Cercopithecus kephalopterus (p. i85)=Semnopithecus cephalopterus 



(Zimm.) auct. 



Cercopithecus mulatta (p. 195) = ? 

 Simia porcaria (p. 197) ?; probably not Simia porcaria Hasselquist, 



1762. 

 Cebus polykomos (II, p. 202, III, p. 272) =iColobus polykomos (Zimm.) ; 



the name is usually ascribed to "Schreber" or Illiger. 

 Lemur lori (p. 2ii)=Nycticebus tardigradus (Linn.). 

 Didelphis karkinophaga (p. 226). 

 Didelphis kenguru (p. 23i)=Yerboa gigantea Zimm., i777=Macropus 



giganteus (Zimm.) auct. 



Canis zerda (p. 247)=Fennecus zerda (Zimm.). 

 Viverra manguste (p. 286)=Viverra ichneumon Linn. 

 Latra [misprint for Lutra) minima (p. 3i7)=Chironectes minima 



(Zimm.) . 

 Cavia patagonum (p. 328)=Cavia patagonica Shaw, 1801 Dolichotis 



patagona (Zimm.). 

 Sciurus inauris (p. 344)=Myoxus inauris Zimmermann, III, 1783, 275, 



based on Earless Dormouse, Pennant, II, p. 426=? Myoxus 



africanus Shaw, 1801 = ? Myoxus capensis F. Cuvier, 1829. 

 Myoxus chrysurus (p. 352)=Loncheres chrysurus (Ztwm.)=Echimys 



cristatus Desm., 1817. 



Dipus hudsonius (p. 358)=Zapus hudsonius (Zimm.). 

 Sorex minutissimus (p. 3 8 5)= Sorex minimus Linn. 

 Sorex surinamensis (p. 386) =Surinamische' Spitzmaus of Schreber= 



Sorex surinamensis Gmelin, i788=Peramysbrevicaudatus (ErxL). 

 Erinaceus tendrac (p. 393)=Ericulus setosus (Schreber, 1778), plate 



name. 

 Erinaceus tanrec (p. 394)=Centetes ecaudatus (Schreber, 17 78), plate 



name. 

 Manati gigas (p. 426) Rhytina gigas (Zimm.). The generic name 



Manati is of even date with Manatus Storr. 

 Antilope marsupialis (p. 427)=Antilope euchore Zimmermann (ex 



Forster MS.), Geog. Gesch. Ill, 1783, 2 69 =Antidorcas marsupi- 

 alis (Zimm.). As the authors of 'The Book of Antelopes' (Vol. 



Ill, 1897-98, p. 58) freely admit, the name marsupialis has 



three years' priority over euchore, however unfortunate the fact. 

 Phoca fasciata (III, 1783, p. 277)=Histriophoca fasciata (Zimm.}. 



Of Zimmermann's 26 new names 12 are in current use, and 

 one other clearly has priority; of the remaining 13, three are 

 not readily identifiable, and the remaining 10 are synonyms 

 .of earlier names given by Linnaeus, Schreber, and Erxleben. 

 Thus 23 of Zimmermann's 26 new names are identifiable 

 a pretty favorable commentary on the character of his 

 work and standing as a naturalist.
