14. “Mexican Shrew, Sorex mexicanus ” Turton, = Tucan, Geomys 
mexicanus (Turton), Syst. Nat., 1802, p. 72, antedates Geomys mexicanus 
(Lichtenstein), Abhan. K. Akad. Wiss. Berl., 1827, p. 113. 
15. Florida Gopher, Geomys tuza (Ord), Guth. Geog., 1815, p. 292, 
has unmistakable right of priority over Geomys pinetis Rafinesque, 
Amer. Mon. Mag., 1817, p. 45. 
16. Pennsylvania Meadow-Mouse, Arvicola pennsylvanica (Ord), 
Guth. Geog., 1815; p. 292 (foot-note), undoubtedly refers to same spe- 
cies named A. riparius by Ord in 1825. Rafinesque’s Mynomes pra- 
tensis, Amer. Mon. Mag., II, 1817, p. 45, further necessitates retention 
of Ord’s first name. 
17. “Small Black Squirrel” (=Black Gray Squirrel), Seiurus carolin- 
ensis pennsylvanicus (Ord), Guth. Geog., 1815, p. 292. 
Ord, in a foot-note, defines the Western Alleghanies of Pennsylvania 
as the type habitat of this race. As such it represents the S. leucotis 
of Gapper, Zool. Jour., V, 1830, 206, over which Ord’s name has pri- 
ority. 
18. Eastern Red Squirrel, Seiurus hudsonius (Erxleben), Syst. Reg. 
Anim., 1777, 414, antedates S. hudsonius Pallas, Nov. Sp. Glir., 1778, 
376. Credit for this name has been wrongly given to Pallas. 
19. Hudson Bay Flying Squirrel, Seiuropterus volucella sabrinus 
(Shaw), Gen. Zool., II, 1801, p. 157. Sciurus hudsonius Gmelin, Syst. 
Nat. I, 1788, 158, can never stand for any Sciuropterus, owing to 
Gmelin’s double use of it in the above citation. 
20. Columbia Gray Squirrel, Seiurus griseus Ord, Guth. Geog., 1815, 
p. 292 (Mss. marg. note of author); ibid, Jour. de Phys., LXxxVIU, 
1818, 150, antedates Sciurus fossor Peale, Mam. U. S. Expl. Exp., 
1848, p. 55. The Californian subspecies will stand S. griseus nigripes 
(Bryant). 
21. Red-Breasted Squirrel, Sciurus rubicatus Ord (same references as 
above for S. griseus), antedates Sciurus douglasst Bachman, Proc. Zool. 
Soc., 1838, p. 99. ; 
22. Mexican Deer, Cariacus virginianus mexicanus (Gmelin), Syst. 
Nat., 1788, p. 179, is based on the “ Teuthlalmacame,” Hernandez, 
Hist. Mex., 1651, pp. 324, 325. The description of the latter does ker 
apply to the Prong-horned Antelope, Antilocapra americana, $O asser" d 
by Berlandier (Baird, Mam. N. Amer., 1857, p- 666; Alston, Pom 
Cent. Amer., 1879, pp, 82, 113)- Hernandez’s figure of the Teu! = 
macame (p. 324), whether of the Deer or the Antelope {at age 
both), cannot affect the description, which applies to the Deer, as also 
Pennant and Gmelin have construed it.
