Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., 3d ser., VIII, 63, July, 1861. 
New name for Potamogale Du Chaillu, 1860. ‘‘I suspect that: it is a Glirine 
animal . . . As M. Du Chaillu has not characterized his genus Potamogale,

propose . . . as I believe that it is necessary to form a genus for it, to call it 
Mystomys."  (GRAv.) Type: Mystomys velox (=Cynogale veloz Du Chaillu), 
from western equatorial Africa.

Gray's paper was read before the Zoological Society on June 25 and was subse- 
quently published in the * Proceedings. Practically the same paper appeared 
in the Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. for July, 1861, where the name is spelled 
Mystomys. The latter form probably antedates Mythomys.
