U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, 
Washington, D. C., July 5, 1902. 

Str: 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; (2) 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 1884, 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 Mrrriam, 
Chief, Biological Survey. 

Hon. JAMES WILson, 

Secretary of Agriculture.

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 ‘Systema Nature’ 
of Linnzus, 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 
1,840 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 
inereased 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, Megalonyz, 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 steadily 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 Lacépéde, 
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, 1842-46; Bronn's ‘ Index Paleontologicus,’ 1848; Mar- 
schall’s * Nomenclator Zoologicus, 1873; Scudder’s * Nomenclator 
Zoologicus, ^ 1882; Trouessart’s ‘Catalogus 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, (3) 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, 


“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. 


10 INDEX GENERUM MAMMALIUM. 


(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 fariilies, 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 
1884 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, 1889, 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 1891 the number of genera 
verified was about 375; on January 1, 1893, it had increased to about 
650; on January 1, 1894, to 2,045; on January 1, 1895, to about 3,300; 
on January 1, 1896, to 3,850; on January 1, 1897, to 3,900; on Janu- 
ary 1, 1898, 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

names except in case of preoccupation. Such information must be sought in special 
monographs or works like Trouessart’s ‘Catalogus 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. it 


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 1889. 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 once 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 verified. Beside 77 new names and 
104 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 
verified 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 4,500 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 accuracy is unattainable, owing to 
the variety of ways in which genera have been proposed and the diver- 
sity of views held by leading systematists 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 ‘type’ 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 ‘type 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 Palzontolo- 
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, which, 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 may be mentioned Trouessart’s ‘Catalogus 
Mammalium,' Roger's ‘ Verzeichniss der Fossilen Saiigethiere,’ Miller 
& Rehn’s ‘ List of North American Land Mammals,’ 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 Allen’s 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 paleontological papers of Ame- 
gbino, Hatcher, Matthew, Osborn, Roth, Scott, and Wortman.

REFERENCES. 


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 Arwicola, [somys, and 
Ochetodon, while priority of only three days resulted in the adoption 
of Matschie’s Zenkerella in place of De Winton’s Aethurus, in 1898. 
Hipposideros Gray is sometimes quoted 1834 (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lon- 
don, p. 53), where it is à 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- 
oceupied by a genus of Lepidoptera (1806) and by a genus of Polyps 
(1808). It is, however, said to have been described in 1804, and should 
this prove to be a fact the name would supplant Zaurotragus, 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 Linnzsus: In the tenth edition, 1758, Mans 
contains only one species, M. pentadactyla, which is necessarily the 
type; in the twelfth edition, 1766, two species are given, J/. 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 
generie names may be found in almost any book of reference, some of 


* À few years ago Oldfield Thomas, supposing that Cuvier's well-known genus 
Cricetus dated from the ‘Régne Animal,’ 1817, proposed to replace it by Hamster 
Lacépéde, 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 together 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 publie 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 publie library.”? Although 
it is a general rule that the date of publication 1s 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’

A LIST OF THE GENERA AND FAMILIES OF MAMMALS. 105, 


‘Zoologia Rosso-Asiatica, quoted by some authors as 1811 and by 
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 
vearslater. 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- 
tainine 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. 
These papers are as follows:

AUTHORITIES AND LOCALITIES. 
AUTHORITIES. 


Special care has been taken to eredit 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, Zonatza is quoted as ‘ Gray in Griffith’s Cuvier’ for the 
reason that the name, while published by Griffith, is distinctly cred- 
ited to Gray; Blainvillimys 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 Pictet’s * Traité de Paléontologie’ 
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 ‘ Aolus (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 ty pe 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 eiven 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 be 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.

2c . INDEX GENERUM MAMMALIUM. 


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 Amblysomus Pomel, 1848, and Chalco- 
chloris?* 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 Amdblysomus 
until 1879? and none with Chalcochloris until 1883. 

The term type^ as now understood was unknown a century ago, and 
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 1s engaged in monographing the group or who is 
thoroughly familiar with the history of the species involved. 

As Dr. Dall has well said, ** No arbitrary rule will suffice to deter- 
mine, offhand, questions of so much complication as is often the 
decision in regard to the type 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 
AO. UW. Code) 


«Originally spelled Calcochloris.

€ 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: 

Cotype: ‘‘ One of two or more specimens together forming the basis of a species, no 
type having been selected.’’ 

Paratype: **À specimen belonging to the original series, but not the type, in cases 
where the author has himself selected a type." 

Topotype: **À 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 GENERA AND FAMILIES OF MAMMALS. 21 


The first two methods date back to the ‘Stricklandian Code’ of 1842, 
known also as the ‘ Rules of the British Association.’ 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 Linnean genera, some 
of which seem to have their types concealed in the middle of a lst of 
species. Thus the type of Mustela would become JM. /utris, the sea 
otter; of Mus, M. porcellus, the guinea pig; and of Cervus, C. camelo- 
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- 
ean 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-Linnean 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 X XIII 
of the A. O. U. Code (p. 48). ‘If, however, the genus contains both 
exotic and non-exotic specles—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 1s 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 type is designated explicitly or 
otherwise; (3) in the case of Linnean 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 has 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 Linnzus 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;^ those proposed by Gloger have been fixed by 
Thomas;^ those of marsupials and monotremes have also been given 
by Thomas;^ those of antelopes by Sclater and Thomas;^ those of 
existing genera of South African mammals by W. L. Selater;/ those 
of recent North American genera by Merriam, Allen, Miller, Bangs, 
and Bailey; those of most of the extinct genera by O. P. Hay;% 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 genera’ 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 Ameghino. "These 
genera have been proposed to fill gaps in certain groups or to indicate 
the generalized types from which known genera are supposed to have 
been derived. Several were intended to close the gap between man 
and the higher apes; others to indicate ancestral Primates, Carnivores,

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." ^ 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

names, see also Gill, Proc. Am. Ass. Adv. Sci., XLV, 1896, sep., pp. 9-10; Sclater,

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.^ 
Consequently emendations of all kinds are ignored except by the com- 
, paratively few authors, who refuse to adopt a name which they con- 
sider misspelled, even though they 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 
every 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 fork.  Agocerus has been corrected to 
igocerus; Ailurus, to _dlurus, Aplocerus, to Haplocerus; Reithrodon, 
to Rhithrodon,; Rytina, to Rhytina; Kobus, to Cobus; Nesokia, to 
Nesocia. Greek endings and diphthongs are similarly modified to 
convert them into Latin form. //ipposideros becomes Hipposiderus; 
Cheiromys, Chiromys; Pithecheir, Pithechirus or Pithecochirus. Pre- 
ferences in spelling are illustrated by such alterations as A//actaga to 
Alactaga, and Fatelus to Fatellus. Still more radical changes have 
been proposed, such as emending Aodon to Anodon, Megacerops to 
Megaceratops, and Megatherium to Megalotherium. It has even been 
suggested that Celogenys should be transformed into Genyscalus, on 
the ground that the Latin form Celogenus 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

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 syllable of 
the class name. Thusall generic names of mammals would begin with 
Mam, those of birds with Ave, those of reptiles with Zep, those of 
batrachians with Gatr, and those of fishes with Ps. For full details 
of this scheme of nomenclature the reader is referred to Herrera's 
papers. The only modifications of mammal names published in the 
first paper are those in the following list: 


4 Beside these emendations, an almost indefinite number of anagrams can be formed 
from the original word Aplodontia.

MISPRINTS. 


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 Buncelunus for Bunexlurus), but exceedingly troublesome 
(as Cheropotamus for Cheropsis),“ since they seem to be new names or 
take forms which may be subsequently proposed for valid genera. 
Such are Cystophoca for Cystophora, Desmatocyon" for Cynodesmus, 
Lotomys for Evotomys, Hyohippus for [lypohippus, Jacalius for Saca- 
lius, Juncus for Sunkus, Lagocetus for Lagenocetus, Microtolagus for 
Macrotolagus, 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 preoccupiéd 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 Zhynnus 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 Zhynnus 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-

» Possibly an emendation and not a misprint. 


