Gill. 1872. 



In 1872, tbe autbor of tbe present article, in bis "Arrangement of tbe 

 Families of Mammals,"* adopted a classification, wbicb agreed, as to tbe 

 number and constitution of tbe families, witb that of Professor Mivart 

 but differed in tbe sequence and combinations of tbose families. 



Tbe attempt was made tben to exbibit tbe comparative relations and 

 tbe subordination of tbe several groups in a more definite manner tban 

 bad been previously done (1) by tbe combination of tbe several families 

 into " superfamilies " and " suborders," and (2) by tbe division of several 

 of tbe families into " subfamilies," most of tbe last corresponding in tbe 

 main witb several tribes previously designated by Professor Gervais. 



Tbe following abstract is a reprint of tbat part of tbe wort relating 

 to tbe Insectivora, tbe references being to Professor Mivart's Memoir in 

 tbe Journal of Anatomy and Pbysiology, and Professor Gervais's His- 

 toire Naturelle des Mammiferes, already cited.
