48 INDEX GENERUM MAMMALIUM. 
PERSONAL NAMES. 
Proper names have been utilized less, perhaps, for mammals than for 
some other groups, the total number, as shown in the following list, 
being about 80. Prior to 1850 only 11 such names had been proposed, 
but between 1864 and 1866 Gray added 11 more, and in the last four 
years (1899-1903) Ameghino has added 27. Of the total number, Gray . 
has proposed 13 and Ameghino 33. Not only have eminent naturalists 
been honored in this way, but governors, diplomats, officers of the 
army and navy, and collectors have also been remembered.