A LIST OF THE GENERA AND FAMILIES OF MAMMALS. 27 


ing Orycnus Gill (instead of Zhynnus) for one and Orcynus for the 
other. In 1894 Gill showed that Zhunnus of South, 1845, antedated 
Orycnus, and this name has been adopted by Jordan and Evermann.^ 

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 Zhunnus 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. 7'hunnus 
being the regular one and preferred by many scholars to T'hynnus. 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. 4 


Similar cases have occurred in the generic names of mammals. 
Recently Waite in proposing the name Zhylacomys for an Australian 
mouse, called attention to an obscure name given by Owen many 
years previously to à group of marsupials, but contended that because 
the latter was spelled Zhalacomys (an obvious misprint), it did not 
preoccupy his name. Subsequently it was shown that Owen’s name 
was in reality first printed 7hylacomys, 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 Zhylacomys 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, 7Aa/acomys, which was published with a 
description, instead of the correct and really earlier Zhylacomys. 

In Wallace’s ‘Geographical Distribution,’ published in 1876, /Vec- 
tomys is given by mistake as WVeotomys. The accompanying species 
indicate that Wectomys is intended. Fourteen years later, in 1890, 
Thomas proposed WVeotomys as a distinct genus. The question arises, 
Shall Wallace's Veotomys be recognized as preoecupying the later and 
otherwise valid generic name? 

Thomas in 1896 proposed the name Craurothrix to replace Hehi- 
othriz Gray, 1867, because the latter was preoccupied by Echinothrix 
Peters, 1853. In 1898, however, he abandoned ÓCrawrothris on the 
ground that Hehiothrix was sufficiently distinct from Lehinothriax.4 
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 Stenorynchus 
of earlier authors.” ^ 

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 by Illiger in 1811, based on Lucco dubius. In 
1815 Leach? described three additional species, which he named Pogo- 
nia sulcirostris, Pogonia levirostris, and Pogonius vieilloti. He also 
referred incidentally to /xwrostris as Pogonias lavirostris, thus using 
the genus in three different forms in the same volume. These three 
species now stand as Pogonorhynchus dubius (=sulcirostris), Melano- 
bucco bidentatus (=levirostris), and JM. wieilloti. Pogonorhynchus, 
proposed in 1833, is now used instead of Pogonias, the latter being 
preoccupied by Pogonias Lacépéde, 1800, a genus of fishes. J/elano- 
bucco was described in 1889, the type being b¢dentatus (=levirostris). 
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 Pogonza used with sulcirostris has precedence as 
an earlier name for the genus now known as Pogonorhynchus, and 
Pogonius used with vietlloti as the earliest name applied to the group 
Melanobucco. 

If misprints are to be given such importance as indicated in these 
examples, Veotomys Thomas, 1890, must be considered preoccupied, 
Cystophoca 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 Linneus in 1751 in 
his * Philosophia Botanica.’ Illiger," among others, regularly renamed 
genera derived from native words and gave a list of the names he 
rejected according to the rules of Linneus. He discarded hybrids, 
such as Hydrogallina (223);? compounds of a syllable of one word 
with the whole of another. as J/elursus (224); genera formed by pre- 
fixes, as Perameles (225), or suffixes, as Balenoptera and Delphin- 
apterus (227); words ending in oides, as 7alpoides (226); adjectives used 
as substantives, as Caudivolvulus, Mellivora, Setifer (285); * sesqui- 
pedal’ names, or names difficult to pronounce, as Hyperoodon (249); 
names based on a misconception of characters, as J/onodon (232); 
names derived from terms used in anatomy or the arts, as Avvicola, 
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. 45-46). The A. O. U. Code provides (Canon 
XX XJ) 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 they 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

of gerbilles (Gerbillinz) of northeast Africa. The same name was pro- 
posed by Le Conte in 1830 for a group of meadow mice (Microtinz) 
from Georgia, and by Peppig in 1835 for a group of octodonts (Octo- 
dontine) from Chile. Both Le Conte and Peppig were evidently 
ignorant of the previous use of Psammomys at the time their deserip- 
tions were published. | Orca was applied by Wagler in 1830 to a group 
of toothed whales, including Delphinus bidentatus and D. desmaresti, 
while Z'urszo was used by him for Delphinus perono? from the southern 
seas. Gray in 1846 adopted Delphinapterus for the latter species and 
transferred the name 7wrs¢o 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 Zursio. 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." 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, 
Neomys Kaup, 1829 (véw, to swim; “0s, mouse), and Weomys Gray, 
1873 (véos, new, “0s, 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 due to gender, choice of connecting vowel of compound words, 


1591—No. 23—03———3 


34 INDEX GENERUM MAMMALIUM. 


or presence or absence of aspirates. Some eminent zoologists maintain 
that a difference of a single letter im two names is sufficient to pre- 
vent the later one from being preoccupied, and cite such cases as 
Picus 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; Ofostomus Beck, 1837, a mollusk; 
Otostoma Carter, 1856, a protozoan; Ofostomwum Ehrenberg, 1872, a 
protozoan, all evidently derived from the same Greek words, ovs, ear, 
and otoua, mouth. 

(b) According to the particular Greek dialect from which the words 
have been selected, as Lampronessa and Lampronetta. Both these 
names are compounds of Xa pos, splendid, and vzgrr«, duck; but in 
the former the Epic or Ionic form, v7o0«, is used and in the latter its 
Attic equivalent, v7zrra«. 

(c) According to whether the original Greek form has been pre- 
served or whether it has been transliterated into Latin form, as /77p- 
posideros and Hipposiderus. 

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

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

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 
Kahos,” beautiful, and 42s, 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. Kalomus. 
Callimys. Callimus. Kallimys. Kallimus. 
Callomys. Callomus. Kallomys. Kallomus.

A LIST OF THE GENERA AND FAMILIES OF MAMMALS. 35 


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." 

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.

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 isin 
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. ¢ 


In view of this divergence of opinion regarding preoccupied names, 
it has been deemed advisable to discuss the subject somewhat in detail, 
and in preparing the index to keep in mind the needs of various

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 Zenosezurus Gray was published in 1843 with 
LI. tupasoides from Singapore as the type. The specific name, how- 
ever, was a nomen nudum and remained undefined until Blyth, in 
1855, described the species as Sc[¢wrus] tupaioides 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 1848, the time of first publication, or 
1867, the time of first publication after description of the type species. 
Some generic names which are practically nomena 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, 
are a few cases in which generic names have been given to animals 
that never existed. Examples of these are Sukotyro of Kerr, based

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, isa 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.^ In 1827 
the name was used asa Latin word in the form Zrjzodontes," but it 
does not seem to have been used in the form Priodon until 1831.^ In 
1843 it was modified to Pzonodon," a name which, however, had been 
proposed by Horsfield in 1824 for a genus of Viverride from Java. 
Recently Thomas, accepting the current date of Cuvier's Priodon, has 
adopted Linsang Müller 1839, instead of Przonodon Horsfield,* on the 
ground that the latter is preoccupied by /’riodon 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 ali Lands,’ 1898 (p. 125), quotes Palmatus 
Giebel, 1859, as one of the synonyms of Pama. Reference to Giebel’s 
'Sáugethiere' shows that the name was originally published Pa/matz, 
including Cervus dama and C. somonensis. Wagner also recognized a 
number of subdivisions of Fes under plural names, e. g., Leoninae, 
Servalinae, and Tigrinae, and these have recently been revived by 
Grevé under the forms Leonina, Servalina, and T?grina. 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 deseribed 


A-LIST OF THE GENERA AND FAMILIES OF MAMMALS. 41 


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 Brithopus, Aladeisteriodon, 
and Orthopus, and the fish penus Wa//ago, 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, gre 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 by 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 ( Chzrotherium) was doubtfully referred to the Mammalia or the 
Amphibia. Three genera— Caryoderma Cope, Tritylodon Owen, and 
Theriodesmus Seeley—have been considered mammals until very 
recently. The Mesozoic genera TZheriodesmus 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. 


Itis 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 by 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. They may contain many 
facts of interest, descriptive, geographical, or historical, and the 
knowledge of such derivation may 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 Zoologicus’ 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,’ which 
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 Linnzeus 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 Linnzeus 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, 


4 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 1n Beddard’s ‘Mammalia’, 1902. 

b*The Story of a Word—Mammal,' Pop. Sci. Monthly, LXI, pp. 434-438, Sept., 
1902. 


