 Dr. Mearns (/. c.} has, in his paper, called attention to the fact 

 that of the names of the above three species, the first two were pre- 

 occupied, viz. arcticus Mearns 1910 nee arcticus Saussure of Coues, 

 1877, and as this name is a synonym of Hesperomys maniculatus Wag- 

 ler, arcticus cannot be employed in the nomenclature of this genus, 

 and may not be used for the race from Fort Simpson, Mackenzie, 

 Canada, and for which he proposed the name borealis. The synonymy 

 of these three forms would therefore stand as given above.
