  because 
  they 
  were 
  written 
  contemporaneously. 
  It 
  cannot 
  

   be 
  determined 
  now 
  which 
  author, 
  or 
  editor, 
  copied 
  from 
  the 
  other. 
  

   The 
  first 
  Linnaean 
  reference 
  to 
  Baird's 
  tapir 
  is 
  by 
  Zimmermann 
  in 
  

   1780 
  (supra 
  cit.), 
  who 
  considered 
  it 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  the 
  Brazilian 
  species. 
  

   Zimmermann's 
  Panamd 
  record 
  for 
  the 
  tapir 
  is 
  based 
  either 
  on 
  Oviedo 
  

   or 
  other 
  pre-Linnaean 
  authors 
  who 
  quoted^Oviedo. 
  His 
  Yucatdn 
  

   record 
  is 
  almost 
  certainly 
  derived 
  from 
  the 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  tapir 
  in 
  

   "Dampier's 
  Voyages,"
