370 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST. SOCIETY, Vol. XXV. 



With the help of Blanford's Mammals, and Wroughton's forth- 

 comiiig list, the proper identification of every name should be 

 quite withou.t difficult}^, while the complexity resulting from putting 

 the original names, and thus perhaps rising several different names 

 in a single genus, is avoided. 



The same difficulty is treated in the opposite way in L^^on and 

 Osgood's Catalogue of types in the United States National Museum, 

 1909, but that is so large and important a work as to carry its own 

 explanations with it. 



It should be understood that the publication of the present list is 

 only in preparation for the more complete paper by Mr. Wroughton, 

 who has thought it better that the selection of lectotypes should be 

 done by the person officially responsible for their custody.
