PREFACE.

The present List contains all the named forms of North Ameri-
can mammals on land or in the adjacent seas described up to this
date, that, under the most lenient treatment, are entitled to any con-
sideration. The various forms that were included in the Appendix
to the "Synopsis of North American Mammals" have been placed in
their proper positions.

Five species that were omitted from that work, and such forms
as have been named since it passed through the press, have been
added with their descriptions, and will be found under their respec-
tive genera.

A few changes in genera and species, affected by the rule of
priority, have been made, and typographical errors in names, which,
in spite of every care have appeared in the "Synopsis," have been
corrected, and the spelling in this List should be adopted whenever
differing from that in the book just mentioned. This publication,
therefore, may serve as a Check List of our Mammals, as a guide for
labeling specimens, and as a Supplement to the " Synopsis," to be
bound with it, and bringing it to date.

The pagination given is that of the " Synopsis."

Especial thanks are due to Dr. F. W. True of the U. S. Nat.
Museum, Washington, for photographs of the skulls of Kogia brevi-
ceps and Berardius bairdi in the National collection, from which the
plates accompanying this publication were taken.

tSee Palmer, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 1897, p. 174.

Mr. Witmer Stone has called my attention to the fact that this generic term' was published
by Blumenbach in the Handbuch der Naturgeschichte, GOttingen, in 1799, p. 73, four years pre-
vious to the edition quoted by Dr. Palmer, thus taking precedence by many years over any generic
term proposed for the nine-banded Armadillo. Novemcinctus is the only species included in
Tatu, and therefore represents the genus.

"Teeth of the upper jaw absent, or reduced to a rudimentary
pair in front; in the lower jaw 9 to 12 on each side, rather long,
slender, pointed and curved, with a coating of enamel. Upper sur-
face of cranium concave, with thick, raised posterior and lateral mar-
gins, massive and rounded at their anterior terminations above the
orbits. Upper edge of the methesmoid forming a prominent sinuous
ridge, constituting a kind of longitudinal septum to the base of the
great supra-cranial cavity. Rostrum not longer than the cranial por-
tion of the skull, broad at the base, and rapidly tapering to the apex.
Vertebrae: C. 7, D. 13 or 14, L. and C. 30; total, 50 or 51. All the
cervical vertebrae united by their bodies and arches." (Flower.)

Type locality. Cape of Good Hope.

Geogr. Distr. Indian and Pacific Oceans, coast of southern Cali-
fornia and Atlantic coast of North America.

Genl. Char. Blainville's description of a skull of this species in
the Paris Museum, from an individual taken at the Cape of Good
Hope, translated is as follows: " Skull extremely wide and greatly
elevated, having the frontal crests very high and consequently the
nasal cavities very deep, something like those of the Cachelots, and
terminate abruptly by the very short and pointed maxillaries, there-
fore the total length is barely an inch greater than the occipital length.
The lower jaw has necessarily two branches approaching each other
evenly, like a bellows, and have a considerable symphysis, with a
narrow extremity, but rounded termination. It is nearly certain that
there are no teeth in the upper jaw, but the lower has 14 or 15 on
each side, all of which are not in place, 5 only on the left side and
4 on the right remain still in their alveoli; some have been re-
placed by others; they are narrow, slender, conical, pointed, slightly
curved interiorly, and 6 to 8 lines in length. Length of lower jaw,
13 inches; distance between condyles, 12 inches. Length of skull,
14^ inches. Another peculiarity of the skull is the inequality of the
nasal cavities, the right being in nearly a rudimentary condition, and
some twenty times smaller than the other."

P- 77-

Type locality. Bering Island.

Genl. Char. "The tip of the beak is obtuse, with a vertical
furrow in the middle, the lower jaw with the two terminal teeth pro-
truding considerably beyond the upper one. From about the middle
of the beak towards the tip, the mesethmoidal, ossified in its whole
length, arises, like a rounded staff, between and above the premax-
illaries, following these to the tip and being totally fused together
with them. The nasal groove is very unsymmetrical, owing to a
very prominent asymmetry of the premaxillaries and the nasals, so
that the direction of the oblique nares forms an angle of not less than
20 degrees with the vertical plane through the longitudinal axis of the
skull. The right os nasale and the premaxilla of the same side are
by far the larger ones, and form the principal part of the roof above
the nares, the nasal not reaching, however, so far forward as the pre-
maxilla. The ante-nasal groove is large, and in the anterior half
partly vaulted over by the edges of the premaxillaries, which are
somewhat bent inwards. The zygomatic process of the squamosals
touches the orbital of the frontals without coalescing however. The
jugale is not narrower in the fore part, which, consequently, is not
dilated and does not reach the posterior maxillary notch. This is
not particularly deep, and the anterior one is still more shallow. The
visible part of the vomer is long and narrow, commencing 124 mm.
from the tip of the beak. The supraoccipital is rather inclined for-
wards, forming an angle of about 40 degrees, with a line parallel to
the vertical axis of the skull."

Measurements. " Length of the skull in straight line, 983; great-
est breadth, 600; length of beak from anterior maxillary notch to tip,
485; length of right nasal, 135; of left nasal, 128; length of lower
jaw, 845; length of symphysis, 180; longitudinal diameter of tooth
at base, 26; height of tooth, 36." (Stejneger, 1. c.)