A LIST OF THE GENERA AND FAMILIES OF MAMMALS. 43 


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 
Linneeus 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, à mammal isa being espe- 


cially marked by, or notable for having, mamme. 

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—mammiféres, 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 Littré. Littré, however, has the words mammalogie, mammalogique and 
mammalogiste. 

Of course the Germans coined a word from their vernacular—Saugethiere, or 
suckling animals: the cognate nations imitated; the Dutch with Zoogdieren, the 
Swedish with Dággdjuren, 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 Linneeus 
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 Richard 
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 Myrmecobius 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 roughly estimated as follows: Greek, 70 
percent; Latin, 5 percent; modern languages (exclusive of barbarous 
names), 2 percent; native names, 23 percent. | 


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 
15 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.

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 Feresa, Genetta, 
Grampus, Guepardus, Muscardinus, Noctula, Palmassta, Phalanger 
(originally from the Greek), Rangifer, Rateus, Rorqual, Lousettus, 
Sagoinus, Sariqua, Tutusia, Vampyrus, and Verrusus; from the Italian 
Foina, Lontra, Pipistrellus, and Zihellina; from the Spanish Chin- 
chilla (based on the native name) Vutria, and Zorilla; from the Portu- 
cuese ELncoubertus; from the German Cricetus, Desman, Hamster, 
Vormela, and Zibetha; from the Dutch Poescopia, from the Scandina- 
vian Alces, Lemmus, Narwhalus, and Rosmarus,; and from the Russian 
Beluga and Saga. 


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 Linnean rules 
adopted by Illiger 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. 
Coat. 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 has 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. | Lacépéde 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] 


4 Prodromus Systematis Mammalium et Avium, p. xvii, 1811. 


46 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 (1. 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 
Brésil, 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. Margay. Sika. 
Alouatta. Guereza. Memina. Tatu. @ 
Avahi. Indri. Ochotona. Tayassu. * 
Babirussa. Kerivoula. Pudu.¢@ Tenrec. 
Bondar. Lama. Rusa. Vizcacia. 
Chaus. Linsang. Saimiri. Zebu. @ 


Others have been modified to give them Latin endings, as— 


Baginia. Conepatus. Mangusta. Salanoia. 
Bandicota. Fennecus. Mazama. Siamanga. 
Barangia. Jaguarius. Nandinia. Simenia. 
Bettongia. Kangurus. Nesokia. Suricata. 
Cabassous. Kiodotus. Okapia. Tapirus. 
Cariacus. Kobus. Ouakaria. Tupaia. 
Coassus. Manatus. ' Potorous. Unaüs. 


“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 many names have found the usual sources insufficient or 
unsatisfactory. These names may be divided into two groups: (a) 
Coined or nonsense names, like Azema, Blarina, Degonia, Kogia, and 
Tatera, and (b) anagrams,’ such as— 

Diocartherium from Cardiotherium. 
Eirara from Eraria. 

Genysccelus from Coelogenys. 

Glisorex from Sorexglis. 

Ideodelphys from Eodidelphys. 

Lymodon from Mylodon. 
Machlydotherium from Chlamydotherium. 
Magestus from Megastus. 


Caliphrium from Licaphrium. 
Cephanodus from Phenacodus. 
Chiroscaptor from Scaptochirus. 
Chochilius from Icochilus. 
Colus from Suloc. 

Corsira from Corsair (?). 

Cutia from Acuti. 

Decastis from Acdestis. 


@ 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. 

6 For some striking examples of anagrams in other classes, see Gill, Osprey, V, 
pp. 142-143, Sept., 1901.

in other groups,” thus necessitating change and consequent multiplica- 
tion of synonyms. 


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. Cayluxotherium. Libytherium. Puelia. 
Andinomys. Cesserassictis. Limognitherium. Quercytherium. 
Annamisus. Colhuapia. Missourium. Ronzotherium. 
Argyrocetus. 2 Colhuelia. Moeritherium. Ruscinomys. 
Argyrodelphis. Cournomys. Mouillacitherium. Samotherium. 
Argyrohippus. Felov1a. Otronia. Scaldicetus. 
Argyrohyrax. Felsinotherium. Pampatherium. Sinisus. 
Argyrolestes. Gergoviomys. Paranomys. Sivalarctos. 
Atlantoxerus. Helladotherium. Pellegrina. Sivalhippus. 
Bachitherium. Hydaspidotherium. Perieromys. Uintacyon. 
Boneia. Issidioromys. Plataéomys. Uintamastix. 
Budomys. Kasi. Platatherium. Uintatherium. 
Burramys. Lafkenia. Poiana. Urmiatherium. 
Cadurcotherium. Lelfunia. i Prominatherium. Wynyardia. 


* Unless compounded with a name of a mammal, as for example Prometheomys. 
+ Argyrocetus, meaning La Plata whale, epyupos, 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 21. 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.

59 INDEX GENERUM MAMMALIUM. 


COMPOUNDS. 


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 Linneeus, rejected them, 
and quotes three Linnean rules as authority for so doing: 

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

227. N.g. ex aliis nominibus genericis cum syllaba quadam in fine addita, conflata, 
non placent.  Balamnoptera, Delphinapterus. 


. 226. N. 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, IHippopotamus, Hippotigris, Hydropotes, Nyctereutes, and 
Ehinoceros. 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 J/us are usually restricted to rodents, and are 
not likely to be used in any class except mammals; the pre ew is 
constantly used to distinguish the typical genus or subgenus from 
groups which are aberrant, in contradistinction to such prefixes as 
hemi- and para- or the suffix ozdes, 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 effec anu 
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— 


aA 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 zodlogy, 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 zodlogy what the system of symbols and formule 
have done for chemistry. We want 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 Turdus migratorius as a chemist symbolizes 
by SO,H, what he understands hydrated sulphuric acid to be, would be an inesti- 
mable boon to working naturalists. (Key N. Am. Birds, 2d ed., 78, 1884.) 


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

Thus words compounded with -theriwm, or with the prefixes amphi-, 
£0-, epi-. limno-, meso-, meta-, mio-, plesio-, plio-, and. proto-, are almost 
always used for extinct genera^ and should be reserved exclusively 
for them. Prefixes may be briefly and conveniently used to express 
relationship. Amphicyon, Epicyon, and Pseudocyon, all indicate groups 
more or less closely related to the dogs; Cimolestes, a marsupial from 
the Cretaceous; Hohippus, Miohippus, and Pliohippus were proposed 
for horses which existed in the Eocene, Miocene, or Pliocene; /oto- 
dichobune for a type of artiodactyl which preceded, and MWetadichobune 
for one which followed, Dichobune. 

Pliohippus means an animal from the Pliocene related to the modern 
horse; J/iostren, an animal from the Miocene related to modern sire- 
nians; and ZLémnofel;s, 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 (c) 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: yady, 
weasel; Z«T:s, weasel; ppv, ruminant; 0s, mouse; vUKTEpis, bat; 
0óoUs, tooth. As will be seen by reference to ‘the lists, the com- 
pounds of these words vary from 39 in the case of Jpvé, to 350 in the 
case of us, and to more than 450 in that of oóovs. In other words, 
about 8 percent of all the generic names of mammals are compounds 
of u?s and more than 10 percent of the entire number are compounds 
of odovs. 


«There are a few exceptions, such as Amphiaulacomys, Amphisorex, Ceratotheriwm, 
Dorcatherium (originally applied to an extinct group since found to have living 
representatives), Honycteris, 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 GENERIC 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 Adapisorex and Cervalces, although some of them 
may be simply classical compounds of two names of animals, as Camel- 
opardalis and Cynaloper. In either case the result is the same. 
Compounds of cyno («vcv), gale, and myo (40s) are most frequent, as 


will be seen by reference to the following list:

APPLICATION OF NAMES. 


