Mr. Hollister of the Washington Museum has recently (P. Biol. Soc. 

 Wash, XXIX. p. 126, 1916.) pointed out that the name Rattus was 

 employed for the rats in 1803, thus antedating, by very many years the 

 Generic r.ame Epimys instituted by Trouessart in 1881. The necessity for 

 this change is regrettable, but as it has to be accepted it is fortunate that 

 the revised name is a better one than Epimys.
