Agrees with Allen (Bull. Amer. mus. nat. hist., xvi, pp. 162 and 168, 

 July 1, 1002) that Notophorus should be considered a synonym of Tayassu. 

 Regards the renaming of Alces (Allen, Bull. Amer. mus. nat. hist., xvi. 

 p. 159, duly 1, 1002) as unnecessary, but would restrict the application of 

 the "one-letter rule" to generic names. The name Duma not valid for 

 the Virginia deer. Nyctimene Bechstein antedates Cephalotes Geoffroy.
