1 8 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS: ZOOLOGY. 



Dyomedariits Wagler, Naturl. Syst. der Amphib., 1830, 31 (to replace 

 Aiccheuia Illiger, preoccupied). 



The name Lama (Frisch, 1775 ; G. Cuvier, 1798) has priority over the, for 

 a long time, more current name Auchenia (Illiger, 181 1), and should be 

 adopted for the genus, as long since shown by Thomas (/. c). Of the four 

 forms of these animals commonly recognized, the Guanaco, Llama, Alpaca, 

 and Vicuna, only the first comes within the scope of the present work. 



Opinions differ as to whether these animals are to be treated as distinct 

 species, or whether they are all to be considered as races of a single 

 species. Mr. Thomas (/. c.) has given his reasons for considering the 

 Vicuna as a distinct species, and the Llama and Alpaca as merely domes- 

 ticated races of the Guanaco, thus recognizing two species.
