TuHE following list of families of Mammals, with analytical tables, has
been prepared by Dr. THEODORE GILL, at the request of the Smithsonian
Institution, to serve as a basis for the arrangement of the collection of
Mammals in the National Museum; and as frequent applications for such
a list have been received by the Institution, it has been thought advisable
to publish it for more extended use. In provisionally adopting this
system for the purpose mentioned, the Institution, in accordance with its
custom, disclaims all responsibility for any of the hypothetical views upon
which it may be based.

LIST OF AUTHORS REFERRED TO.

The following enumeration of works is chiefly intended to explain the abbrevia-
tions used in connection with the preceding list of families: the works most
accessible to students generally have been used, whenever they could be referred
to in explanation of the limits of families adopted ; special monographs have been
chiefly referred to when the groups in connection with which they are cited have
not been limited in the same manner in general works. The ‘“ Ostéographie’’ of
de Blainville, although not actually referred to in connection with any special
family, is so indispensable to any investigator of the mammals, and has been so
much used by the writer, that the title thereof and an analysis of its contents have
been given; the analysis and assignment of dates of publication of the several
monographs will doubtless prove useful, and save to some time and labor like that
necessarily devolved upon the writer in ascertaining the data furnished.

For the information of students, and because it is information often desired, the
publishers’ prices of most of the works cited are given, in the currency of the
country where they were published. Many of the separate monographs reprinted
from journals can be obtained from the second-hand book dealers—espcecially the
German—and from the Naturalists’ Agency of Salem, Mass., but at varying prices.

In order to secure uniformity of typography, only the initial letters of the charac-
teristic words are capital, the example of the learned brothers Grimm, as well as
‘other German writers, sanctioning such usage for their language. The initial
letters, however, of the more important words of the general titles, and to which
reference is made in the list, are capitalized, corresponding with and rendering at
once intelligible the abbreviated references. The punctuation of the respective
title-pages is adopted. The symbol (<) denotes that the memoir after which it is
inserted is contained in the volume or series whose title follows; the symbol of
equality (=) denotes that the memoir is co-extensive with the volume.

tions of the North Pacific species, by J. A. Allen. Together with an account

liére et fils ---. 1839-1864. [Text, 4to., 4v.; Atlas, fol., 4v.]

[Published in twenty-six fascicules ; the first twenty-five under the title:
‘*Ostéographie ; ou, description iconographique comparée du squelette et du
systeme dentaire des cing classes d’animaux vertébrés récents et fossiles, pour
servir de base a la zoologie et a la géologie par M. H. M. Ducrotay de Blain-
ville ---+. Ouvrage accompagné de planches lithographiées sous sa direction
par M. J. C. Werner ---. Paris, Arthus Bertrand, ---.’ [1S39-1855.]
The twenty-sixth and last fascicule was issued with the speczal title above
given, titles for the four volumes of text and four of plates, table of contents
and index, by the Bailliéres in 1864. The subscription price was 2 frances 35
centimes per plate; the price of the twenty-sixth livraison, 45 franes; and of
the whole, on completion, 800 francs, ‘‘ au lieu de 961 fr.”

The culpable neglect of the publishers to give the dates of publication of the
several fascicules has doubtless devolved upon many investigators, as upon the
writer, much trouble and annoyance in ascertaining them, and to save to
others similar trouble, a collation is here presented, the dates having chiefly
been ascertained from Wagner’s annual reports in the ‘* Archiv fiir Natur-
geschichte.”” The appearance of successive fascicules has not been noticed in
the ‘‘ Bibliographie de la France.”’

The titles of the respective monographs given below are those at the upper
fourth of the first page of each monograph, and which are the only special
titles published.

The work is more remarkable as a methodical repertcry of facts respecting
superficial osteological details, than as a digest exhibiting acute appreciation of
the value and subordination of characters and their taxonomical application.
or orthodox views respecting Classification and the geological succession of

ee

animals—the concurrent views of the most recent and approved investigators
being the standard. The ‘‘genera,’’ it must be remembered, are generally
about equal in extent to the families now generally adopted. ]

MAMMALS.

