the International Commission to be acted upon under the plenary power 
authority, granted by the Monte Carlo Congress, to suspend the rules 
in the Code of Nomenclature. This list is published herewith without

29) In the following list the names are arranged in the following 
order: a. Preserve; b. for; c. genotype; d. instead of; e. see explanatory 
notes that follow list. 
In accordance with the permission given to Zoologists at the Monaco 
Congress to submit to the International Commission on Nomenclature 
names which are recommended for fixation by Fiat, we the undersigned 
Mammalogists beg to present the following sixteen names which we 
recommend as Nomina conservanda in the class with which we are 
concerned. The general reasons for the presentation of such names 
haye been so often published that we do not need to repeat them here:

stead of Sema or Pan; e. see note T. 
a. Cercopithecus; b. Guenon monkeys of Africa; c. Samia mona 
Schr.; d. Lasiopyga; e. T 1. 
a. Chiromys; b. Aye-Aye; c. Sciurus madagascariensis Gmel.; 
d. Daubentonia; e.?. 
a. Coelogenys; b. Paca; c. Mus paca Linn.; d. Agouti or Cuni-

a. Echidna; b. Spiny Anteater; c. Myrmecophaga aculeata Shaw; 
d. Tachyglossus; e.5. 
a. Galeopithecus; b. Philippine Colugo; c. Lemur volans Linn.;

a. Gazella; b. Gazelles in modern sense; c. Capra dorcas Linn.;

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 earn sk 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.
