Monsiemr Paul Rode, Assistant de Mammalogie au Museum national d'Histoire Natu- 
relle de Paris, very kindly looked up the bibliographic reference to "Mangusta Olivier, Nouv. 
Diet. Hist, nat., 1 ed." as given by Horsfleld, 1822, Zool. Res. Java. This reference. Monsieur 
Rode writes, was evidently erroneous, but it has been copied by various authors. In regard 
to vol. 14, Nouv. Diet. d'Hist. nat., 1 ed., he writes: 
"page 54: Mangouste. 
" Aucune mention d'un genre Alangusta Olivier. On trouve seulement en 4 pages, la descrip- 
tion des genres: Mangouste des Indes, Mangouste du Cap de Bonne Esperance, Mangouste 
d ' E gypte (ichneumon) . ' '
