  India? 

'Tribonophorus  desmarestii,  Mantled  R. ' [oussette] ,  as  here  used  is  a  nomen 
nudum,  but  seems  to  be  merely  a  new  name  for  Pteropus  palliatus  Geoffroy.* 
In  Griffith's  Cuvier,  Animal  Kingdom  (V,  58-59,  1827),  which  was  evidently 
used  by  Burnett  in  preparing  his  table,  the  same  common  name  is  given  for  P. 
palliatus  with  the  remark,  "This  species,  says  Desmarest,  when  better  known, 
will  probably  form  a  new  genus,  intermediate  between  Pteropus  and  CepJialoies."

Type:  Tricheclms  manatus  Linnaeus,  from  the  Atlantic  coast  of  tropical  America. 

Trichechus:  This  name  originated  with  Artedi,  who  gave  the  following  derivation 
in  his  Ichthyologia,  pars  1,  p.  74,  1738:  "  Trichechus,  a  Opiq,  crinis,  and  ix^vc,, 
piscis,  quia  solus  inter  pisces  fere  hirsutus  sit."     (Allen's  Pinnipeds,  p.  15.) 

Billberg  (in  allusion  to  the  walrus)  suggests  the  following  etymology:  Trich&cm: 
rpixdiKos,  qui  versatur  in  praeliis. 

The  Century  Dictionary  gives  the  derivation  as  Opiq,  rpixos,  hair;  e'x <*>,  to  have.

the  rhinoceros,  the  name  intended,  did  not  well  apply,  and  ought  to  be  changed

Zebu         ?  1845.  Ungulata,  Artiodactyla,  Bovidte. 

London  Encyclopaedia,  XXII,  752,  1845  (art.  Zoology).

Mus.  Asiatic  Soc,  159,  1863. 

The  genus  was  first  described  in  an  unsigned  article  in  the  London  Encyclopae- 
dia and  was  evidently  based  on  Bos  indicus,  although  no  species  was  men- 
tioned. Blyth's  genus  was  based  on  "the  Zebu  or  humped  cattle  of  the  hotter 
regions  of  Asia  and  Africa." 

Zebu:  French  zebu,  a  name  adopted  by  Buffon  and  supposed  by  him  to  be  from 
an  African  word.  If  not  invented,  it  is  probably  intended  to  represent  the 
East  Indian  zobo,  the  name  of  a  breed  of  cattle  supposed  to  be  a  hybrid 
between  the  zebu  and  yak.      (Century  Diet. ) 

The  origin  of  the  name  zebu  is  quite  unknown,  it  being  foreign  to  all  the  native 
languages  of  India.      (Lydekker,  Wild  Oxen,  Sheep,  and  Goats  of  All  Lands,

Zebua  ('Erxleben')  Gray,  1837.  Marsupialia,  Macropodidte. 

Charlesworth's  Mag.  Nat.  Hist.,  I,  582,  1837. 

Possibly  a  misprint  for  Yerboa  Zimmermann,  1777.     Gray  gives  the  name  only 

in  the  form  " Macropus  major  Shaw.    Zebua  gigantea  Erxl."     Erxleben  used  the 

name  Jaeuhis  gigantea,  but  Zimmermann  in  the  same  year  (1777)  used  the 

term  Yerboa  gigantea  for  the  same  species.

the  teeth  on  which  the  genus  was  based,  "in  compliance  with  the  suggestion 
of  Dr.  Harlan,  .  .  .  proposes  to  substitute  for  the  name  Basilosaurus  that  of

PART  II.-FAMILY  AND  SUBFAMILY  NAMES  OF  MAMMALS. 


INTRODUCTION. 

A  family  has  been  defined  as  "a  group  of  animals  intermediate 
between  the  genus  and  order  based  on  structural  features  of  a  more 
general  character  than  the  genus,  while  the  limits  are  determined  b}^ 
the  range  and  extent  of  the  differential  characteristics  which  exist 
between  the  typical  form  and  the  next  allied.  A  family  may  there- 
fore be  monotypic  (i.  e.,  limited  to  a  single  known  species)  or  exceed- 
ingly polymorphic  (i.  e.,  embracing  thousands  of  species)."" 

HISTORY.6 

In  the  system  of  classification  adopted  by  Linnaeus  in  1758  only 
four  categories  of  organisms  were  recognized — classes,  orders,  genera, 
and  species.  In  1780  the  number  was  increased  to  11  by  Storr,  and 
numerous  additions  have  since  been  suggested  to  meet  the  requirements 
of  modern  systematists.  In  fact,  as  shown  by  Gill,  no  less  than  31  cate- 
gories have  been  proposed  in  the  series  beginning  with  the  kingdom 
and  ranging  down  to  the  individual.''  Of  these  20  have  been  actually 
applied  in  the  class  Mammalia,  and  18  in  the  class  Pisces.  Between 
order  and  genus  the  subdivisions,  omitting  the  suborder,  are  7  in 
number.  Of  these,  however,  none  have  come  into  general  use  except 
the  family  and  subfamily. 

