MAY, 1903. A LIST OF MAMMALS ELLIOT. 181 



employed in any other, might with profit be also made applicable to 

 paleontological genera, in which case Odocoileus, even if it could be 

 proved to stand for an animal akin to the Virginian deer, would not 

 be available in Mammalogy, and DORCELAPHUS, Glog. Handb. 

 Naturg., 1841, p. 140 would be the proper generic term for our white- 

 tailed deer. To those who prefer to adopt paleontological genera 

 in Mammalogy, Anoglochis, Croiz. and Jobert. Oss. Foss. Cervidae, 

 1828, antedating Odocoileus, as suggested by Lydekker, is respectfully 

 submitted. Under any circumstances, Odocoileus, as at present 

 denned, is most unsatisfactory.
