Gray, 1821, 1813 etc. 



John Edward Gray during the course of his long service (1824-1875) in 

 the British Museum compiled an important series of catalogues of animals, 

 many of them dealing with mammals and containing a large number of 

 new generic names. Dr. Palmer informs the writer that Gray (in the 

 London Medical Repo-ntory, 1821) was the first to apply to the families of 

 mammals the termination -ida;, which had been suggested for the families 

 of insects by Kirby in 1815 (Palmer, 1902, p. 720). Gray divided the 

 Cetacea into two suborders " Denticete " and " Mysticete " and his classifi- 

 cation of the Ungulates is noticed below (p. 346).
