NO. 1976. TBEE8HREW8: FAMILY TUPAIID^— LYON. 25 



I have seen no specimens of Tupaia that suggest anything like 

 melanism, so that the condition probably occurs very rarely, if at all. 



FAMILY OR SUBFAMILY NAMES OF TREESHREWS. 



Cladobatse Fitzinger (Sitz. Akad. Wiss. Math. Nat. Wien, vol. 60, 

 1869, pt. 1, 263). Genera: Hylomys, Cladohates, Dendrogale, Ptilo- 

 cercus. 



Cladobatida Haeckel, 1895 (Syst. Phylog. Wirbelth., 1895, p. 593). 

 Cladohates or Tupaja only genus mentioned. 



Cladobatidina Bonaparte, 1838 (Syn. Vert. Syst. in Nuov. Ann. Sci. 

 Nat. Bologna, vol. 2, 1838, p. 111). Used as a division of the Sori- 

 cida8, no genera mentioned. ^ 



Cladobatina Bonaparte, 1845 (Cat Met. Mamm. Europ., 1845, p. 5). 

 Used as a subfamily of the Soricidse, no genera mentioned. 



Glisoricina Pomel (Arch. Sci. Phys. Nat. Bibl. Univ. Geneve, vol. 

 9, p. 250, November, 1848). 



Glisoricinse Murray (Geog. Hist. Mamm., 1866, p. 319). Under 

 PomeFs arrangement of the insectivora he uses Glisoricinge as a group 

 name embracing Hylogale, Sorexglis, and OxygompMus (fossil). 



Tupaiadse Bell. (Todd's Cyclop. Anat. Physiol., vol. 2, 1839, p. 

 994). Work not seen. 



Tupaiidse Mivart., 1868 (Journ. Anat. Physiol., vol. 2, 1868, p. 

 145). Comprising Tupaia, Ptilocercus, Hylomys. 



Tupaina Gray, 1825 (Thomson's Ann. Philos., vol. 26, November,

 the one genus Tupaia. 



Tupajidse Schlosser (Beitr. Palaort. Oester.-Ungarns, vol. 6, 1887,

Tupayse Peters, 1863 (Abhandl. kon. Akad Wissensch. Berlin, 

 1863, p. 20). As a group name for Cladohates, Ptilocercus, and Hylo- 

 gale (probably intended for Hylomys) . 



Tupayidse Gill (Arrang. Fam. Mamm. Smiths. Misc. Coll., No. 230, 

 p. 19, 1872). Another spelling of Tupaiidce Mivart. 



NAMES THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED FOR TREESHREWS USED IN A 

 GENERIC SENSE, OR NAMES OF ESTABLISHED GENERA TO WHICH 

 TREESHREWS HAVE BEEN ERRONEOUSLY ASSIGNED. 



Chladobates. — A typograpliical error for Cladohates. It occurs in 

 Schinz, Naturgeschichte und Abbildungen der Siiugethiere, 1824, p. 

 87. Included species javanicus, vittatus, tana, ferrugineus. 



Cladobates. — This term was first proposed by Cuvier (Dents des 

 Mammiferes, p. 60, pi. 17) in 1-825. It is used synonymously with 

 Sorex-glis, and was probably considered by him to be more euphoni- 

 ous or more descriptive of the animals. It contamed three species — 

 tana, ferruginea, javanica. It is thus seen to be a pure synonym
