1821. Gray — Continued. 
Sub-kingdom I. Vertebrosa — Continued. 
Class V. Pedimanes. 
Order I. F era?. 
Order II. Brutae. 
Order III. Glires. 
Order IV. Rosores. 
Class VI. Cetaceae. 
Order I. Herbivorae. 
Order II. Carnivorae. 
1823. Spix, Simiarum et Vespertilionum Brasiliensium Species 
Novae. Though dealing especially with the bats of Brazil the author 
proposed a general classification that influenced many subsequent 
writers. It was as follows : 
Fam. I. Anistiophori. 
Genus I. Noctilio. 
II. Molossus. 
III. Thyroptera. 
IV. Proboscidea. 
V. Vespertilio. 
Fam. II. Istiophori. 
Genus V I. Vampyrus. 
VII. Phyllostoma. 
VIII. Glossophaga. 
IX. Diphytta. 
1827. Lesson, Manuel de Mammalogie. The ftying lemur is once 
more associated with the bats, and the group thus formed is made a 
division of the carnivores : 
Ordre Carnassiers. 
Division Cheiropteres. 
Tribu Galeopitheques. 
Tribu Chauve-souris. 
The true bats are subdivided into two sections, the Istiophori con- 
taining the groups Pliyllostomes and Rhinolophina, and the Anistio- 
phori, with the groups Vespertilionina, Noctilionina, and Pteropina. 
Twenty-three genera are recognized. 
1829. Fischer, Synopsis Mammalium. The bats are placed as the 
second order, Chiroptera, without subdivision into secondary groups. 
1831. Bonaparte, Saggio di una Distribuzione metodica degli Ani- 
mali Vertebrati. The bats form the second order, Chiroptera. They 
are all placed in the single family “ Vespertiliones (Vespertilio- 
nidse),” but this group is subdivided into five sections or subfamilies. 
Ord. 2. Chiroptera. 
Fam. 4. Vespertiliones (Vespertilionidse). 
Noctilionina ( Cheiromeles Dysopes , Thyropte- 
rus Stenoderma , VSlyopteris , Aello Tapho- 
zous (.“ Taphagous ”) Noctilio , Ccelano).
