MAMMALIA. 
5 
ancient languages ; Mastomonadelphie, Hydromastologie^ 
Dipodinece, Hippopotamisidece, Rhinocerosidece, Susidece, 
Bovesidece, Echymipera, Mysateles, Micoureus, &c., are some 
of the numerous newly invented names, with which Lesson has 
the hardihood to display to the world his ignorance of the 
ancient tongues. 
During the course of last year, the third division of the 
supplementary volume of Schreber’s Mammalia, continued by 
A. Wagner, has been completed. The printing of this volume 
is just finished, but it will be still some time before it can be 
published. Of the Rodentia, the families Pedhnana, Sciurina, 
Myoxina, Macropoda^ Chmchillina^ Psammoryctina, Cuni- 
cularia, and Mnrina, are fully described in it. The fourth 
division of the supplementary volume, which will soon appear, 
will contain the Terrestrial Mammalia. 
The thirteenth volume of the Mammalia, in the Naturalist’s 
Library, by Jardine, has been announced. It contains Col. C. 
H. Smith’s Introduction to the Mammalia, but it has not yet 
come to hand. The twelfth volume, containing the Equidae, 
merely mentioned in the former report, will this time be dis- 
cussed in its proper place. 
The Histoire Naturelle des Mammiferes, by Geoffroy and 
Fr. Cuvier, the latter numbers of which have not yet been 
obtained, has terminated with the seventy-second. 
Martin’s Natural History of Quadrupeds has, unfortunately, 
since the third number, ceased to appear, in consequence of 
the bookseller’s embarassments. 
The Breeds of the Domestic Animals of the British Islands,

versity of Edinburgh by Mr. N. Shiels. Lond. 1841-2, 4 vols.

tuous drawings of the domestic animals which have yet appeared. By
