and Chrysochloris; P. Z. S., 1915, p. 347—354, pl. III, IV). Om Talpa siges, 
at den har baade Ligheder og Uligheder med Gymnura; men »there can, 
however, I think be little doubt but that Talpa is allied to Gymnura and may 
conveniently be left in the old order Insectivora« (p. 349). Om Sorex siges: 
»In certain features Sorex resembles Centetes even more than it does Talpa, 
an examination of the nose of a late foetus would probably reveal some 
interesting facts« (p. 349). Om Centetes er Dommen: »Whether Centetes 
Should be placed with Gymnura and Talpa in the order. Insectivora, or pla- 
ced in a separate order of the Cænorhinata (errore Coenorhinata), the evidence 
from the structures in the nose does not conclusively show, and it will there- 
fore be well at present to leave Centetes and its allies in a very distinct 
family or suborder of the Insectivora« (p. 351). Om Chrysochloris siges: 
»Chrysochloris, which has generally been regarded as allied to Centetes, is 
Seen to be in no way closely related to it. Like Tupaia, Chrysochloris be- 
longs to the AÅrchæorhinata, but it cannot belong to the order Menotyphla 
(2: Cladobatidæ & Macroscelididæ). The resemblance of its nasal structures 
to those of the Diprotodont marsupials is puzzling, and until further work is 
done on the development of Chrysochloris, one must hesitate in discussing 
its affinities further. ..……. n the meantime I have no hesitation in removing 
it from the insertivere and mug: it in a distinct order, for which the name 
Chrysochloroidea, proposed by Dobson (3: kun som Navn for en »super- 
family«), may be retained« (p. 353). bule gives pr nærmere Oplys- 
ninger om Stillingen for Cladobates og Macroscelides: »Tupaia and Macro- 
Scelides agree in having a Polyprotodont marsupial type of structure, and 
Notyphla to which they belong must be removed far from the Insectivora and 
placed in quite a different phylum and not far from SÅ early Marsupials« 
(p. 353). 
Det er kun nogle faa af Insektædernes Slægter, Broom har undersøgt 
med Hensyn til Jacobsons Organ; men allerede derefter skulde der altsaa 
ædere, nær Pun ngdyrene. Chrysochloris skal stilles i en egen Orden 
Centetes skal stilles i en egen Orden eller kan staa i en Underorden blandt 
nsektædere, er tvivlsomt. Derimod kan Talpa nok beholde sin Plads blandt 
Insektædere. enge Sorex kan blive blandt Insektæderne; men dens Stilling