Etymology 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 
D ») 9 ; 


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 


ort

may be made: (1) classical names and their compounds; (2) native 
names: (3) geographical names; (+) personal names; (5) names indica- 
tive of age; (6) names indicating size, form, color, and resemblance; 
(7) names indicating habit and habitat; (8) mames 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 names.—Words of classical derivation taken from 
names of animals (see p. 44). like Cebus, Gale, Mus, and Pithecus and 
compounded with such prefixes as ev (typical), «zip; (on both sides), 
para (near), pseudo (false), za (intensive prefix), etc., need no special 
explanation. Similarly, words like A/¢écola (high dweller), Zerricola 
(ground dweller), //ydropotes (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 Dasypus is now applied to the armadillos, which do 
not occur in the Old World, and Cebus (from «7fos, which meant any 
long-tailed monkey), is now restricted to neotropical monkeys, which 
were entirely unknown to the Greeks. The connection between this 
name and its apparent compounds Arctocebus, Habrocebus, Microcebus, 
and Vycticebus, all applied to Old World lemurs, is not clear, except on 
the theory that the latter are not compounds of the modern generic 
name, but of the original «760s. Similarly, most of the compounds 
of zti8n«os, ape, are applied to Old World groups, while the root word 
in the form /’thecia is transferred to a South American monkey. 

(2) Native names.— Native names like Bandicota (pig rat) and Aerz- 
voula (plantain bat) constitute one of the most interesting groups (pro- 
viding their derivation can be ascertained), and they are usually based 
on such prominent characters that little explanation 1s required. 

(3) Geographical names.—Geographical names (see p. +7) 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 Zwscinomys from Ruscino, the 
Roman name of the modern town of Perpignan in France; As, a 
subgenus of monkeys from India, named from Kasi, the ancient desig- 
nation of Benares, and Argyrocetus, *silver whale’ of Argentina, used 
in the sense of La Plata (silver) whale. 

(4) Personal names.—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. 


categorics—those derived from the name of the collector of the species 
on which the genus was based, like Bruzjnia, Carloameghinia, and JVel- 
sonia, and those named in compliment to some distinguished person, as 
Garzonia, for Don Eleazar Garzon, governor of the province of Cor- 
doba, Argentina; Capacezn?us, 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 cvident, 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 eo-, mo-, and plio-; thus Lopithecus, Miopithecus, and 
Pliopithecus represent apes from the Eocene, Miocene, and Pliocene. 
Similarly a few compounds have been made from cmo- and ceno-; 
thus Cimolestes, Cimolodon, and Cimolomys indicate mammals from 
the Cretaceous (chalk); and Ceenobasileus, Cenopithecus, and Cenothe- 
rium, Mammals from recent or Quaternary beds.” The prefixes hyper- 
(above), ¢nxfra- (below), proto- (first), pro- (before), meso- (middle), and - 
post- (after), are also employed to represent relative age, as /7Typer- 
tragulus, Infrapithecus, Protohippus, | Promeles, Mesohippus, and 
Postpithecus. Occasionally names have been suggested by the char- 
acter of the beds in which the fossils were discovered; thus Anthraco- 
theriwm is a genus from the anthracite or lignite beds of Tuscany, 
Argillotherium one from the London clay, Chalicothervum one from 
the gravel beds of Eppelsheim, and Szderothervwm one from the iron - 
ore deposits near Mósskirch, Baden. 

(6) Descriptive 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 Jege- 
therium to the pygmy JVannosceurus, but though the meaning of such 
names may be obvious, yet they convey no idea of absolute size to show 
that their selection is especially appropriate. Thus while J/egamys 
plainly refers toa large rodent, it does not show that the mammal thus 
named was supposed to have been as large as an ox; and while A/icro- 
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 JMeerosorex 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 
(Stenobalena); from thick (Pachysoma) to slender (Leptomys); from 
short ( Brachytherium) to long (Dolichotherium). 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 


“ Cenolestes, however, has been applied to a living mammal,

general are found in Celenomys, Chrotomys, and Chrotopterus; to red 
in Erythrocebus, Erythrosciurus, and Rousettus; to white in Beluga, 
Leucas, Leucocyon, Leucomitra, Leucopleura, and Leucorhamphus, to 
greenish yellow in CA/oromys; and to yellowin Chryseus, Chrysochloris, 
Chrysocyon, Chrysomys, Chrysonycteris, Chrysospalax, Chrysothria, 
Jcterus, and Xantharpyia. References to markings may be either to 
spots (Balionycteris, Rhinostictus, Spilogale), to stripes (Lemniscomys, 
Strigocuscus), to bands (JZistriophoca, Teniogale), or to a combination 
of colors (parti-colered) or markings (Pecclogale, Pecilomys, Pecilo- 
phoca). General resemblance is indicated by compounds of ozdes, ops, 
and opsis (Petauroides, Dipodops, and Cheropsis), and by many double 
names of mammals, such as Antilocapra, Ovibos, and Taurotragus. 
(7) Miscellaneous 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 (Zachyoryctes), 
groping about (Pselaphon), running (Dromedarius and Dromicia), fly- 
ing (Pteromys), and swimming (Vectomys); living in the water (//ydro- 
mys), on land (7errzcola), and underground (77ypogeomys). Habits and 
characteristics of various kinds are illustrated by Chiropotes (hand 
drinker), /7ydropotes (water drinker), Vyctereutes (night hunter), and 
Oxygous (shrill wailing). Disagreeable odors are suggested by such 


names as Ldeogale, Mephitis, Ozolictis, Osmotherium, and Putorius. 


Character of habitat is often indicated by a prefix or suffix. Thus we 
have names of animals of the water (//ydrocherus, Hydrodamalis), 
sea (Zalicore, Thalarctos), rivers (Hippopotamus, Potamocherus), 
islands (WVesonycteris, Nesotragus), swamps (felogale, Limnogale), 
rushes (Thryonomys), fields (Arvicola), gardens (Leimacomys), trees 
(Dendrolagus, Dryoryx), forests (Hylomys, Hylobates), plains (Pedio- 
tragus), pampas (Pampatherium), deserts (Xerospermophilus), sand 
(Ammospermophilus), rocks (Petrogale, Rupicapra), caves (Antrozous), 
heights (Hyperacrius), mountains (Oreotragus and Oreamnos), of snow 
and ice (Chionobates, Pagophilus), and torrid heat (/7elarctos, [Telio- 
phoca). Finally, character of the food is sometimes expressed in the 
name, as when the animal feeds on seeds (Spermophilus), grain (Sito- 
mys), rice (Oryzomys, Oryzoryctes), bark (Phlwomys), roots (Phzzomys), 
grass (Poebrotherium, Poephagomys, Poephagus), fruit (Carponiys, 
Carponycteris, Syconycteris, Trygenycteris), honey (Mellivora, Melur- 
sus), ants (Myrmecobius, Myrmecophaga), fish (Jchthyomys), or flesh 
(Sarcophilus 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, J/esomys 
(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 Jus, or that Synaptomys is 
a connectant form between the lemmings and field mice. Aschzzo- 
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 
 AMéerotus and Jvotomys." Likewise, Orthriomys (early mouse) and 
Phenacomys (deceptive mouse) are not self-explanatory. Orthriomys 
was so called from the fact that it süggests an ancient type inter- 
mediate between Phenacomys and the Microtine Pedomys and Arvw- 
cola; Phenacomys derives its name from the fact that externally it 
is almost indistinguishable from Jfeerotus. [/odomys (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 JYenomys (strange mouse), which merely suggest the 
peculiarities of the groups to which they belong without explaining 
them.  Pectinator (comber) and Zamas (steward) convey little idea of 
their appropriateness unless it is known that Pectinator, like Cteno- 
dactylus, has bristles on the hind feet which are smesei to be used 
in dressing the fur, and that 7«a/42as, 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, vertebrze, 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 (Stenotherium) to broad (Megaderma), probably in allusion to 
the size of the flying membranes; those of the hair from soft (Ad- 
rothria) and woolly (LagotAriz—rabbit hair) to spiny (Achzothria) and 
scaly (Lepithercum); those of the nose from allusions to a long nose 


(Nasalis and Oxymycterus) 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).