The  term  family  as  a  subdivision  of  an  order  was  apparently  first 
used  b}r  Latreille,  in  1796,  in  his  '  Precis  des  Caracteres  generiques 
des  Insectes.'  But  the  groups  to  which  he  gave  the  name  were  desig- 
nated merely  by  numbers,  and  it  was  not  until  ten  years  later,  in  his 
'Genera  Crustaceorum  et  Insectorum,'  published  in  1806,  that  the 
families  were  systematically  named.  Meanwhile,  in  1798,  Cuvier,  in 
his  'Tableau  Elementaire  de  THistoire  Naturelle  des  Animaux,'  had 
divided  two  orders  (one  unnamed,  the  other  Neuropteres)  into  families

f>  The  facts  in  the  following  brief  resume  have  been  drawn  chiefly  from  an  address 
delivered  by  Dr.  Theo.  Gill  before  the  Buffalo  meeting  of  American  Association  for 
the  Advancement  of  Science,  Proc.  A.  A.  A.  S.,  XLV,  p.  24  et  seq.,  1896. 

cGill  suggests  that  a  happy  mean  may  be  obtained  by  adopting  13  divisions  in  the 
animal  kingdom — branch  and  subbranch,  and  species  and  subspecies  for  the 
extremes — while  the  intermediate  groups,  order,  family,  and  genus,  are  each  accom- 
panied by  a  super  and  a  sub  group.

and  applied  names  to  the  groups,  and  Dumeril,  in  1806,  in  his  '  Zoolo- 
gie  Analytique,'  had  recognized  families  in  all  the  classes,  and  desig- 
nated them  mainly  by  descriptive  names. 

Besides  applying  names  to  families  in  1806,  Latreille  had  divided 
these  groups  into  minor  subdivisions  and  applied  the  term  tribe  (tribu) 
to  the  chief  subdivisions.  In  1815  Rafinesque  employed  the  term  sub- 
family (sous-famille)  with  a  descriptive  name  for  groups  of  the  same 
relative  rank  as  Latreille's  tribes.  The  value  of  these  two  groups 
caused  their  ready  adoption  by  other  zoologists,  and  they  have  come 
into  general  use. 

To  William  Kirby,  an  English  entomologist,  is  due  the  credit  for  the 
suggestion  that  family  names  should  have  a  uniform  ending — 'idre.' 
In  a  paper  published  in  1815  entitled  "  Strepsiptera,  a  New  Order  of 
Insects  Proposed,"  he  says: 

I  think  if  each  order  were  divided  into  denominate  sections  (by  which  I  mean  sec- 
tions that  have  a  name)  it  would  be  a  great  improvement,  and  very  much  facilitate 
the  study  of  this  science.  M.  Latreille  has  led  the  way  here  and  done  much  for  us, 
but  as  is  often  the  case  with  new  inventions,  his  system  is  not  sufficiently  simple  for 
general  use;  his  names,  likewise,  have  not  that  harmony  and  uniformity  of  termina- 
tion which  is  necessary  to  make  them  easily  retained  by  the  memory.  If  we  adopted 
patronymic  appellation  for  these  sections,  for  instance,  Coleoptera  scarabividx,  Coleop- 
tera staphylinidse,  Coleoptera  sphacridiadiv,  Orthoptera gryllidx,  etc.,  it  would  be  liable  to 
no  objection  of  this  kind.« 

The  advantages  of  uniformity  in  distinctive  termination  are  so  evi- 
dent that  Kirby's  suggestion  speedily  found  favor  and  was  adopted  for 
mammals  by  Gray  in  1821  and  by  Bonaparte  in  1831.  It  is  now  gen- 
erally accepted;  but  for  many  years  there  was  no  distinct  and  uni- 
form termination  for  each  of  these  groups,  different  authors  being 
governed  b}r  different  rules.  Agassiz  made  no  distinction  between  fam- 
ilies and  subfamilies,  but  applied  the  ending  oidse  to  names  of  Greek 
origin,  and  inse  to  those  of  Latin  origin.  Burmeister  used  idse,  but 
called  the  groups  thus  distinguished  subfamilies.  Lesson  in  1812 
adopted  the  termination  idese,  other  zoologists  used  the  endings  idior 
or  ida,  and  still  others  in  i  or  ma.  At  present,  however,  uniform  ter- 
minations effectually  distinguish  the  family  and  subfamily  from  other 
groups  and  also  from  each  other.  The  ending  idse  suggested  by  Kirby 
has  been  preserved  for  the  family  and  the  corresponding  ending  inse  is 
applied  to  the  subfamily. h 

Much  less  attention  has  been  paid  by  sj^stematists  to  higher  groups 
than  to  genera  and  species.     Family  names  were  included  in  Agassiz's 

«  Trans.  Linn.  Soc.  London,  XI,  p.  88,  1815. 

&  Blanchard,  following  Pfeffer,  has  called  attention  to  the  grammatical  objections 
to  adding  the  ending  idve  to  Greek  words  without  distinction  (Jahrb.  Hamburg. 
AViss.  Anstalten,  VII,  No.  6,  1890).  Properly,  words  of  the  first  and  second  declen- 
sions ending  in  oe,  a,  and  ?/  should  have  the  termination  Ida'  (short  i);  those  of  the 
third  declension  ending  in  evg,  \dx  (long  i) ;  those  of  the  first  and  second  declensions 
ending  in  zos,  ici,  ?/?,  and  as,  and  those  of  the  third  declension  in  iz  and  iac,  take  iadse; 
while  those  of  the  third  declension  in  cos  and  oj  take  oidss.     All  other  words  of  the 


PAET    II :    INTRODUCTION.  721 

'  Nomenclator  Zoologicus,'  published  in  1842-46,  but  since  then 
apparently  no  attempt  has  been  made  to  index  the  family  and  sub- 
family names  of  mammals. 

STABILITY. 

