168. Note on the Names of a few South American Mammals. <Proc. Biol. Soc. 



Washington, XIV, pp. 183-185, Dec. 12, 1901. 



Several species names date from G. Fischer, 1814, which are usually attributed to later 

 authors; several names attributed to Wied were first published by Schinz (1821), or by Kuhl, 

 or by Temminck; Gray's names (1827) for certain genera of bats antedate later names now 

 current, etc. 



169. A Further Note on the Generic Names of the M ephitinse. <Proc. Biol. Soc. 



Washington, XV, pp. 59-60, March 22, 1902.

170. A Further Note on the Name of the Argentine Viscacha. <Proc. Biol. Soc. 



Washington, XV, 196, Oct. 10, 1902. 



Viscaccia dates from Oken, 1816, instead of from Schinz, 1825; the specific name chilensis 

 Oken (1816) has priority over maximus Desmarest (1817) — hence Viscaccia chilensis Oken 

 for the Argentine Viscacha.

174. Zimmermann's 'Zoologise Geographicae ' and ' Geographische Geschichte' con- 



sidered in their relation to Mammalian Nomenclature. <Bull. Amer. Mus. 

 Nat. Hist., XVI, pp. 13-22, Feb. 1, 1902. 



Various names in the 'Geschichte' (1780) were previously employed in the 'Geographicae' 

 (1777) and thus take an earlier date; others antedate Erxleben (1777) to whom they are 

 usually accredited. Dama virginiana Zimm., 1777, is considered tenable for the common 

 Virginia Deer. Dama lichtensteini (p. 20) is a new name for Cervus mexicanus Lichtenstein, 

 preoccupied by Cervus mexicanus Zimmermann and Gmelin, which is shown to have been 

 based mainly on the Prong-horn (Antilocapra americana). 



175. The Generic and Specific Names of some of the Otariidse. <Bull. Amer. Mus. 



Nat. Hist., XVI, pp. 111-118, March 15, 1902. 



Eumetopias stelleri (Lesson, 1828) becomes E. jubata (Schreber, 1776); the first tenable 

 specific name of the Southern Sea Lion is shown to be byronia Blainville (1820); the generic 

 name of the northern Fur Seals is shown to be Callotaria Palmer, 1892, not Oloes Palmer, 

 1901 = Otaria Peron, 1816.