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; J/egantereon (great chin), which refers to the size of 
the lower jaw and not to that of the animal;^ Ommatophoca (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 Zomopeas (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 Caperea (capero, to wrinkle), from the rugulose character of 
the ear bones; and J/eganeuron (large nerve), from the large size of 
the neural passage in the atlas. — Deltatherzum, Lambdatherzum, and 
Sigmodon are suggested by the enamel patterns of the molar teeth, 
which resemble the Greek letters 4, 4, 2, respectively; Syccwm refers 
tothe bony walls of the pulp cavity, which close the lateral grooves 
but do not close the pulp cavity below; Vesodon (island tooth) takes 
its name from an island of enamel on the inner side of a molar; 
Ochetodon and feithrodon (grooved tooth) refer to grooves on the 
upper incisors; Plagiaulax (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. Suchare 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 Afeles (incomplete) and Colobus (maimed), both referring to the 
rudimentary character of the thumb; Perodicticus, referring to the 
rudimentary index finger; Cholwpus (lame footed), indicating a reduced 
number of toes, and O/bodotes (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 
deseriber, 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 
inapplication. The explanations given in the list will be found unsat- 


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

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. J/domdneus, 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 JMerzones having long been used for a genus of Gerbilline, it 
was thought fitting that à subgenus of the same group should be 
named after his companion, /domineus. 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) JVames 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 they are 
sometimes embodied must stand as first published. Several generic 
names thus erroneously given are strikingly inapplicable. Thus 
Acerathervwm was so named because it was supposed to be a hornless 
rhinoceros, but according to Osborn the animal probably did possess 
arudimentary horn. Azluravus, originally supposed to bean 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 J/esoplodon bidens 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 nota reptile. Condylura 
(knotted tail) was applied to the star-nosed moles by Illiger, who 
based his description on a very imperfect figure, in which the tail was 
represented as having a series of nodes. Hyperoodon and Uranodon 
(palate tooth) were applied to the same genus of ziphioid whales on 
account of the rough papille on the palate, which were at first mis- 
taken for teeth. Paradorurus (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 Stemmatops (wreathed 
face), in allusion to the hood, and that the insertion of a w by mistake 


—— À 


mM

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

Finally may be mentioned nonsense names, which comprise coined 
names and anagrams (see. pp. 46-41), mere arbitrary combinations of 
letters which have no meaning and no application. Explanations, 
however, are 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 checking 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 Society 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 work 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 GENERUM MAMMALIUM. 


The completeness of the index has been greatly enhanced by 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 History, New York; Dr. Ch. Depéret, 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. Oldfield 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 ZZzhwrus; to Dr. Paul Matschie, 
of the Berlin Museum, for publications; to Dr. Santiago hoth, 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 Vespertilionide 
and Microtine; 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 my 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.

IV, pt. xiv, 77-88, pl. Lxxxv1, text figs. 95-07, May, 1899 (type fixed). 

Type not named by Rafinesque but evidently the Addax of the ancients ( 4ddax 
R. sp. do’ [=espéce du genre précédent, Antilope]). Laurillard's subgenus 
includes 8 species: Antilope strepsiceros Pallas and A. suturosa Otto (=A. naso- 
maculata Biainville, type) from Africa; .1. eurycerus Ogilby, from Senegambia; 
A. oreas Pallas, from Africa; A. cervicapra Pallas, from India; A. scripta, from 
Senegambia; A. sylvatica, from South Africa; and A. ogilby Waterhouse, from 
Fernando Po. 

Addax: Proper name—probably in allusion to the twisted horns. ‘‘Strepsiceros 
quem Addacem Africa apellat [Pliny]. But... as the native Arab name 
of the present species [.A4. naso-maculatus], according to Hemprich and Ehren- 
berg, is ‘Abu Akass’ (the father of the twist), it seems highly probable that 
we have in it the veritable ‘Addax’ of the ancients" (ScrATER & THOMAS,

Glossary Fossil Mamm., 5, 1874. 

'* A genus of Ruminant, having some affinities with Merycopotamus; found in 
Miocene deposits in North America.’’—Gorr. This name has not been found 
except in this place. It is evidently not a misprint for Agriocherus, as the 
latter name follows it in the Glossary and is defined as ‘‘a genus of Mammals 

. allied to the Oreodon." 

Extinct.

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 Canidx, 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 Mül- 
ler, 1836. 

Agriodus: &y 10s, wild (possibly in the sense of aberrant); 09ovs, tooth. This 
genus has 46 or 48 teeth, including a greater number of molars than is pos- 
sessed by any other heterodont mammal,

Type: Antilope cervicapra (Linneeus), from India. 

In an article on the ‘Springbock’ of the Cape region (now known as Antidorcas 
euchore) Sparrman says that Pallas calls thisanimal Antilope pygargus. Sparrman 
also mentions Capra cervicapra of Linnzeus, based on figures by Houttein and 
Dodart, but states that the latter figure does not fit the Springbock. Headds: 
“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... .

* ** Lichtenstein separated the *europáischen Ziesel (dem polnischen Suslik)’ as the

species to be distributed in either Arctomys or Spermophilus. As the name chosen 
for the new group is the Linnean specific name of the suoslik (changed in spelling

1800. 


Type: Les ‘fourmiliers épineux’ (= Myrmecophaga aculeata Shaw), from New 
South Wales, Australia. 

Name preoccupied by Echidna Forster, 1788, a genus of Pisces. Thomas (Cat. 
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 
Ann. Mus. Civ. Storia Nat. Genova, ser. 2, XVIII, 621, 1897.) 

Echidna: &£y18v «, adder, viper—probably from the sharp spines, which are sup- 
posed to prick like the fangs of a viper. 


Echimys (‘Grorrroy’) Cuvier, 1809. Glires, Octodontidee.

Celebes (cf. Tomas, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist!, 6th ser., XVIII, 246, 1896). 
Name preoccupied by Zchinothrix Brookes, 1828, a genus of Erethizontidee; and 
by Echinothrix Peters, 1855, a genus of Echinodermata. Replaced by Craurothria 
Thomas, 1896. The latter name was afterwards discarded by Thomas with 
thefollowingexplanation: ‘‘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 Gray’s Echiothrix of 1867, and 
therefore again recognize the latter term . . . That the missing outof the 
letter » is not a misprint is shown by Gray having written on the type skin 
what appears to be ‘ Echithriv, might be ' Kchiothrix,’ but is certainly not 
KEchinothrix." (Trans. Zool. Soc. London, XIV, pt. v1, 397 footnote June, 1898.)

*The prefix eo- was proposed by Owen to indicate a genus occurring in the Eocene 
and his suggestion has been generally adopted by later authors. The term 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 
Hozapus.

subgutturosa 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

Gundi (‘ Fiscner’) Larasrr, 1881. Glires, Octodontide. 
LamAsTE, 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. Mamm., 
p. 346) mentionne |’ Arctomys gundi avec une diagnose et une indication 
d'habitat qu'il emprunte aux auteurs dontil cite les noms: Rothman, Pallas, 
Pennant, Shaw. Dans cet article, ce dernier nom termine les indications 
synonymiques, et il est suivi de ces mots: ‘Gundi arabicus’ (le Gundi des 
arabes). C'est vraisemblablement ce passage qui, mal lu, a fait attribuer à 
Shaw un genre et une espéce qu'il n'a pas créés, et que personne n'a créés, que 
je sache." . (LamrAsrE.) Shaw merely says (Gen. Zool., II, pt. 1, 123, 1801): 
* Tt is called by the Arabs Gundi." This statement is translated by Fischer 
'* Gundi Arabibus" (nec 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.

“Tt might be best to take this name [ Odobxnus] as it is, although its meaning is 
not quite clear. The derivation is not given; but it may be from ó83ovzc, ó8óv-

Steenstrup, i. e. walking with the assistance of the teeth, which here seems to 
be correct; or from 060s, way, in which case it ought to read Hodobenus (a sea 
animal which can also walk on a path); or from ov60s, field, earth, in which

^I first applied the name ZLoxzolophodon, with a diagnostic description, to this 
genus [of Uintatheriidz] in a short paper published August 19, 1872... I 
again described it more fully ina Seales published August 22d . . . Prior to 
the issue of the paper of August 22, I had (February 16, 1872) provisionally 
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 
nomen nudum." * (Cops, Tert. Vert., 572.) 


* The name, however, can hardly be considered as a nomen nudum, as it was 
applied to B. semicinctus, which was fully described.—T. S. P.