A  family  name  differs  radically  from  that  of  a  species,  genus  or 
order,  in  being-  based  on  the  name  of  one  of  its  subordinate  groups,  its 
validity  depending-  on  whether  its  type  genus  is  recognized  or  not.  It 
carries  its  type,  so  to  speak,  within  itself,  and  therefore  can  not  be  a 
nomen  nudum  in  the  sense  in  which  a  generic  name  may  be,  except 
when  the  genus  on  which  it  is  based  is  a  nomen  nudum.  Moreover, 
family  names  are  rarely  preoccupied,  since  there  can  not  be  two  valid 
generic  names  having  the  same  form  in  use  at  the  same  time.  Occa- 
sionally it  happens  that  a  subfamily  name  of  mammals  may  be  pre- 
occupied by  a  similar  name  in  another  group,  for  example,  Ellobiinae, 
Gill,  1872,  a  subfamily  of  murine  rodents,  is  preoccupied  by  Ellohiinse 
Adams,  1858,  a  subfamily  of  mollusks;  the  former  is  based  on  Ello- 
hius,  the  latter  on  EUdbium,  but  the  form  of  the  subfamily  name  is 
identical  in  both  cases.  There  is  also  the  case  of  OUridse,  Thomas, 
1896,  a  family  of  dormice,  preoccupied  by  Glwridse  Ogilby,  1837. 
However,  in  the  latter  case  the  earlier  name  is  a  descriptive  term,  and 
was  not  based  on  a  generic  name  belonging  to  the  same  group. 

RELATIVE    BANK. 

The  relative  values  assigned  to  families  and  subfamilies  by  dif- 
ferent authors  have  been  almost  as  varied  as  the  terminations 
emplo3"ed.  In  some  cases,  names  ending  in  '  ina '  have  been  employed 
for  groups  higher  than  modern  families — almost  subordinal  in  rank. 
In  other  cases,  the}'  have  been  employed  for  tribes  or  groups 
subordinate  to  the  subfamily.  Owing  to  the  resulting  difficulty  in 
indicating  the  relative  rank  the  expedient  has  here  been  adopted 
of  including  all  names  between  the  genus  and  the  order  that  end  in 
'idi,'  'idae,'  'ida,'  as  well  as  those  that  end  in  'ini,'  'ina?,'  and  'ina.' 
The  former  are  treated  as  families  and  the  latter  as  subfamilies,  irre- 
spective of  whether  the  id  names  are  termed  subfamilies  or  the  m 
names  tribes  or  families.  As  in  the  Index  of  Genera  no  distinction  is 
made  between  genera  and  subgenera,  so  here  families  and  subfamilies 
are  treated  alike,  except  when  a  group  has  been  proposed  as  a  sub- 
family (with  ending  'ini,'  'hire,'  or  'ina')  and  later  on  raised  to  family 

third  declension  take  idse  and  iadas.  Blanchard  has  also  called  attention  to  the  fact 
that  family  names  in  idse  and  iodse  are  masculine,  while  those  of  subfamilies  in  inx 
are  feminine  (Deux.  Rapport  Nomenclature  Etres  Organises,  presente  au  Congres 
Int.  Zool.  Moscou,  pp.  30,  57,  1893).  To  overcome  these  difficulties,  he  proposed  at 
the  meeting  of  the  International  Zoological  Congress,  held  in  Moscow  in  1892,  six 
modifications  to  the  rule  for  the  formation  of  family  names,  but  these  modifications 
were  not  adopted.

'idse'  is  also  included. 

RULES  CONCERNING  FAMILY  NAMES. 

In  the  use  of  designations  of  higher  groups  much  more  latitude  is 
allowed  than  in  the  case  of  either  genera  or  species.  In  fact  on  many 
points  modern  codes  of  nomenclature  are  silent  or  very  indefinite. 
This  will  be  apparent  on  comparing  the  provisions  quoted  below  from 
the  four  principal  zoological  codes,  namely,  the  Strieklandian  Code  of 
1837-42,  the  code  of  the  American  Ornithologists'  Union,  1886;  the 
rules  of  nomenclature  adopted  by  the  International  Congress  of 
Zoology  (the  Paris-Moscow  Code,  1889-92),  and  the  report  of  the 
International  Commission  for  Zoological  Nomenclature,  submitted  to 
the  Fourth  International  Congress,  L898. 

Strieklandian  Code,  t837.a — Rule  16.  The  names  of  tribes,  fami- 
lies, and  subfamilies  should  each  have  a  distinctive  termination. 
(Swainson.) 

18.  The  names  of  families  and  subfamilies  should  be  derived  from 
the  most  typical  genus  in  them.     (Swainson.) 

These  rules  were  modified  in  1842 h  as  follows: 

B.  It  is  recommended  that  the  assemblages  of  genera  termed  fami- 
lies should  be  uniformly  named  by  adding  the  termination  'idse'  to 
the  name  of  the  earliest-known  or  most  typically  characterized  genus 
in  them,  and  that  their  subdivisions,  termed  subfamilies,  should  be 
similarly  constructed,  with  the  termination  '  ina\' 

These  words  are  formed  by  changing  the  last  syllable  of  the  geni- 
tive case  into  '  ida? '  or  'inse,'  as  strix,  strigis,  strigidae;  buceros, 
bucerotis,  bucerotidse;  not  strixidse,  buceridse. 

A.  0.  U.  Code,  1886. — Canon  5.  Proper  names  of  families  and  sub- 
families take  the  tenable  name  of  some  genus,  preferably  the  leading 
one,  which  these  groups,  respectively,  contain,  with  change  of  termi- 
nation into  'idas'  or  'inse.5  When  the  generic  name  becomes  a 
synonym,  a  current  family  or  subfamily  name  based  upon  such 
generic  name  becomes  untenable. 

Canon  1(5.  The  law  of  priority  is  only  comparatively  operative  in 
relation  to  names  of  groups  higher  than  genera,  and  only  where  names 
are  strictly  synonymous. '

''Kept,  Brit.  Ass.  Adv.  Sci.,  p.  119,  1843. 

<■'  "A  time  will  doubtless  arrive  when  imitations  in  the  names  of  the  higher  groups, 
particularly  families,  will  l>e  as  unnecessary  as  they  are  undesirable;  but  in  zoology 
that  time  has  not  yet  come. 

