« Recently in the « Proceedings» of the Biological 
Society of Washington Dr. M. W. Lyon, Jr., showed con- 
clusively that the name Pithecus Geoffroy and Cuvier (1795 ), 
adopted by the late Dr. D. G. Elliot in his « Review of 
the Primates » was untenable as a generic name, being in- 
determinate, lyon concludes. with the statement: « Hence 
Pithecus must be dropped as the technical name of the ma- 
caques and the more familiar Macaca be restored », ( p. 49 ).

apparently new were collected on the Roosevelt Brazilian 
Expedition in 1913-1914, in the State of. Matto Grosso, 
Brazil. Of the others two { Oecomyemilial and Proechimys 
boimensis ) are from eastern Brazil, one (Oecomys florenciae)

lected on the Roosevelt Brazilian Expedition with Field No- 
tes by Leo E. Miller. 
«In «Through the Brazilian Wilderness» Colonel Roose- 
velt has given a most enlightening account of the country 
traversed by his expedition with valuale natural history 
field notes, while Leo E. Miller, mammologist of the expe- 
dition, has supplemented this account with a brief but 
most interesting description of the country where most of 
the maminals were collected, namely, the vicinity of Tri- 
nidad, and the Grand Chaco in Paraguay, and the country 
bordering the upper Rio Paraguay and the Rio Gy-Paraná 
in western Matto Grosso... The collection includes nearly 
450 specimens, representing 97 species... The principal pre- 
vious collections made within the same area those of Johann 
Natterer, during the years 1825-1829, from which many new 
species were briefly described by Andreas Wagner in 1845, 
and more fully elaborated in 1847-48. In 1883 August 
von Pelzeln published a formal report on Natterer’s Col- 
lection of mammals, as he had previously done (in 1868 ) 
for the birds. 
In 1882-86, Herbert H. Smith spent several years at 
Chapada, Matto Grosso, making extensive collections of ver- 
tebrates and insects... the mammals, reptiles and batrachians
