REPORT ON THE MAMMALS. 



By Outram Bangs. 



During the year, 134 skins and skulls or skeletal parts and 

 forty-seven alcoholic specimens were received. 



The most important accession was a gift of Dr. Thomas 

 Barbour of forty specimens, which added eleven genera and a 

 number of species previously unrepresented in the collection. 

 Mr. A. B. Howell presented a small series of Calif or nian species, 

 several of which were new to the Museum, and Mr. E. W. Wilson 

 gave several Asiatic specimens, including the second known 

 example of Murina ussuriensis. 



By exchange, with the U. S. Biological Survey the Museum 

 received two species of American Lemmings, completing the repre- 

 sentation of known American forms; an exchange with Mr. A. B. 

 Howell added some Calif ornian species supplementary to those 

 presented. 



Single specimens or small series have been presented by the 

 Boston Society of Natural History, Messrs. F. K. Barbour, W. E. 

 Castle, A. E. Hodson, Luther Little, J. H. Riley, and William 

 Lord Smith.
