24 APPENDIX. 



Hernandez' description cannot be made to fit it, we must base conclu- 

 sions on the text. As has been stated, Pennant's interpretation, on 

 which Gmelin's description of C. mexicanus is based, makes the case 

 decisive in favor of regarding the "Teuhtlalmacame" as the oldest 

 literary reference to Cariacus virginianus mexicanus (Gmel. ). 



"Spring-back Deer Cervus ." 1 fail to find any reference to such 



a name in literature.

Exped. , 1814, 167, No. Tj.^Cervus macrotis Say, Long's Exped., ii,

We are here again confronted with the question why Ord refrained 

 from giving specific names to animals so fully described in the History 

 of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It is evident however that unless a 

 species had been noticed by other writers, or was minutely described, as 

 in the case of the "Columbia Marmot," or unmistakably distinct from 

 any other then known form, as the "Ash-coloured Rat," Ord did not 

 impose a technical name. See also in this connexion note on pape 307 

 and foot note page 292, Columbia Gray Squirrel, etc.

 GENUS ANTILOPE. 



"AMERICAN OR PRONG-HORNED ANTELOPE ANTILOPE AMERICANUS." 



=Antilocapra ameticana Ord, Jour, de Phys., 1818, 149. The above 

 name, with Ord's quotations and remarks on page 308, constitute the 

 original description of this remarkable species. In the later reference 

 Ord established for it a new genus which has since been made the 

 type of the family Antilocapridce. See my notes (infra) to page 308 ; 

 also Dr. Coues' Lewis & Clark, 1893 ed., p. 849. 



"Barbarian Antelope Antilope dorcas." Henderson's book, on which 

 this so called antelope is based is unobtainable in Philadelphia. It may- 

 have been the Wood Brocket. See note (infra) on Big-horned Sheep.

 many earlier authors, from the Siberian Argali, Ovis argali. Cuvier,