Lycyon (Loup-chien), ou plutót Lycuon, aurait peut-étre mieux rendu ma 
pensée; mais, si je n'ai pas adopté une de ces appellations, c'est que je n'ai pas 
voulu créer un nom si voisin, comme désinence, de celui de Lycaon, et augmen-

cette dénomination: ‘Cercopithecus angolensis major, in Congo vocatur Macaquo.’ 
Buffon attribua cette indication donnée par Marcgrave à un Singe qu'on a su depuis 
habiter exclusivement l'Inde, et il a francisé le nom africain de Macaquo, en le trans- 
formant en Macaque. . . . En 1799, Lacépéde latinisa ce nom en l'écrivant Macaca; 
mais presque tous les auteurs qui sont venus aprés l'ont écrit Macacus, à l'exemple 
de Desmarest, et c'est cette derniére orthographie qui a prévalu." (Gervais, Hist.

Mammut: Tartar name Mammaniu, ground dweller. The Siberian peasants 
( Yakuts and Tungusians), never having seen the mammoth alive, but finding 
its bones near the surface of the ground, believed the animal to be a gigantic 
mole, which lived under ground and perished when by accident it saw the 
light. (Lucas, Animals of the Past, 178, 1901.) 

Witzen, Strahlenburg, and Howorth have endeavored to prove that mammoth 
is a corruption of the Arabic word Behemoth, or great beast ( FLowER & LYDEK- 
KER, Mamm., Living & Extinct 428, 1891).

MICTOM YS——-MIMOMYS. 495 


Mictomys—Continued.

Midas Grorrroy, 1812. Primates, Hapalide. 
Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat., Paris, XIX, 120-121, 1812; Lesson, Species Mamm., 194, 
1840. 


Species, 6: Midas rufimanus Geoffroy (=Simia midas Linnzus, type), from Gui- 
ana; M. ursulus (=Saguinus ursula Hoffmannsegg), from Brazil; M. labiatus 
Geoffroy, from Brazil; M. leoninus ( —Simia leonina Humboldt), from the east 
slope of the Andes, Colombia; M. rosalia ( —S. rosalia Linnzeus), from Brazil; 
M. edipus (=S. edipus Linnzus), from Guiana. 

Name preoccupied by Midas Latreille, 1796, a genus of Diptera. 

Midas: Miéas, 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 Simia 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. 


Midaus (see Mydaus). Fere, Mustelide. 


Mimetes LracH, 1820. Primates, Simiide. 

Thomson's Ann. Philos., XVI, No. xcr, 104, Aug., 1820; Covzs, Century Dict., 
IV, 3768, 1890. 

“In the Journal de Physique, Dr. Leach has pointed out the generic differences 
that exist between the Black and the Red Orang-otans. 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 Simia troglodytes’’ from West 
Africa (Ann. Philos. 104). This is an error, as the generic name given to the 
‘Chimpanzé’ in the Journal de Physique (LXX XIX, 156, Aug., 1819) is 
Troglodytes, not Mimetes. 

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

Name preoccupied by Mimetes Hübner, 1816, a genus of Lepidoptera. (See Pan 
Oken, 1816.)

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

**T 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. )

used Myospalax generically;* but he afterwards relegated it to specific rank

.*]fi this view is correct, the name antedates both Siphneus Brants, 1827, and 
Myotalpa Kerr, 1792, and the subfamily to which it belongs should be called Myos- 
palacinze. 

Lilljeborg erroneously states (Syst. Ofv. Gnag. Diiggd., 26, 1866) that Mus talpinus is 
is the only species in the group; if this were the case it would transfer the genus 
to the Microtinze.

Species: Notnamed. Thegenus was based on a ‘‘flat bone, yellowish white, solid, 
hard and heavy, rounded, with a reniform base, eight inches broad and six and 
ahalflong; halfaninchthick; . . . 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 genus is credited to Blainville and includes 5 groups or subgenera now 
placed in three distinct families: Diplostoma Rafinesque and Saccophorus Kuhl 
(Geomyide); Saccomys Cuvier (Heteromyide); Poephagomys Cuvier and 
Ctenomys Blainville (Octodontide). 


* The preface of this book is dated January 1, 1874. The work appeared in parts 
and the pages here quoted probably came out in 1873. Allen and Trouessart both 
quote the date 1873 for this work. Dr. Leonhard Stejneger is also of the opinion 
that the first volume appeared in 1873.

Apparently a new name for the Narwhal (Monodon Linnzus, 1758, and Ceratodon 
Brisson, 1762). Type: Monodon monoceros Linnzeus, from the Arctic Ocean. 

Oryx was also used by Blainville in the same year (May, 1816) for a genus of 
African antelopes. ‘‘As Blainville's name has long been in current use and was 
published very early in the year 1816, there is no reason to question its tena- 
bility. It probably hasa slight priority over Oryx Oken." (ALLEN, 1. c., 375.)

Otelaphus: ovs, @r0s, ear; ELados, deer—in allusion to the large ears. 


*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. 

+ The prefix Ot-, from ovs eds, ear, is used (except in a few cases like Otocolobus) 
to denote possession of large ears. 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.

Paracyon. M. Temminck has since done so, and applied to it the name Thyla-

although both were published in the same year.

erence as being in accord with the derivation and evidently the correct form, but 
Phocena is the spelling adopted by Linnzus and some earlier authors for the name 
of the type species which doubtless suggested the designation of the genus.

Presbytis—Continued. 

*' Both the genera Semnopithecus and Presbytis were proposed in the same year, 
1821, the former in the French form Semnopithéque, for S. entellus and S. 
melalophos (Hist. Nat. des Mammiféres). . . . 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: mpe6Boris, an old woman (zpe6Gvrns, an old man). The common 
name ‘priest monkey,’ sometimes used, seems to indicate that the generic 
name might have been derived from 2pe6fvrepos, an elder, priest.

Name merely suggested, not actually proposed. ‘‘ Lorsqu’un groupe est sub- 


divisé, il est d’usage, et presque de régle, que la subdivision principale conserve 
le nom de la division, et que des noms nouveaux concordant autant que pos-

cette régle, le nom de Felis devrait rester en propre au groupe qui comprend 
les grandes espéces à pupille circulaire, et les Felis à pupille variable devraient 
recevoir un nom nouveau, tel que: Noctifelis, Profelis ou tout autre analogue."'

have been better to have modified Stenorhynchus into Stenorhynchotes, and thus 
to obtain a generic name, which whilst distinctive, would have been a less 
departure from the name most commonly in use than the generic term ÓOgmo-

TAMBLA-MASTODON—TAPHOZOUS. 661 


Tambla-Mastodon Rocer, 1887. Ungulata, Proboscidea, Elephantide. 

Bericht Naturwiss. Ver. Schwaben u. Neuburg (a. V.), Augsburg, XXIX, 33, 
1887; XXXII, 161, 1896. 

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.

* Gervais and Verreaux gave a description of Tarsipes rostratus at the meeting of 
the Zoological Society of London on Jan. 11, 1842, but their paper did not appear in 
the ‘Proceedings’ until June. In the meantime, Gray, who had received a specimen 
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 7. spensere. Gray’s specific name 
apparently has priority over T. rostratus Gervais & Verreaux.

* 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 
990, on which Miopithecus is quoted from Comptes Rendus, XV, pp. 720, 1037, 1842; 
and from Dict. Univ. Hist. Nat., IIT, 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.

that if it was a fossil cast of grit-stone, it was a great anomaly, and to :nsinuate 
that whereas there was no proof of the animal having had a nasal horn like 
the rhinoceros, the name intended, did not well apply, and ought to be changed

by Steenstrup, i. e. walking with the assistance of the teeth, which here 
seems to be correct;—or from 060s, way, in which case it ought to read Hodo- 
benus (a sea animal which can also walk on a path);—or from o606s, field,

Zebus BrvrH, Journ. Asiatic Soc., Bengal, X XIX, No. ur, 283, 1860; Cat. Mamm. 
Mus. Asiatic Soc., 159, 1863. 

The genus was i described in an unsigned article in the London Encyclope- 
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 zébu, 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 Dict. ) 

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, 
207518982) : 

Zebua (' ERXLEBEN') Gnav, 1837. Marsupialia, Macropodide.

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 Jaculus gigantea, but Zimmermann in the same year (1777) used the 
term Yerboa gigantea for the same species.