Abranchiate Vertebrates with a brain whose cerebral hemispheres are more or less
connected (and in nearly inverse ratio) by an anterior commissure, and a superior
transverse commissure (corpus callosum) ; the latter more or less roofing in the lateral
ventricles: lungs and heart in the thorax, separated from the abdominal viscera
by a muscular diaphragm: aorta single and reflected over the left bronchus: blood
with red non-nucleated blood-corpuscles ; undergoing a complete circulation, being
entirely received and transmitted by the right half of the quadrilocular heart to the
lungs for aeration, (and warmed,) and afterwards returned by the other half through
the system. Skull with two condyles, chiefly developed on the exoccipital elements,
(one on each side of the foramen magnum): with the malleus and incus superadded as
specialized auditory ossicles: and the lower jaw (composed of a pair of simple rami)
articulated directly by convex condyles with the squamosal bones. Dermal append-
ages developed as-hairs. Viviparous: foetus developed from a minute egg: young
nourished after birth by a fluid (milk) secreted in peculiar glands (mammary) by
the mother.

SUB-CLASSES.

I. Brain with superior transverse commissure composed of a body as well as
psalterial fibres; and with a well developed septum. Sternum with
no element in front of the manubrium or presternum. Coracoid not con-
nected with the sternum, but early anchylosed with and developed as a
simple process of the scapula. Oviducts debouching into a double or single
vagina, (and not into a common cloacal chamber). Testes variable in po-
sition, but the vasa deferentia open directly or indirectly into a distinct
and complete urethra, (and not into a cloacal cavity). Ureters discharge
directly into the bladder the renal secretion, which thence passes into the
urethra. Mammary glands with well developed nipples.

A. Brain with the cerebral hemispheres connected by a more or less well-
developed corpus callosum and a reduced anterior commissure. Vagina
a single tube, but sometimes with a partial septum. Young retained
within the womb till of considerable size and nearly perfect development,
and deriving its nourishment from the mother through the intervention
of a “‘placenta’’? (developed from the allantois) till birth. Scrotum

never in front of penis. MONODELPHIA. (I.)

B. Brain with the cerebral hemispheres chiefly connected by a well-de-
veloped anterior commissure, the corpus callosum being rudimentary.

Vagina more or less completely dividing into two Separate passages.
Young born when of very small size and imperfect development; never
connected by a placenta with the mother, but when born attached by
her to the nipple, from which the milk is forced by herself into the
mouth of the young. Scrotum in front of penis.

DIDELPHIA. (II.)

II. Brain with the superior transverse commissure with no well defined
psalterial fibres ; and with the septum very much reduced in Size. (Flower).
Sternum with a peculiar T-shaped bone (the episternum or interclavicle)
in advance of the manubrium or presternum. Coracoid extending from
the clavicle to the sternum, and only towards maturity anchylosed with
the scapula. The oviducts, enlarged below into uterine pouches, but open-
ing separately from one another, as in Oviparous vertebrates, debouch,
not into a distinct vagina, but into a cloacal chamber, common to the
urinary and genital products, and to the feces. Testes abdominal in posi-
tion throughout life, and the vasa deferentia open into the cloaca, and not
into a distinct urethral passage. Ureters pour the renal secretion, not
into the bladder, which is connected with the upper extremity of the cloaca,
but into the latter cavity itself, Mammary glands with no distinct nip-

fey” ORNITHODELPHIA. (III.)

