40 INDEX GENERUM MAMMALIUM. 
PLURAL SUBGENERIC NAMES. 
Some authors have designated within a genus one or more subgen- 
eric groups, and to the sections thus formed applied names in plural 
form. These names are occasionally quoted in the singular by other 
authors as valid subgenera or genera, being assigned to the author 
who originally formed the group, and dated from his publication. 
Thus Lydekker in * Deer of all Lands,’ 1898 (p. 125), quotes matus 
Giebel, 1859, as one of the synonyms of Dar. Reference to Giebel’s 
* Süugethiere? shows that the name was originally published /nati, 
including Cervus dama and C. somonensis. Wagner also recognized a 
number of subdivisions of /7/;s under plural names, e. g., Leontnae, 
Servalinae, and Tigrinae, and these have recently been revived by 
Grevé under the forms Leonina, Servalina, and Tigrina. The rule 
adopted in this index has been to ignore plural names as having no 
more status than common names unless subsequently used in the sin- 
gular, when they date from the later author, although in such cases a 
reference to the earlier name is added. Following are a few of these 
names:

GENERA BELONGING TO OTHER CLASSES. 
The last group of rejected names to be considered is that comprising 
those accompanied by descriptions and based on valid species, but now 
known to belong to groups other than mammals, and hence not properly 
entitled to a place in this index. These are mainly designations of 
certain fossils first described from fragmentary remains, the relation- 
ship of which could not be determined with certainty. This group con- 
tains two kinds of names: (a) Those given to forms originally deseribed
