bracing the Myoxi and other forms) ;" (11) Lagomys (an unnatu- 

 ral and undefined combination of forms with squat bodies, but 

 typified by species of Arctomys) ;-^ (12) Procavia (equivalent to 

 Hyrax of Herrmann);^* and (13) Itosmarus.^° 



New names were also conferred on genera retained with old 

 limits because they did not come up to the ideas of Storr in re- 

 spect to purity or aptness. These were, (1) Cataphractus (= 

 Dasypus, Linn.); (3) Pholidotiis (= Mayiis, Linn.); (3) Aries 

 (= Ovis, Linn.);^^ (4) Taurus {==. Bos, Linn.); and (5) Diodon 

 (=: Monodon, Linn.).^^ 



The elimination of the species necessarily connected new ideas 

 with the old genera from which they were rejected, and thus the 

 following were modified, but by implication rather than by distinct 

 diagnoses: (1) Simia (by the rejection of Frosimia, Procebus, 

 and Tarsius)] (2) Ursus (by the exclusion of Meles, Gulo, and 

 Procyon)', (3) Ganis (Hysena being excluded); (4) Viverra (by 

 the elimination of the Nasiice) ; (5) Mustela (by the removal of 

 Gulo) ; (6) Mus (by the rejection of his " Glires'^ and "Lago- 

 myes'^).^^ 



The other genera were retained from previous authors, viz. :

 many years afterwards, by Rafinesque in accordance with the same prin-
