The story of a word — Mammal. 



Pop. Sci. Monthly, lxi, Sept., 1902, pp. iM- 

 438. 

 The etymology and singular form of the 

 word Mammalia have been erroneously given 

 in all dictionaries as derived from the Latin 

 adjective »na»i«7 o/(.s and as cognate with vari- 

 ous words in living European languages. It 

 is contended that the name was first given by 

 Linnseus in 17.58, and that he formed it in 

 analogy with Animalia and derived it directly 

 from the noun Mamma and added the suffi.x 

 -alia. A history of the use of the word is 

 given. 



The first use of Mammals and 



Mammalians. 



Science (new series), xvi, No. 417, Dec. 26, 



1902, pp. 1034-1035. 



The earliest use of the word Mammals seems 



to have been made by Good in 1813 in the 



Pantalogia, and that of Mammalians by Kirby 



in 1835 in his Bridgewater treatise.
