IV. Mammals of Special Districts. 



Note. — The chief purpose of the following Lists is to show the general character of the Fauna of the 

 (lifTercnt districts, not to supply a minute or exhaustive enumeration of their species. Wherever, therefore, 

 I have found a special Fauna already made out for a district by any naturalist or traveller of eminence, 

 I have not thought it necessary to take much pains to make it more perfect, unless when characteristic 

 species were omitted ; neither have I attempted to make the arrangement or the nomenclature of these 

 Faunas correspond with each other or my own list. A reference to the Synonymes in that list will easily 

 extricate any discrepancy in the names, and I have thought that I could employ the time which would 

 have been required for reconciling these, more profitably both for the reader and myself. 



To save space the authorities for the names are not given here unless in special cases. The reader 

 is referred for them to the preceding Synonymic List.
