Mammals. 33 



Forrer (A.). [1880] 



94 small Mammals from Oregon and California, the Ties Marias 

 Islands, and Mazatlan and Durango, Mexico. Purchased from him or 

 presented by Dr. P. Du Cane Godman. 



Cf. "Biologia Centrali-Americana," Mammals, SuppL, p. 203, and 

 Proc. Zool. Soc, 1882, p. 371. 



Fortnum (C. D. E.), Trustee. [1842] 



16 Mammals from South Australia. Presented. 



Foster (W.). [1901] 



288 Mammals from Sapucay, Paraguay. Purchased. 



The series of Mammals formed by Mr. Foster at Sapucay, not far 

 from Asuncion, is of very special interest and value owing to its repre- 

 senting the forms described in Azara's " Quadrupedes de Paraguay," 1801, 

 and " Quadnipedos del Paraguay," 1802, which were obtained in the 

 same region. Azara's animals have received names from various compilers, 

 and to these names all sorts of different forms have been assigned without 

 any naturalist having actual Paraguayan specimens to verify the deter- 

 minations by. For such verification Mr. Fosters specimens, as being 

 actual topotypes, are of the greatest service. 



Types of the following new species are also included in the scries 

 Molossus cerastes and M.fosteri; Thricomys fosteri.

 N. H. (7), viii., p. 435, 1901). 



Frankfort Museum. 



#ee Euppell, Dr. E. 



Fraser (Louis). [1846] 



Zoological Traveller. Author of the " Zoologia Typica," 1849. 



134 Mammals from Fernando Po, Tunis and Ecuador. Purchased. 



The collections from the last-named locality were worked out by 

 Mr. R. F. Tomes, and a further number of the specimens, including the 

 types, have been recently received with the Tomes collection. (See Proc. 

 Zool. Soc, 1858, p. 546 ; 1860, pp. 211 and 260.) 



Mr. Fraser discovered a very large number of new Mammals of all 

 orders, the most notable being the genus Anomalurus (Waterhouse, 

 Proc. Zool. Soc, 1842, p. 124). In Ecuador he was the original discoverer 

 of Cxnolestes, which under the pre-occupied name of Hyracodon (Tomes, 

 Proc. Zool. Soc, 1863, p. 50) remained a puzzle to zoologists until it was 

 re-discovered in 1895. (See above, Child, G.) 



Gadow (Dr. Hans). [1903] 



61 Mammals from Mexico, including the types of three mice of the 

 genus Feromyscus. Presented. 



Garlepp (G.). [1898] 



28 Mammals from the high country near Mount Sahama, Bolivia 

 Presented by Oldfield Thomas. 



This was the first collection received by the Museum from the 

 elevated basin of Lake Titicaca, and contained the types of four new 

 species, the most interesting being those of Conepatus rex, ChinchUlvia 

 (g. n.) sahamx, and Cavia niata, Thos.
