1902.] Allen, Mammal Names Proposed by Oken. 379 



Schinz, 1821, and probably not Felis brasiliensis F. Cuvier, 

 1828. 



P[anthera] paraguayensis (sub Felis), p. 1052. In- 

 cludes (i) the 'Ocelot,' which he describes at length, and (2) 

 the 'Chibi-guazu,' the latter after Azara. If the Ocelot can 

 be excluded on the ground of its having been previously 

 named, only Azara's ' Chibigouazou ' would be left as the basis 

 of Oken's paraguayensis, which antedates Felis mitis F. Cu- 

 vier (1820), Felis wicdi Schinz (1821 = Felis macroura Weid, 

 1826), and other names later applied to practically the same 

 animal. 



P[anthera] mexicana (sub Felis), p. 1054. In part, and 

 so far as it has any substantial basis, this is the same as Felis 

 mexicana Desmarest, 1816 (ex. Buffon, Hist. Nat., Suppl., Ill, 

 227, pi. xxxiv), and hence the two names are of even date. 

 Also = Felis novcz hispanice Schinz, 1825. It is of course, as 

 Buffon believed, the Serval. 



Leo niger (sub Felis), p. 1070. The black phase of the 

 'Jagouarondi.' Felis jaguarundi Fischer, 1814. 



L[eo] griseus (sub Felis), p. 1070. The 'Jagouarondi' 

 of Azara; hence =- Felis jaguarundi Fischer, 1814. Not Leo- 

 par dus griseus Gray, 1842 = Felis griseus Gray, 1867. 



L[eo] brunneus (sub Felis), p. 1070. The 'Pajero' or 

 Pampas Cat = Felis pajeros Desmarest of same date. The 

 last name having probably slight priority in date of publica- 

 tion, and also having obtained currency while the other has 

 not, is to be preferred. 



Did[elphys] paraguayensis, p. 1147. As already shown 

 (antea, pp. 251, 267), this name is based on Azara's 'Micoure* 

 premier,' and hence supplants D. azarce Temminck, 1825. 



Didfelphys] mes-americana, p. 1152. As already shown 

 (antea, p. 251) this is the earliest name for the large opossums 

 of northern Mexico.