"  It  should  be  clearly  borne  in  mind  that  such  changes  are  only  allowable  when 
by  mutation  of  the  characters,  or  through  newly  discovered  facts,  the  name  in  ques- 
tion has  become  glaringly  erroneous  or  liable  to  introduce  errors  or  confusion  into 
science.  In  family  names,  this  occurs  most  often  when  a  genus  from  whose  name 
that  of  the  family   must  have  been  taken  is  removed   from  association   with   the

Report  of  the  Fourth  International  <  ongress,  1898. — Section  31. 

The  name  of  a  family  is  formed  by  adding  the  ending  idee,  the  name 
of  a  subfamily  by  adding  hue  to  the  root  of  the  name  of  its  type  genus. 

Section  32.  The  name  of  a  family  or  subfamily  should  be  changed 
when  the  generic  name  serving  as  type  is  changed. 

APPLICATION   OF    KULES. 

In  one  respect  the  various  codes  are  in  complete  agreement,  viz,  in 
declaring  that  families  should  be  based  on  valid  genera,  and  should 
have  the  termination  'ida?,'  while  subfamilies  should  end  in  '  inse.' 
But  as  to  the  names  to  which  these  terminations  are  to  be  applied  there 
is  room  for  considerable  diversity  of  opinion.  The  Stricklandian  Code 
declares  that  the  family  should  be  based  on  "the  earliest  known  or 
most  typically  characterized  genus;"  the  A.  O.  U.  Code  on  the  "tenable 
name  of  some  genus,  preferably  tJie  leading  one/"  the  International 
Code,  "au  radical  du  genre  servant  de  type."  Again  the  A.  O.  U. 
Code  declares  that  the  law  of  priority  applies  only  where  names  are 
strictly  synonymous  and  is  at  best  only  partially  operative,  while  the 
International  Code  states  that  the  law  is  applicable  to  the  names  of 
groups  of  the  same  extent,  but  implies  that  it  is  not  mandatory  as  in 
the  case  of  genera  and  species. 

A  few  examples  will  show  the  difficulty  of  applying  these  rules. 
The  chinchillas  form  a  homogeneous  group  of  three  genera,  the  visca- 
chas,  Viscacda,  1816  or  Zagostomus,  1828;  the  true  chinchillas  with  five 
toes  on  the  front  feet,  Chinchilla,  1829,  or  Er/oi/tys,  1829;  and  the  four- 
toed  chinchillas,  Lagidium,  1833.  The  first  is  restricted  to  the  pampas 
of  Argentina  and  the  last  two  are  confined  to  the  Andes  of  Peru  and 
Chile.  Thus  there  are  five  names — Viscaccia,  Lagostonvus,  Chinchilla, 
Erioinys,  and  Lagidium — for  three  genera,  and  four  of  these  five  generic 
names  have  been  used  as  the  basis  of  the  four  corresponding  family 
names,  Viscachidese   1842,  Chinch  illidse   1S33,  Eriomyidse   1854,  and 

majority  of  the  genera  which  that  family  has  included,  and  that  genus  is  inserted 
in  another  family.  Also,  when  a  large  number  of  genera  are  redistributed  into  fam- 
ilies, widely  differing  in  their  limits  from  those  in  which  they  had  previously  been 
known.  In  either  of  these  cases,  liability  to  error  may  be  so  great  as  to  render  a 
new  name  desirable."     (Dall,  Kept.  Am.  Ass.  Adv.  Sci.,  1877,  p.  27.) 


724  INDEX    GENEKUM    MAMMALIUM. 

Lagostomida?  1838.  Moreover,  Chinchillidae,  Eriomyidae,  and  Lago- 
stomida3  are  in  more  or  less  common  use  and  all  apply  to  the  same 
group.  It  is  now  known  that  Viscaccia  antedates  Lagostomus  by 
twelve  years;  and  it  can  be  shown  that  Eriomys  and  Chinchilla  were 
published  in  the  same  year,  but  that  the  latter  was  more  fully  described 
and  hence  is  better  entitled  to  recognition;  La gostomus  and  Eriomys 
being  thus  reduced  to  synonymy,  Lagostomidas  and  Eriomyidae  need 
not  be  considered.  Of  the  other  two,  Chinchillidse  1833  was  actually 
the  earliest  family  name,  whereas  Viscachideae  1842  was  based  on  the 
earliest  genus.  The  A.  O.  IT.  Code  furnishes  little  help  in  the  solution 
of  this  question,  since  it  is  difficult  to  say  whether  Chinchilla  or  Vis- 
caccia is  the  leading  genus.  Under  the  Stricklandian  Code  it  is  equally 
difficult  to  determine  which  is  the  most  typically  characterized  genus, 
but  there  is  no  doubt  that  Viscaccia  was  the  earliest  known;  hence, 
under  the  second  requirement  of  that  code,  the  family  name  would 
become  Viscacciidae — a  term  scarcely  ever  used. 

The  American  kangaroo  rats  and  pocket  mice,  comprising  the  live 
genera  Dipodomys,  Perodipus,  Microdipodops,  Perognathus,  and 
Heteromys,  have  long  been  known  under  the  family  name  of  Sacco- 
myidae,  but  Saccomys  has  been  dropped  as  unidentifiable  and  recently 
Heteromyidae  has  been  adopted  for  the  family.  At  least  three  of  the 
genera,  including  Heteromys,  had  been  previously  selected  as  types  of 
higher  groups:  In  1853  Gervais  named  the  family  Dipodomyna;  in 
1868  Gray  recognized  two  tribes,  Dipodomyina  and  Heteromyina, 
and  in  1875  Coues  separated  the  subfamily,  Perognathidina?.  Under 
the  A.  O.  U.  Code,  any  one  of  the  three  genera  Heteroiin/x,  Dvpod- 
omys,  and  Perognathws  would  have  claims  to  recognition  as  the  leading 
genus,  though  Dipodomys  is  usually  considered  the  most  typical ;  and 
by  selecting  the  family  names  according  to  priority  of  publication 
and  without  reference  to  the  date  of  the  genus,  Dipodomyidjc  would 
be  the  proper  name.  But  Allen,  in  adopting  Heteromyidae,  followed 
the  Stricklandian  Code  literally,  basing  the  family  name  on  the  first- 
described  genus,  although  this  action  transferred  the  type  of  the  family 
to  one  of  the  most  aberrant  members  of  the  group. 

