1 Cercopithecus has been invariably used for the Guenons up to 1911, and its 
transfer to the Tamarins only depends on Gronovius, a doubtfully binomial writer. 
2 Daubentonia is almost unknown to general writers, the use of Chiromys 
haying been nearly universal. 
3 The names objected to are both known in connection with other animals, 
and the use of either of them for the Paca is most confusing. 
4 Technically Dasypus ought to be transferred to the Tatous. 
5 Echidna has been used by all classes of writers. It would have to be with- 
drawn from Ichthyology. 
6 The use of Cynocephalus involves a particularly objectionable transfer. 
7 An early reference by Pallas in connection with Oryx gaxella makes it 
advisable to affix the name Gaxella to the Gazelles before it is attempted to be used 
for the Gemsbucks. 
8 The transfer of the name Callithrix from the Titi monkeys (Callicebus) to 
the Marmosets is highly confusing. The name should be dropped altogether. 
9 Hippotragus has been widely used; Oxanna is practically unknown. 
10 The use for the Mountain Chinchillas of Vixeaccia, the vernacular name ot 
Lagostomus, is most objectionable. 
11 By the technical rules Nycteris would have to be transferred to the American 
Hairy-tailed Bats (Lasiurus).
