* ** [ quite fail to follow Dobson's reasons for upsetting his previous perfectly cor- 
rect adoption of Murina instead of Harpiocephalus for the name of the present genus. 
Both by ‘page priority’ and the opinion of the ‘first reviser’ (Dobson, in his earlier 
work) Murina should be adopted for the genus, whether Harpiocephalus is subgeneri- 
cally synonymous with it or not." (THomas. ) 
f The figure is marked Musanga fasciata, but the generic name used in the text is 
Paradoxurus.
