GENERAL WORKS. 



Harlan (Richard, M. D.) Fauna Americana : being a description of the niammiferous anl 

 mals inhabiting North America. Philadelphia : published by Anthony Finley. J. Hard- 

 ing, printer. 1825. [tivo, 318 pp. 11.] 



Dr. Harlan admitted in the " Family Insectivora " (p. 24) four genera and ten specie*,. 

 viz : — 



Sorex (p. 24), 4 sp. 



Scalops (p. ?-0), 2 sp. (= 1 sp.). 



Condylura (34), 3sp. (= 1 sp.). 



Talpa (p. 41), 1 sp. (erroneously introduced). 



The Talpa Enropea, Lin., was admitted, without the slightest criticism or comment,, 

 into the American fauna solely on the authority of the record of a mole (" Talpa 

 amcricana, black mole, Bartram's manuscript, notes," fide Harlan, p. 43) in a diary, 

 or "a calendar of natural histor3%" kept by William Bartram, and which was, as Har- 

 lan saidj "never intended for publication." Doubtless, Bartram had reference simply 

 to the common mole of Philadelphia {Scalops aqiiaticus). Harlan's description was 

 adapted from Desmavest. Nevertheless, a recent uncritical European writer (Dr. J. L. 

 Fitzinger) has attributed a species to this country, nothwithstanding its repudiation by 

 all other authors.
