character can be entirely free of errors, loul 

 -with the great care taken in the preparation 

 of the manuscript (see p. 11) they are doubt- 

 less reduced as nearly to a minimum as can 

 reasonably be expected. The work embodies 

 the results of a vast amount of labor, for 

 which mammalogists can not be too grateful; 

 it has set a high standard for future workers 

 in the same line to emulate; and has placed 

 in the hands of experts in nomenclature an 

 invaluable aid in their work. J. A. A.
