In the side headings for the hosts, the synonymy is shown in con- 
densed form; for instance (see p. 1126) — 
#483 Fennecus [or Megalotis, Vulpes^] (Megalotis) zerda (Zimm., 1780, 
Geograph. Geschichte, v. 2, 247 [Canis ^]) Lesson, 1842, 39 
shows that the species known as zerda Zimm., 1780, was originally 
proposed as Canis ^, was transferred by Lesson, 1842, 39, to Fennecus^ 
has been classified generically also in Megalotis and Vulpes ^, and sub- 
generically in Megalotis. 
We have endeavored, by use of [ ] and ( ), to avoid making new 
combinations of host names. 
Classification. — In preparing the classification and keys to the car- 
nivora we have consulted a great mass of the world's literature. For 
lists and summaries, see especially the following:

pp. 283-480, figs. 50-100.