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 by 
the range and extent of the differential characteristics which exist 
between the typical form and the next allied. A family may there- 
fore bé monotypic (i. e., limited to a single known species) or exceed- 
ingly polymorphic (i. e., embracing thousands of species).” ^ 


HISTORY.” 


In the system of classification adopted by Linneus 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 by Latreille, in 1796, in his * Précis des Caractéres génériques 
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 Élémentaire de l'Histoire Naturelle des Animaux," had 
divided two orders (one unnamed, the other Neuroptéres) into families 


* G1LL, Johnson's Universal Cyclopedia, new ed., III, p. 283, 1894. 

» The facts in the following brief résumé 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. 

^ Gill 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. 

719 


720 INDEX GENERUM MAMMALIUM. 


and applied names to the groups, and Duméril, in 1806, in his ‘ Zodlo- 
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—‘ide.’ 
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 scarabxide, Coleop- 
tera staphylinidex, Coleoptera sphacridiadex, Orthoptera gryllida, 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 by different rules. Agassiz made no distinction between fam- 
ilies and subfamilies, but applied the ending ozdzx to names of Greek 
origin, and zna to those of Latin origin. Burmeister used zdx, but 
called the groups thus distinguished subfamilies. Lesson in 1842 
adopted the termination zdex; other zoologists used the endings 2d? or 
or 2da, and still others 2n? or ?na. At present, however, uniform ter- 
minations effectually distinguish the family and subfamily from other 
groups and also from each other. ‘The ending zdx suggested by Kirby 
has been preserved for the family and the corresponding ending 2n is 
applied to the subfamily.^ 

Much less attention has been paid by systematists 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 idx to Greek words without distinction (Jahrb. Hamburg. 
Wiss. Anstalten, VII, No. 6, 1890). Properly, words of the first and second declen- 
sions ending in os, a, and 7 should have the termination idx (short i); those of the 
third declension ending in évs, idx (longi); those of the first and second declensions 
ending in 206, za, 7s, and «s, and those of the third declension in zs and za take iade; 
while those of the third declension in ws and € take oide. All other words of the

*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, Z/lobiinee 
Gill, 1872, a subfamily of murine rodents, is preoccupied by EVlobiine 
Adams, 1858, a subfamily of mollusks; the former is based on Z//o- 
bius, the latter on Adlobium, but the form of the subfamily name is 
identical in both cases. There is also the case of Gliridx Thomas, 
1896, a family of dormice, preoccupied by Gliridx 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 RANK. 


The relative values assigned to families and subfamilies by dif- 
ferent authors have been almost as varied as the terminations 
employed. In some cases, names ending in ‘ina’ have been employed 
for groups higher than modern families—almost subordinal in rank. 
In other cases, they 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,’ ‘ide,’ ‘ida,’ as well as those that end in ‘ini,’ ‘ine,’ and ‘ina.’ 
The former are treated as families and the latter as subfamilies, irre- 
spective of whether the zd names are termed subfamilies or the Zn 
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,’ ‘ine,’ or ‘ina’) and later on raised to family 


third declension take idz and iade. Blanchard has also called attention to the fact 
that family names in ide and iade are masculine, while those of subfamilies in inc 
are feminine (Deux. Rapport Nomenclature Etres Organisés, présenté au Congrés 
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.

rank. In such cases the reference for the first publication of the form 
‘idee’ 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 Stricklandian Code of 
1887-42, 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, 1893. 

Stricklandian Code, 1937."—T]ule 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? as follows: 

B. It is recommended that the assemblages of genera termed fami- 
lies should be uniformly named by adding the termination ‘ide’ 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 * ins." 

These words are formed by changing the last syllable of the geni- 
tive case into ‘ide’ or ‘ine,’ as strix, strigis, strigide; buceros, 
bucerotis, bucerotide; not strixide, buceride. 

A. O. 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 ‘ide’ or ‘ine.’ When the generic name becomes a 
synonym, a current family or subfamily name based upon such 
generic name becomes untenable. 

Canon 16. The law of priority is only comparatively operative in 
relation to names of groups higher than genera, and only where names 
are strictly synonymous. ^

c ** A time will doubtless arrive when mutations in the names of the higher groups, - 
particularly families, will be 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 


PART II: INTRODUCTION. 295 


Paris-Moscow Code, 1889—92.— Art. 42. Les noms de famille sont 
formés en ajoutant la désinence zd& au radical du genre servant de 
type. On dénommera les subdivisions de la famille en ajoutant la 
désinence 22: au nom du genre servant de type. 

Art. 43. Un nom de famille doit disparaitre et étre remplacé, si le 
nom générique, aux dépens duquel il était formé, tombe en synonymie 
et disparait lui-méme de la nomenclature. 

Art. 46. La loi de priorité est applicable aux noms de familles ou de 
groupes plus élevés, tout aussi bien qu'aux noms de genres et d'espéces, 
à la condition qu'il s'agisse de groupes ayant méme extension. 

Report of the Fourth International Congress, 1898.—Section 31. 

The name of a family is formed by adding the ending zd, the name 
of a subfamily by adding zn 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 RULES. 


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 ‘ide,’ while subfamilies should end in ‘ ine.’ 
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 the 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, Vescaccia, 1816 or Lagostomus, 1828; the true chinchillas with five 
toes on the front feet, Chinchilla, 1829, or Hriomys, 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, Lagostomus, Chinchilla, 
Eriomys, and Lagidium—for three genera, and four of these five generic 
names have been used as the basis of the four corresponding family 
names, Viscachidee 1842, Chinchillide 1533, Eriomvide 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, Rept. Am. Ass. Adv. Sci., 1877, p. 27.) 


194 INDEX GENERUM MAMMALIUM. 


Lagostomide 1838. Moreover, Chinchillide, Eriomyide, and Lago- 
stomide are in more or less common use and all apply to the same 
group. It is now known that Vescaccia antedates Lagostomus by 
twelve years; and it can be shown that Hriomys and Chinchilla were 
published in the same year, but that the latter was more fully described 
and hence is better entitled to recognition; Lagostomus and Hriomys 
being thus reduced to synonymy, Lagostomide and Eriomyids need 
not be considered. Of the other two, Chinchillidz 1833 was actually 
the earliest family name, whereas Viscachidezx 1842 was based on the 
earliest genus. The A. O. U. 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 Vzscaccia was the earliest known; hence, 
under the second requirement of that code, the family name would 
become Viscacciidee—a term scarcely ever used. 

The American kangaroo rats and pocket mice, comprising the five 
genera Dipodomys, Perodipus, Microdipodops, Perognathus, and 
Heteromys, have long been known under the family name of Sacco- 
myide, but Saccomys has been dropped as unidentifiable and recently 
Heteromyide has been adopted for the family. At least three of the 
genera, including //eteromys, 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, Perognathidine. Under 
the A. O. U. Code, any one of the three genera /Zeteromys, Dipod- 
omys, and Perognathus 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, Dipodomyide would 
be the proper name. But Allen, in adopting Heteromyide, 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, Caviide ( Cava, 
1766) would become Hydrocheeridee (//ydrocherus, 1162); Dasyproctide 
(Dasyprocta, 1811) would become Agoutidee (Agoutz, 1799); Erethizon- 
tides (Erethizon, 1822) would become Coendide (Coendou, 1799), and 
Octodontide ( Octodon, 1832), would become Myocastoridee (A/yocastor, 
1792). 


ENHIOEX OF FAMILIES AND SUBFAMILIES. 


NoTE.—AÀn asterisk (*) indicates that the group is extinct. A double dagger (1) 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 
family rank. 

Italie type is used for variants of both family and subfamily names.

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 publieation, its type, or its etymology; 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 accompanying 
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

Ur 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 any 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, 
especialiy 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, à group is shifted from the Pri- 
mates to the Glires, as in the case of Mxodectes"—1t 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.^ In extinct groups, 
Hay's * Bibliography and Catalogue of Fossil Vertebrata of North 
America? (1902), Trouessart’s * Catalogus Mammalium’ (1897-99), and 
Zitte’s ‘Handbuch der Paleeontologie’ (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 Ossorn, 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 Scorr (‘Introduction to Geology,’ p. 548, 1897) 
does not recognize the Ungulata, but gives the Amblypoda, Artiodactyla, Condy- 
larthra, Litopterna, Perissodactyla, Proboscidea, Toxodontia, 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 be the case under the alphabetical arrangement. _ 


PART III: 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 Abderitide, Epanorthide, and Garzonide, 
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 Bovide 
and the Cervidee, 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: 
Tritylodontide. Notoryctide. 