These  examples  illustrate  the  two  main  difficulties  in  existing 
rules  for  family  names:  (1)  Confusion  due  to  the  use  of  several 
names  all  of  which  may  be  applicable  to  the  same  group;  (2)  change 
in  type,  which  sometimes  occurs  when  the  family  name  is  uniformly 
based  on  the  first-described  genus.  Were  mammalogists  to  adopt 
the  earliest  genus  as  a  basis  for  the  family  name  such  a  rule  would 
necessitate  a  number  of  changes;  thus,  in  the  Glires,  Caviidse  (Cavia, 
1706)  would  become  Hydrochceridre  (Hydrochaerus,  1762);  Dasyproctida? 
(Dasyprocta,  1811)  would  become  Agoutida*  (Agouti,  1799);  Erethizon- 
tidae  (Erethizon,  1822)  would  become  Coendidae  (Coendou,  1799),  and 
Octodontidre  (Octodon,  1832),  would  become  Myocastorida?  {Myocastor, 
1792).

Note. — An  asterisk   (*)   indicates  that  the  group  is  extinct.    A  double  dagger  (J)  indicates  that 

the  name  is  not  available  on  account  of  being  a  descriptive  term  not  based  on  a  genus,  or  because 

the  generic  name  from  which  it  is  formed  is  preoccupied. 
No  attempt  is  made  to  mark  names  which  are  unavailable  because  the  genera  on  which  they  are 

based  have  lapsed  into  synonymy. 
Small  black-face  type  is  used  for  names  originally  proposed  as  subfamilies  and  afterwards  raised  to

PART  III.— INDEX  OF  GENERA  ARRANGED  ACCORDING  TO 
ORDERS  AND  FAMILIES. 


INTRODUCTION. 

The  alphabetical  indexes  of  genera  and  families  in  Parts  I  and  II 
will  facilitate  reference  to  a  given  name  and  aid  in  ascertaining  its 
place  of  publication,  its  type,  or  its  etymolog}7;  but  if  it  is  neces- 
sary to  know  what  names  have  been  used  in  a  certain  group,  why  a 
name  is  unavailable,  or  whether  any  published  name  is  available  for 
one  which  is  preoccupied,  such  information  can  be  obtained  from  them, 
if  at  all,  only  after  much  labor,  or  by  first  consulting  elsewhere  a  full 
list  of  synonyms  of  the  group. 

These  difficulties  became  apparent  early  in  the  progress  of  the  work, 
and  in  order  to  obviate  them  experiments  were  made  in  tabulating  the 
names  under  each  of  the  higher  groups.  The  most  satisfactory 
arrangement  was  published  in  December,  1897,  in  a  paper  entitled 
'A  List  of  the  Generic  and  Family  Names  of  Rodents.'"  In  this  list 
the  names  were  arranged  alphabetically  under  families,  and  the  recent 
and  extinct  groups  distinguished  by  the  use  of  black-face  type  for  the 
former  and  italics  for  the  latter,  as  in  the  following  pages.  Every- 
thing was  subordinated  to  convenience  of  reference;  genera  and  sub- 
genera were  treated  alike,  references  omitted,  and  the  accompanjung 
data  reduced  to  the  three  most  important  items  of  author,  date,  and 
type  or  included  species,  so  that  the  entries  under  each  name  would 
be  as  brief  as  possible  and  in  ordinary  cases  restricted  to  a  single 
line. 

This  arrangement  seemed  to  serve  the  purpose  so  well  that  it  has 
been  adopted  in  the  present  work  with  three  important  modifications — 
addition  of  the  type  localities  (which,  however,  are  usually  reduced  to 
two  or  three  words),  incorporation  of  cross  references  to  direct  atten- 
tion to  synonyms  or  new  names  for  those  preoccupied,  and  omission 
of  variants  except  those  which  differ  in  the  initial  letter  or  are  other- 
wise of  special  importance. 

ARRANGEMENT. 

As  in  the  other  parts  of  the  work,  orders,  families,  and  genera  are 
alphabetically  arranged.      But    this    has   made   it  difficult   in    some

778  INDEX    GENERUM    MAMMALIUM. 

respects  to  adopt  a  system  of  classification  which  would  reflect  mod- 
ern views  and  at  the  same  time  meet  the  needs  of  the  index.  If 
too  conservative  an  arrangement  of  the  higher  groups  were  adopted 
the  families  would  often  be  so  broad  that  the  lists  would  be  long  and 
unwieldy,  and  include  names  of  genera  which  are  now  recognized  as 
belonging  to  distinct  groups.  If,  on  the  other  hand,  too  much  subdi- 
vision were  attempted  the  names  of  related  genera  would  be  scattered 
under  several  families  which,  on  account  of  the  alphabetical  arrange- 
ment, would  not  be  in  close  proximity.  The  following  arrangement 
is  therefore  more  or  less  of  a  compromise,  and  is  not  to  be  regarded 
in  an}'  sense  as  an  ideal  system  of  classification,  but  merely  as  a 
system  adopted  especially  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  present  work 
and  to  facilitate  comparison  of  the  generic  names.  It  can  hardly  be 
expected  that  this  arrangement  will  meet  with  general  acceptance, 
especially  in  the  case  of  some  of  the  extinct  groups;  but  when  genera 
are  subject  to  such  frequent  and  violent  changes  as  are  common  in 
paleontology — when,  for  example,  a  group  is  shifted  from  the  Pri- 
mates to  the  Glires,  as  in  the  case  of  Mixodectes" — it  is  almost  impos- 
sible to  find  a  scheme  of  classification  which  will  be  stable  for  any 
length  of  time. 

