Having already given, under head of the genus, a sufficient description 
of the only recognized species, we do not consider it necessary to enter into 
further detail respecting so well-known an animal, concerning which we have 
no new information to offer. 
BIBLIOGRAPHICAL APPENDIX. 
[NorE.—Besides the numerous general treatises already cited as bearing in due part upon North 
American Murida, the following special works and papers relating to the Muride at large may be noted. 
The American literature of the subject is believed to have been very fully indexed ; otherwise, the list 
is supposed to be far from complete. Many of the foreign titles are borrowed from Carus and Engelmann, 
and those which have not been verified by actual reference may not prove to be literally correct. ]