Edentata: Paurodontide. 
Orophodontide. Monotremata:

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.’ These terms, however, are not properly synonymous 


9 'l'RoUESSART gives the Trichechide, Procaviide, Pyrotheride, Pantolambdide, and 
Polyma:todontidz 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. 

b'* 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. i pl cenialia and DénesbssmHie eros Trans. N. Y. 
Acad. Sci., XIII, pp. 234-237, June 4, 1894).

with those of De Blainville. As originally proposed by Doctor Gill,^ 
the Prototheria included the monotremes or Ornithodelphia, and the 
Eutheria the marsupials and placentals or both the Didelphia and 
Monodélphia. 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 they 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, Fere, and 
Glires have been adopted on grounds of priority instead of the better 
known terms Multituberculata, Cetacea, Carnivora, and Rodentia. 
The name Bruta of Linnzeus 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, Erethizontidee instead of Coendidee), 
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. |

184 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; IL, 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 found 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 Zapodidee and the following six extinct 
families: Castoroidide, Eocardide, Ischyromyide, Mixodectide, Pseu- 
dosciuridze, and Theridomyide. The Lophyomine have been accorded _ 
full family rank, the name Muscardinide has been substituted for - 
Gliride, and in the Muridee, Cricetine has been substituted for Sig- | 
modontine and Myotalpine for Siphneinee. 


CROSS REFERENCES. 


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


PART III: 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 either 
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 
eases 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 AZab;russa 
babyrussa, Giraffa giraffa, Hippopotamus liberiensis, and Microtus pine- 
torum have each formed the basis of 4 generic names; Dicrostonyx 
torquatus, Fiber zibethicus, and Tayassu torquatus of 5; and Galeo- 
pithecus volans, Hydrodamalis gigas, and Simia satyrus of 6. Three 
striking examples are those of the aye-aye (Daubentonia madagas- 
cariensis) and the two-toed anteater ( Cyclopes didactylus), each of which 
has received seven names; and the chimpanzee (Sima troglodytes), 
which has received no less than nine:

Three of the chimpanzee names— Mzmetes, 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 (+) 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 synonymy 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.

(86 INDEX GENERUM MAMMALIUM. 


Genera and. subgenera are treated alike, and entries showing when 
subgenera were raised to full generic rank have been omitted. But 
famities 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 different 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; Nataline, 1892; and Natalide, 1899), but giving all the impor- 
tant forms facilities tracing the history of the name. Later refer- 
ences are in all cases indented.

on a generic name or because the latter is preoccupied.] =

9d ser., XX, p. 239). The later term Multituberculata, 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 (AwEGHi1No, Anales Mus. Nac. Buenos Aires, 
IX, p. 158, 1903), five families are recognized—Plagiaulacide, Polydolopidx, Neopla- 
giaulacidz, Promysopide, and Polymastodontide. Of these the first two are here 
recognized, the Neoplagiaulacide and Polymastodontide are combined with the 
. Plagiaulacidz, and the genera included under Promysopid:e are placed in ‘ Incertze 

sedis.’ The Bolodontide, which Ameghino combines with the Plagiaulacide, are 
recognized as a distinct family. | 

PStereognathidze 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.

b**Osborn & Earle place the group, except Oxyclenus among the Primates. The 
positive evidence of Primate relationship, aside from the merely primitive characters, 
is not very convincing, the strongest point being the character of the upper molars 
in Chriacus. * * * The type genus, Oxyclenus, shows a considerable resemblance 
to the Triisodontide, and perhaps should be included with them. In this case the 
remaining genera, Chriacus, Protochriacus, and Tricentes, will be united under Osborn 
& Earle's family Chriacide." (Marrnew, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., N. Y., IX,

zae pup WANED EX: 


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.

Coiza: koitc, to grunt—in allusion to the animal’s characteristic note. 
Coryphena Covzs, 1889. Cete, ? 


Century Dict., II, p. 1286, 1889. 

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 Coryphana, a genus of Pisces. Evidently an error, as no such name has 
been used elsewhere for a cetacean. i

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

CORRECTIONS. 


P. 20. Type, under tootnote c, add— 

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, 
or other recognized basis." 

Chironym: ‘‘A manuscript name; an unpublished name." 

Graphonym: ‘‘An onym based upon a recognizable published plate, diagnosis, or 
description." | 

Typonym: **À name based upon indication of a type species, or of a type speci- 
men." (Auk, I, p. 321, 1884.) 

P. 33. Preoccupied names, line 4, below the table, add— 

The total number of preoccupied names indicated in this index is a little more 
than 400. Of these, as already shown, about 150, or nearly 40 per cent, are 
homonyms in the class Mammalia.

Bison, Porcus, Ursulo, Vacca, and other names are quoted by Sherborn (Index 
Anim., 1902) from ‘Edwards, in M. Catesby, Carol. I, 1771,’ but are not valid 
generic names. They are simply the pre-Linnean names used by Catesby and 
republished subsequent to 1758. 

P.137. Bisonus, after line 3, insert— 
Bissonius GRAY, List Spec. Mamm. Brit. Mus., 153, 1843 (synonym of Poephagus. ) 


P.158. Capreolus, line 4, add— 
Compare ‘‘Capreolus Murr, Der Naturforscher, VII, 47, 1775."

P. 245. Drill, after explanation, add— 

**  Mandrill" seems to signify a ‘man-like Ape,’ the word ‘ Drill’ or ‘ Dril’ hav- 
ing been anciently employed in England to denote an Ape or Baboon. Thus 
in the fifth edition of Blount’s ‘ Glossographia,’ or a dictionary interpreting the 
hard words of whatsoever language now used in our refined English tongue, 

. . published in 1681, I find * Dril' . . . also a large overgrown Ape and 
Baboon, so called.’ ‘Drill’ is used in the same sense in Charleton's Onomasticon 
Zoicon, 1668. The singular etymology of the word given by Buffon seems 
hardly a probable one." (HvxrEv, Man's Place in Nature, p. 10, 1863.)

Type: ‘Das Pantherthier’. ‘‘Alle Arten unterscheiden sich von rechten Tieger 


sehr wohl, ob sie gleich meist mit dem Namen Tieger belegt werden. Sie sind 
alle kleiner als der rechte Tieger. Sie haben alle Flecken, der Schwanz ist 
bey allen weit lànger, nach Prosten sehr lang, und mit dichten Haaren

Syncera (‘Gray’) LypEKKER, Wild Oxen, Sheep, anc Goats of All Lands, 22, 
1898 (quoted in synonymy as ‘1821’). This is an error; the name dates from 
1872, not 1821.

This form of the name necessitates a slight change in the spelling of the family 
name, which should stand Tagassuide.

P.692. Trilobodon. The family name Trilobodontide was inserted from a manu- 
script list furnished by Dr. Santiago Roth. I supposed the name had been 
published, but I have been unable to find the reference.

Urus H. Smith is the wild ox of the British Isles, and is distinet from Urus 
Frisch, 1775, a genus of bison. 


P. 721. Family and subfamily endings. 

Geoffroy has called attention to the difficulty of distinguishing between the end- 
ings ine and idx when the words are spoken instead of written: 

** Plusieurs auteurs adoptent en latin inx au lieu d’ina, inés en francais au lieu 
d' iens. Ces auteurs semblent avoir oublié, en adoptant la terminaison inés, 
inex, que la langue zoologique n'est pas seulement destinée à étre écrite. 
Comment un professeur, parlant devant un nombreux auditoire, pourra-t-il étre 
compris, lorsqu'il parlera des Lémurinés (Lemurinx) comme d'une tribu de la 
famille des Lémuridés (Lemuridx), des Psittacinés ( Psittacinz) comme d'une 
division des Psittacidés ( Psittacidx)? Des mots aussi peu différents ne sont 
pour ainsi dire qu'un seul et méme mot pour l'oreille. Des terminaisons 
nettement différentes sont indispensables." (I. GEorrnov, Cat. Méth. Coll. 
Mamm., Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, p. xiii footnote, 1851.)