Genl. Char. Skull only preserved. "Very low and scarcely in-
curved maxillary crests; the shortest distance of which is 223 times
greater than their greatest height. * * * The groove between
the maxillary and the nuchal crest is very shallow. The maxillary
notch is deep. The beak is long, making only little less than half
the length of the entire skull. Nares straight; right nasal larger than
the left one, but not very much. The occipital condyles do not come
in contact beneath the foramen magnum; the symphysis of the lower
jaw is very short, amounting to only one-fifth of the whole length of
the jaw. Teeth are situated on the tip of the lower jaw."

Measurements. "Length of skull, 1405; greatest breadth, 698;
length from process of supramaxillaries before orbit to posterior edge
of condyles, 610; from same process to tip of beak, 890; greatest
height of maxillary crests, 86; length of lower jaw, 1292; length of

* As there is no positive date known for Shaw's plate (610) of the Mountain Sheep, that of 1803
being established purely upon the supposed hypothesis that the work appeared at uniformly
regular intervals throughout the twenty-four years of its publication (and of which there is no proof
whatever), there should be no hesitation in accepting Desmarest's name O. cervina for the species,
bestowed without question in 1804, of which Shaw's name O. canadcnsis would be a synonym. A
date that is well established should always have precedence over one founded merely upon a sup-
position.

Genl. Char. "Size large; skull and horns broad and massive;
molar teeth much larger than in any known American sheep, the
upper tooth row in adult males measuring 96 mm. or more, and the
three upper molars 63-65 mm. Under jaw (in type specimen) mas-
sive, heavy posteriorly, deeply bellied (depth under last molar
52 mm.); angle broadly rounded. In canadensis (cervina), the jaw
is light throughout and the angle, while small, is marked. Horns
narrower, and as a rule larger than in canadensis (cervina)."* (Merr. ,

Type locality. East Greenland.

Geogr. Distr. " Southern border of Ellesmere Land northward
through Grinnell Land to the Polar Sea, and on the Greenland coast
from about latitude 78° on the western side northward to and around
the northern end of Greenland to about latitude 75° N. on the east
coast." (Allen.)

Genl. Char. Basal portion of horns narrow. White on face and
top of head, and lighter legs.

Color. Similar to O. moschatus, but with a white area on the
front of the head forming a face spot; ear and patch below the ears
gray; between the ears on top of head whitish; saddle mark of light
brown; rest of body dark brown.

(Adult bulls have the head and neck almost jet black ; visible portion
of legs whitish, but sometimes marked with dark brown. The white
on head seems very variable, for out of seven specimens supposed to
be of this variety in the Field Columbian Museum, none have any
white on the face except the old cow. The old bull has no white at
all upon the head, and the next bull, one in his prime, has a jet
black head and neck, with but a little white about the horn bases;

* Relative sizes of molar teeth and parts of crania are properly classed in the majority of
cases, with those differences resulting simply from individual variation, and it would seem unlikely
that the Dakotas and Montana, contiguous States, would each contain a distinct variety of moun-
tain sheep. The greater depth and massiveness of lower jaw is apparently restricted to the
type specimen.

* The name amertcanus, Kerr, retained in the Synopsis, having been bestowed by that
author on an undeterminable species four pages earlier in his work, cannot be again employed,
although his Mus agrarius americanus is undoubtedly the same as P. leucopus, Rafin. (See Allen,
Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., N. Y.. 1895, p. 108. Foot-note.) P. leucopus will therefore be the
proper appellation for the white-footed mouse, nee americanus, Kerr.

* Three genera have been employed for the Walrus: Rosmarus, applied to it in the sixteenth
century by Gcsner, &c.; Odobaenus, Linnaeus in 1735, and Trichechus, Linnaeus in 1766. For
those who take the I2th edition of the Systema Naturae as the starting point, there is no difficulty
about a selection, for Trichechus is made to include both Walrus and Manatees, and as Manitus
was taken lor a genus ol Sirenians, Trichechus naturally becomes the term for the Walrus. It is
those who reject Linnaeus' more matured and completed edition of 1776, and select that of 1758 for
their starting point, that trouble begins, and they are obliged to search for a generic term. In the
loth edition Trichechus includes the Manatees, and the Walrus is placed among the seals in Phoca.
The edition of 1735 offers Odobaenus, passing over, however, to reach it, Rosmarus, employed for
the Walrus, as stated, in the sixteenth century, and used generically by Klein in 1751, and Scopoli
in 1777. Authors have at various times employed all of these terms, and there has been much dis-
cussion as to which should be preferred, but no agreement has been reached, and there is not likely
to be any until it is finally decided and accepted generally which edition of Linnaeus shall be the
starting point, and how many years previous to that shall genera be recognized, and what authors
shall be authorities for them. At present it would seem that the advocates for the i2th edition
have the best of the argument, for there appears no doubt as to their genus for the Walrus. Mana-
tus having been eliminated, aud as it may be said that probably the majority of Naturalists still
employ Trichechus, it would seem more advisable to continue that term, the one finally adopted
by Linnaeus himself, and also the one most familiar to all, than to select either of the others with
their contested claims.
