Paracyon (‘Brookes’) Gray, 1827. * Marsupialia, Dasyurid:e. 
Gray, in Griffith's Cuvier, Anim. Kingdom, V, 192, 1827; List Spec. Mamm. 
Brit. Mus., 97, 1845. 
Peracyon Gray, Ann. Philos, XXVI, 340, 1825 (nomen nudum); List Spec. 
Mamm. Brit. Mus., p. xxu, 1843. 
Type: Didelphis cynocephala Harris, from Tasmania. ‘‘ Mr. Brookes, it is under- 
stood, proposed to make this species a type of a new genus, to be named 
Paracyon. . M. Temminck has since done so, and applied to it the name Thyla- 
cynus." (GRAY, l. e, 1827.) Paracyon is therefore antedated by Thylacynus, 
although both were published in the same year. 
Paracyon: Apparently from z«p«&, beside, near; «ocv, dog; but the word is 
evidently a misprint for Peracyon, derived from 7z7?p«, pouch, and «oov, dog.