The  treatment  of  families  is  conservative,  but  at  the  same  time  most 
of  the  groups  which  are  currently  recognized — nearly  two  hundred  in 
number — have  been  admitted. 

The  classification  adopted  follows,  in  the  main,  that  of  Flower  and 
Lydekker's  '  Mammals,  Living  and  Extinct'  (1891),  but  with  modifi- 
cations in  many  cases.  Thus  the  Edentata  have  been  divided  into  two 
orders,  the  Edentata  and  Effodientia;  the  Creodonta  and  Tillodontia 
are  recognized  as  full  orders,  and  the  Astrapotheroidea  and  Typo- 
theria  given  subordinal  rank  under  the  Ungulata.6  In  extinct  groups, 
Hay's  '  Bibliography  and  Catalogue  of  Fossil  Yertebrata  of  North 
America'  (1902),  Trouessart's  'Catalogus  Mammalium'  (1897-99),  and 
Zittel's  'Handbuch  der  Palreontologie '  (1892-93)  have  been  the 
guides.  In  the  Cete,  Beddard,  Gray,  and  True  have  been  consulted, 
and  in  the  Chiroptera  and  Insectivora,  Dobson's  classification  has  been 
followed  in  the  main.  The  arrangement  of  the  extinct  Edentates  is 
largely  that  of  Zittel,  with  modifications  from  recent  papers  of 
Ameghino.     The  classification  of  the  Glires  is  that  outlined  by  Thomas 

«See  Osborn,  Bull.  Am.  Mus.  Nat.  Hist.,  XVI,  203,  206,  1902. 

6  According  to  some  authors  the  groups  of  Ungulata  usually  treated  as  suborders 
are  entitled  to  ordinal  rank.  Thus  Scott  ( '  Introduction  to  Geology,'  p.  548,  1897) 
does  not  recognize  the  Ungulata,  hut  gives  the  Amblypoda,  Artiodactyla,  Condy- 
larthra,  Litopterna,  Perissodactyla,  Proboscidea,  Toxoaontia,  and  Typotheria  as  full 
orders.  It  is  more  convenient,  however,  for  present  purposes  to  consider  these 
groups  as  divisions  of  the  Ungulata  and  keep  them  together,  instead  of  having  them 
scattered  ^  as  would  he  the  case  under  the  alphabetical  arrangement. 


PAET    Hi:    INTRODUCTION".  779 

(Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  London,  1897),  and  the  arrangement  of  the  Marsu- 
pialia  is  that  of  the  same  author,  as  given  in  the  '  Catalogue  of  Marsupia- 
lia  of  the  British  Museum'  (1888),  with  a  few  necessary  modifications. 
In  the  extinct  families  Abderitidge,  Epanorthida?,  and  Garzonidre, 
the  recent  arrangement  of  Ameghino  has  been  followed  (Anal.  Mus. 
Nac.  Buenos  Aires,  IX,  p.  159,  1903).  In  the  case  of  the  Ungulata 
the  following  arrangements  have  been  adopted:  That  of  Sclater  and 
Thomas  for  the  Antelopes,  that  of  Lydekker  for  the  other  Bovidse 
and  the  Cervidas,  and  those  of  Osborn,  Matthew,  and  Earle  for  some  of 
the  extinct  groups  of  North  America. 

Under  this  treatment  it  will  be  interesting  to  note  the  number  of 
families  which  are  monotypic — that  is,  comprise  only  a  single  valid 
genus.  Seventeen  such  families  are  recognized  by  Trouessart/'  while 
18  are  here  recognized,  as  shown  in  the  following  list: 

Allotheria:  Marsupialia: 

Tritylodontidae.  Notoryctidse. 

Edentata:  Paurodontida?. 

Orophodontidse.  Monotreinata: 
Ferse:  Ornithorhynehidse.

NOMENCLATURE. 


In  the  designations  of  the  higher  groups  discrepancies  will  often  be 
noticed  upon  comparison  with  the  nomenclature  used  in  other  works 
of  reference.  The  name  of  the  class  Mammalia  is  one  of  the  few 
names  concerning  which  there  is  universal  agreement.  For  sub- 
classes two  sets  of  terms  are  in  common  use — Ornithodelphia,  Didel- 
phia,  and  Monodelphia  of  De  Blainville,  and  Prototheria,  Metatheria, 
and  Eutheria  of  later  authors,  which  are  given  preference  in  some 
recent  works.6     These  terms,  however,  are  not  properly  synonymous 

«  Trouessart  gives  the  Trichechida?,  Procaviida%  Pyrotherida-,  Pantolambdidse,  and 
Polymavtodontidas  in  addition  to  the  groups  above  mentioned,  but  unites  some  of  the 
remaining  families  with  other  groups,  or  places  additional  genera  under  them,  so  that 
they  are  not  monotypic. 