I. MONODELPHIA
ORDERS. :

I. Brain with a relatively large cerebrum, behind overlapping much or all
of the cerebellum, and in front much or all of the olfactory lobes: corpus
callosum (attypically) continued horizontally backwards to or beyond
the vertical of the hippocampal sulcus, developing in front a well-defined

recurved rostrum.
SUPER-ORDER EDUCABILIA.,

A. Posterior members and pelvis well developed. Periotic and tympanic
bones articulated with the squamosal ; (etypically, free and otherwise
modified, e. g. Lapiridae),

1. Legs almost or entire] exserted ‘outside of the common abdominal
§ vi

integument. First digit (great toe) of hind foot (pes) enlarged, op-
posable to the others, (exceptionally resuming parallelism with them,)
furnished with a nail. Brain with a well-developed calearine sulcus,
giving rise toa hippocampus minor within the posterior cornu of the
ventricle by which the posterior lobe of the cerebrum is traversed.
(Flower.) (Incisors fourin each jaw; etypically, two—or all in upper
jaw—suppressed. Clavicles completely developed.)

~ atl

ae i wr

47

a. Digits with corneous appendages developed as claws (i. e. com-

pressed) or, attypically, as nails (i. e. depressed). Teeth of three
kinds, (canines of second set etypically atrophied,) all encased
in enamel ; (molars mostly two- or three-rooted). Placenta decidu-
ate, discoidal.

PRIMATES.

2. Legs with the proximal joints (humerus and femur) more or less
inclosed in the common abdominal integument. First digit of hind
foot attypically reduced or atrophied ; etypically hypertrophied (e. g.
Pinnipedia). Brain with no calearine sulcus. (Incisors archetypically
six in each jaw; etypically, two or more suppressed. Clavicles
rudimentary, or—in (b) Ungulate Series—none.)

a. Digits with corneous appendages developed as claws. Teeth of

three kinds, all encased with enamel: canines specialized and
robust: (molars mostly two- or three-rooted—etypicaliy one-root-
ed,—attypically one (=) or more in each jaw sectorial, followed
by tubercular ones.) Scaphoid and lunar consolidated into one bone.

Placenta deciduate, zonary.
FERAE.

b. Digits with corneous appendages developed as hoofs. Teeth of

three, kinds, (canines and incisors of second set exceptionally in
part undeveloped,) all encased in enamel: (molars attypically two- or
three-rooted, attypically with grinding surfaces.) Scaphoid and
lunar separate. Placenta diversiform.

b. 1. Incisors (archetypically *; often, especially in the upper jaw,
reduced in number or wholly suppressed; implanted by simple
roots,) with incisorial crowns. Feet with inferior (or, rather, pos-
terior) surfaces with a hairy skin continuous with the rest of the
integument: carpal bones in two interlocking rows; cuneiform
narrow and affording a diminished surface of attachment forwards
for the ulna (which is retrorse beside the radius); unciform and
lunar articulating with each other and interposed between the
cuneiform and magnum: hind foot with the astragalus at its an-
terior portion scarcely deflected inwards, articulating more or less
with the cuboid as well as navicular: toes (not more than four
completely developed) with terminal joints encased in thick
hoofs. Placenta non-deciduate, (diffuse or cotyledonary).

UNGULATA.

b. 2. Incisors (% or 4; variable as to insertion,) with incisorial
crowns. Feet mostly unknown: carpal bones unknown: hind
foot with the astragalus at its anterior portion inclined obliquely
inwards, articulating in front only withthe navicular. Calcaneum
with an extensive upwards surface for the articulation of the

fibula, and with a large lateral process articulating in front with

SUB-ORDERS. |

I. Intermaxillaries expanded forwards, normally interposed between the |
maxillaries, and forming the terminal as well as anterior portion of the
lateral margin of the upper jaw. Nasal apertures produced more or less
forwards, and with the nasal bones freely projecting. Teeth of the inter-
maxillaries apparently in normal number (34-3), conic; of the maxillaries,

2- or 3-rooted.

II. Intermaxillaries narrowed forwards, forming only the point of the upper
jaw, and underlaid by the maxillaries, which form the entire lateral alve-
olar margins of the jaw. Nasal apertures far back, near the vertex, and
with the nasal bones appressed. Teeth (when present) all single-rooted.

A. Teeth more or less persistent after birth. Upper jaw without baleen.
Supramaxillary expanded backwards over the frontal bones, but not
produced outwards in front of the orbits. Rami of lower jaw united by
