434 INDEX GENERUM MAMMALIUM. 
Mosia—Continued. 
Type: Mosia nigrescens Gray. The locality was given by Gray as South America, 
but Dobson states (Cat. Chiroptera, Brit. Mus., 364, 1878) that the type, 
which is in the British Museum, came from Amboina, Malay Archipelago.

Muletia: French mulet, mule—from the common name ‘ Tatou mulet,’ in allusion 
to the animals ears, which, however, are said to be no larger than those of some 
other species. (See Azara, Hist. Nat. Quad. Paraguay, II, 186, 1801.) 
Mungos Grorrroy & Cuvier, 1795. Fer, Viverrid:ze. 
Mag. Encyclopédique, II, 184, 187, 1795; Dict. Pittoresque Hist. Nat., IV, pt. 2, 
p. 617, 1836 (name quoted by Gervais); OarLBv, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 
No. xxxi, Oct. 9, 1835, 103. 
Mungo MurnHugAD, Brewster's Edinburgh Encyclop., XIII, 415, 1819. 
Mongo Lesson, Nouv. Tableau Régne Animal, Mamm., 63, 1842. 
Species: ‘Les Mangoustes’ ( Viverra ichneumon Linneeus, and V. mungos Gmelin). 
Geoffroy in 1803 included in the group of ‘les Mangoustes:’ V. ichneumon, from 
Egypt; V. mungo, from India; V. cafra, from Cape of Good Hope; and J. 
tetradactyla Miller, from South Africa. (Cat. Mamm., 103-106. ) 
The type of Ogilby’s genus is Herpestes vitticollis Bennett, from India. 
Mungos: Telugu mangisu, Marathi mangus, mongoose. 
Mungos Gray, 1848. Fer, Viverride. 
List Spec. Mamm. Brit. Mus., 50, 1845; Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1864, 575-577; 
Tuomas, ibid., 1882, 86 (in synonymy —type fixed). 
Species, 3: Herpestes gambianus Ogilby (type), from Gambia; H. fasciatus Des- 
marest, from Africa; and H. vitticollis Bennett, from India. 
Name preoccupied by Mungos Geoffroy & Cuvier, 1795; or by Mungos Ogilby, 1835. 
In 1864 Gray made Herpestes vitticollis (the type of Ogilby’s Mungos) the type 
of his new genus Tieniogale, and in 1882 Thomas adopted H. gambianus as the 
type of Mungos Gray. The latter genus is therefore based on the African 
species, and is distinct from Ogilby’s Mungos, based on the Indian species. 
Munifelis Muniz, 1845. Ferz, Felide. 
' Gaceta Mercantil de Buenos Aires del 9 de Octubre, 1845" (fide AmEGHINO,