&  "  The  Eutheria  may  embrace  the  Meteutheria  or  Marsupials,  the  Meseutheria  or 
primitive  Mesozoic  Placentals,  the  Ceneutheria  or  Tertiary  Placentals."  (Osborn, 
Am.  Journ.  Sci.,  4th  ser.,  VII,  p.  93  footnote,  Feb.,  1899.)  The  last  two  groups 
were  previously  called  Mesoplacentalia  and  Cenoplacentalia  (Osborn,  Trans.  N.  Y. 
Acad.  Sci.,  XIII,  pp.  234-237,  June  4,  1804).

with  those  of  De  Blainville.  As  originally  proposed  by  Doctor  Gill,a 
the  Prototheria  included  the  monotremes  or  Ornithodelphia,  and  the 
Eutheria  the  marsupials  and  placentals  or  both  the  Didelphia  and 
Monodelphia.,  Gill  thus  used  Prototheria  and  Eutheria  as  subclasses, 
and  Ornithodelphia,  Didelphia,  and  Monodelphia  as  superorders,  an 
arrangement  which  has  been  recently  followed  by  Hay.  While  these 
names  do  not  appear  in  the  following  index,  they  are  here  given  with 
full  references  because  the}r  are  seldom  indexed  and  it  is  difficult  to 
find  where  they  were  first  proposed.     The  references  are  as  follows:

Similarly,  although  no  attempt  has  been  made  to  index  ordinal  or 
subordinal  names,  which  are  also  outside  the  scope  of  this  work,  ref- 
erences for  such  as  are  accorded  recognition  will  be  found  under  the 
names  themselves.  The  ordinal  names  Allotheria,  Cete,  Ferae,  and 
Glires  have  been  adopted  on  grounds  of  priority  instead  of  the  better 
known  terms  Multituberculata,  Cetacea,  Carnivora,  and  Rodentia. 
The  name  Bruta  of  Linnaeus  also  has  strong  claims  for  adoption  in  place 
of  the  much  later  Edentata,  and  it  has  been  recently  adopted  by  Hay.^ 
Edentata  is  here  used,  not  because  it  is  better  entitled  to  recognition, 
but  chiefly  because  under  the  alphabetical  arrangement  the  related 
families  of  Edentata  and  Effodientia  are  thus  brought  together  instead 
of  being  widely  separated,  as  would  be  the  case  if  the  former  groups 
were  entered  under  Bruta. 

In  family  names  the  designation  in  common  use  has  been  followed 
unless  some  good  reason  has  appeared  for  selecting  another  name,  as 
when  the  generic  name  on  which  the  family  name  is  based  is  antedated 
or  preoccupied  by  some  other  name.  When  a  choice  has  been  possi- 
ble the  earliest  published  family  name  has  been  used  in  preference  to 
the  name  based  on  the  first  described  genus,  unless  the  latter  happens 
to  be  in  common  use  (for  example,  Erethizontidse  instead  of  Coendidse), 
but  in  such  cases  attention  is  called  to  the  fact.     Under  the  arrange-

used  by  Huxley,  Prototheria,  Metatheria,  and  Eutheria  are  synonymous  with  De 
Blainville' s  earlier  names.

INDEX    GENERUM    MAMMALIUM. 


COMPARISONS. 

To  show  more  clearly  how  this  classification  differs  from  that  of  other 
recent  works,  comparisons  may  be  made  with  the  classifications  given 
in  Flower  and  Lydekker' s  'Mammals  Living-  and  Extinct,'  pp.  88-92, 
1891;  Trouessart's  'Catalogus  Mammalium,'  I,  pp.  v-vi;  II,  pp.  iii-v, 
1897-99,  and  Beddard\s  'Mammalia,'  pp.  ix-xii,  1902.  Briefly  stated, 
a  number  of  family  names  will  be  found  in  this  list  which  do  not  occur 
in  the  works  just  mentioned,  while  10  of  those  given  by  Flower  and 
Lydekker,  7  of  those  given,  by  Trouessart,  and  7  of  those  given  by 
Beddard  are  not  here  recognized.  In  all  cases,  however,  the  genera 
belonging  to  the  groups  in  question  will  be  f oimd  under  other  families. 
It  is  interesting  to  note  that  of  these  24  family  names,  which  form  12 
per  cent  of  the  total  number  recognized,  only  one  is  common  to  two  of 
the  works  of  reference  just  cited.  The  families  not  accorded  recog- 
nition are  as  follows:

Comparison  of  the  list  of  groups  under  Glires  with  Thomas'  '  Genera 
of  Rodents'  will  show  that  all  of  his  groups  have  been  given  recogni- 
tion, with  the  addition  of  the  Zapodidse  and  the  following  six  extinct 
families:  Castoroidida?,  Eocardidse,  Ischyromyida?,  Mixodectidse,  Pseu- 
dosciuridaj,  and  Theridomyida?.  The  Lophyominai  have  been  accorded 
full  family  rank,  the  name  Muscardinidas  has  been  substituted  for 
Gliridre,  and  in  the  Murida3,  Cricetina^  has  been  substituted  for  Sig- 
modontinaj  and  Myotalpinte  for  Siphneinaj. 

CROSS   REFERENCES. 


These   various   changes   are   indicated  by   cross   references.      Old 
family  names  which  are  not  recognized  are  entered  in  their  proper 


PART    Hi:     INTRODUCTION.  785 

places,  with  a  reference  in  each  case  to  the  name  adopted,  so  that  no 
confusion  need  be  caused  by  looking-  for  a  generic  name  under  eithei 
the  old  or  new  family  designation.  If,  however,  this  method  entails 
any  difficulty,  recourse  may  be  had  to  the  special  index  at  the  end  of 
Part  III. 

