* Mons. Desmarest, and several other zoologists, probably not consulting the 

 original description of MM. Diard and Duvaucel, supposed that these naturalists 

 have proposed the name of Sorexglis as a generic designation ; while their descrip- 

 tion of this animal in the Asiatic Researches is entitled : " Sur une nouvelle espece 

 de Sorex, Sorex Glis " (D. D.), which shows clearly that they considered it as a 

 species of Sorex, and not as a new genus. (Asiatic Researches, XIV. p. 472.)
