PEEFACE. 



THE first part of this Catalogue, published in January last, con- 

 tained the specimens belonging to the Orders PRIMATES, CHIROPTERA, 

 INSECTIVORA, CARNIVORA, and RODENTIA. The present part is devoted 

 to the Order UNGTJXATA, Sub-order ARTIODACTYLA. Of this sub- 

 order the JBovidce, Cervidce, and the Anoplotheriidce have especially 

 required much careful study and revision ; nor have the other 

 groups been catalogued without a very large expenditure of time 

 and labour. In this task the author has been greatly assisted by 

 Mr. William Davies, whose intimate knowledge of the history of 

 the Collection is coeval with the acquisition of at least a large 

 proportion of the specimens composing it. 



The Perissodaotyla and allied forms, and the Proboscidea, Sirenia, 

 Cetacea, Edentata, and Marsupialia still remain to be catalogued. 



It may be well to state here that these Catalogues do not in any 

 way lay claim to be complete lists of all the fossil genera and 

 species, but only of such as are represented in the Collection.