An  examination  of  the  list  of  generic  names  will  show  that  in  many 
cases  the  same  species  has  been  made  the  basis  of  several  genera. 
This  may  be  due  to  the  first  name  being  preoccupied  or  to  the  fact 
that  one  or  more  of  them  have  been  published  in  obscure  places  and 
consequently  overlooked  by  subsequent  workers.  Thus  Babirussa 
babyrussa,  Giraffa  giraffe  Hippopotamus  liberiensis,  and Microtus pine- 
torwin  have  each  formed  the  basis  of  W  generic  names;  Diorostonyx 
torquatim,  Fiber  zibethicus,  and  Tayassu  torquatus  of  5;  and  Galeo- 
pitheeus  volans,  HycbrodamaUs  gigas,  and  Simia  satyr us  of  6.  Three 
striking  examples  are  those  of  the  aye-aye  (Dcmbentonia  madagas- 
cariensis)  and  the  two-toed  anteater  ( Cyclopt  s  didactylus),  each  of  which 
has  received  seven  names;  and  the  chimpanzee  (Simla  troglodytes), 
which  has  received  no  less  than  nine:

Three  of  the  chimpanzee  names — Mhnetes,  Pongo,  and  Troglodytes — 
are  preoccupied,  and  several  of  the  others  are  scarcely  ever  cited,  even 
in  synonymy.  Anthropopithecus,  the  only  one  which  is  commonly 
used,  is  antedated  by  both  Pan  and  Theranthropus. 

An  attempt  has  been  made  to  call  attention  to  cases  of  this  kind  by 
cross  references.  Thus,  a  generic  name  that  is  preoccupied  is  marked 
with  a  dagger  (f)  and  followed  by  the  name  (in  parentheses)  distinctly 
proposed  to  replace  it  or  by  the  earliest  available  name  for  the  same 
genus.  If  several  names  have  been  proposed  for  the  same  species, 
cross  references  are  given  after  each  to  the  other  names  which  are 
earlier.  It  must  not  be  supposed,  however,  that  all  the  synonyms  are 
mentioned  in  this  way.  Critical  study  of  the  synonym}^  of  some  groups 
will  doubtless  bring  to  light  numerous  other  names  which  are  practi- 
cally identical,  but  cross  references  to  synonyms  of  this  kind  are 
beyond  the  scope  of  the  present  index.

Genera  and  subgenera  are  treated  alike,  and  entries  showing-  when 
subgenera  were  raised  to  full  generic  rank  have  been  omitted.  But 
families  and  subfamilies  have  been  carefully  distinguished,  and  when 
a  subfamily  has  been  raised  to  the  rank  of  a  full  family  both  names 
are  given.  Misprints,  emendations,  and  variants  in  generic  names  are 
included  only  when  they  have  a  diiferent  initial  letter  or  differ  radi- 
cally in  spelling.  If,  however,  the  original  form  of  either  a  family  or 
subfamily  name  differs  from  the  form  now  accepted  both  are  mentioned. 
This  may  necessitate  three  distinct  entries  (as  in  the  case  of  Natalinia, 
1866;  Natalinse,  1892;  and  Natalida3,  1899),  but  giving  all  the  impor- 
tant forms  facilities  tracing  the  history  of  the  name.  Later  refer- 
ences are  in  all  cases  indented.

"Allother'xi  was  proposed  by  Marsh  in  September,  1880  (Am.  Journ.  Sci.  and  Arts, 
3d  ser.,  XX,  p.  239).  The  later  term  MutiUuberculata,  which  has  come  into  more 
general  use,  was  proposed  by  Cope  in  July,  1884  (Am.  Naturalist,  XVIII,  p.  687). 

In  the  latest  revision  of  the  group  (Ameghino,  Anales  Mus.  Nac.  Buenos  Aires, 
IX,  p.  158,  1903),  five  families  are  recognized — Plagiaulacidse,  Polydolopida?,  Neopla- 
giaulacidse,  Promysopidae,  and  Polymastodontidse.  Of  these  the  first  two  are  here 
recognized,  the  Neoplagiaulacidae  and  Polymastodontidse  are  combined  with  the 
Plagiaulacidse,  and  the  genera  included  under  Promysopidae  arc  placed  in  '  Incerta?

recognized  as  a  distinct  family. 

b  Stereognathidse  should  be  used  for  this  family  both  on  account  of  earlier  publi- 
cation as  a  family  name  and  because  it  is  based  on  the  earliest  generic  name.

APPENDIX. 


During-  the  progress  of  the  work  through  the  press  some  additional 
names  and  notes  have  been  found  too  late  to  insert  in  their  proper 
places  in  Part  I,  although  they  have  been  incorporated  in  Part  III. 
The  new  names  are  here  brought  together  under  the  heading  'Addi- 
tions,'and  the  miscellaneous  notes  under  the  heading 'Corrections.' 
With  this  appendix  the  Index  is  brought  down  to  January  1,  1904.

Lapsus.  The  name  is  accompanied  merely  by  the  statement  "  a  genus  of  ceta- 
ceans," and  occurs  without  description  or  mention  of  species  under  the  defini- 
tion of  Coryphaena,  a  genus  of  Pisces.  Evidently  an  error,  as  no  such  name  has 
been  used  elsewhere  for  a  cetacean.

*  The  proper  name  for  this  family  is  Callitrichidte,  but  the  change  having  been  pub- 
lished too  late  to  make  the  necessary  corrections  under  the  other  generic  names 
Hapalidre  is  here  used.  In  Part  III,  however  (pp.  890-891),  all  the  names  will  be 
found  under  Callitrichidse.

Dr.  Coues  has  proposed  several  terms  to  indicate  whether  or  not  a  name  was 

based  on  a  type  specimen  and  also  the  manner  in  which  it  was  published. 

These  terms  deserve  mention  in  this  connection,  although  they  have  not  come 

into  general  use: 

Anonym:  "A  mere  name;  a  '  nomen  nudum; '  a  name  resting  upon  no  diagnosis,

"  'Mandrill '  seems  to  signify  a  '  man-like  Ape,'  the  word  '  Drill '  or  '  Dril'  hav-

famille  des  Lemurides  (Lemuridx) ,  des  Psittacines  (Psittaeinx)  comme  d'une
