J 36 MK. OLDFIELD THOMAS ON THE MAMMALS 



It may be here reiterated that Linne's " in Indiis " cannot be 

 taken to mean India in the modern sense, but means hardly more 

 than " from abroad." In this case, he gives a synonymy based on 

 African and Mexican references, and then simply puts "Habitat in 

 Indiis."
