*Miller & Rehn in their List, p. 277, give the date of this publication as 

 1822 ; Rehn in his Review of the genus, 1. c. p. 160, gives it as 1820, and Palmer 

 in his Index Gen. Mam m., as 1821. The paper was read before the Society 

 the 22d February, 1820, and it is reasonable to believe it was published in 

 that year.
