Non 3. SYSTEMATIC RESULTS OF THE STUDY
OF NORTH AMERICAN LAND MAMMALS
DURING THE YEARS 1901 AND 1902.

BY GERRIT S. MILLER, JR., AND JAMES A. G. REHN.

Proaress in the study of the North American mammal fauna !
has been exceptionally rapid during the years 1901 and 1902. So
great an advance in this field has probably never before been made
in a like period, even during the remarkable activity of the preceding
twelve years. Since 1900 there has been published the first general
work on North American mammals subsequent to that of Baird;
many changes in nomenclature have been found necessary, and the
elaboration of material has resulted in the discovery of over 300
forms unknown two years ago.

To present a summary of this work, much of which has been
issued in short special articles, is the object of this paper. So far
as possible all personal opinion is excluded, and the facts are stated
with no other end in view than that of history. While this method
entails occasional difficulties and apparent inconsistencies, it is
undoubtedly preferable to any attempt at a critical treatment of the
subject that could now be made.

A word of explanation in regard to the form adopted. The
entries are made in the order followed in our Systematic results of
the study of North American land mammals to the close of the
year 1900 (Proc. Boston soc. nat. hist., vol. 30, p. 1-852, Decem-
ber 27, 1901). All names recorded there and rejected during the
years 1901 and 1902 are printed in italics, followed, except in case
of elimination, by the current name. This is in heavy faced type.
Additions are entered in the same type as other accepted names,
but are numbered.? The system of citation is the same as that in the
earlier paper, but duplication of references there published is as far
as possible avoided. The members of genera revised since 1900 are

1 As more natural than the Panama Railroad, the boundary between Panama
and Cauca is here adopted as the southern limit of this fauna.

* Among these are included three, Odocoileus virgultis, Proechimys centraiis
panamensis, and Ochotona minimus inadvertently omitted from the original
paper.

entered in the order adopted by the reviser ; elsewhere alphabetic
sequence has been followed. Except in the case of definitely
revised genera, where the author’s results are given entire, no
attempt is made to record mere changes from binomial to trinomial
and the opposite, which involve no actual alteration of names. To
the list of additions and changes is appended an annotated bibliog-
raphy of the papers in which these were made.

The North American species of Didelphis were revised by Allen
in 1901 (Bull. Amer. mus. nat. hist., x1v, p. 149-188, June 15, 1901),
but so many additions and changes have since been made that the
forms now recognized are here entered alphabetically.

Didelphis aurita Wied, p. 7,) proves to be confined to south-
ern Brazil and neighboring regions (Allen, Bull. Amer. mus. nat.

Genus Mephitis Cuvier, p. 212. It has been shown by Howell
(North Amer, fauna, no. 20, p. 14-15, August 31, 1901, and
Proce. biol. soc. Washington, xv, p. 1-9, February 18, 1902), that in

place to:
Genus CHINCHA Lesson.

1842. Chincha Lesson, Nouv. tabl. régne anim., mamm.,
p- 67. Type— Chincha americana Lesson = Viverra

mended by Allen, Howell, and others (Science, n. s., xvi, p. 114—

clature, would, if adopted, result in the retention of the name
Mephitis as commonly used prior to 1901.

Regards the renaming of Alces (Allen, Bull. Amer. mus. nat. hist., xv1,
p. 159, July 1, 1902) as unnecessary, but would restrict the application of
the ‘“one-letter rule” to generic names. The name Dama not valid for
the Virginia deer. Nyctimene Bechstein antedates Cephalotes Geoffroy.
