ZOOLOGICAL RECOKD 
FOR 1875. ' 
MAMMALIA. 
BY 
Edward Eichard Alston, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 
The most important new separate works of the year are the first part 
of Milne-Edwards and Grandidier’s magnificent memoir on the 
Mammals of Madagascar [infra^ p. 3] and the first volume of the 
Geological Record from which last the Recorder has to acknow- 
ledge much assistance. Van Beneden and Gervais have continued their 
work on the Cetacea [pp. 12 & 13]. and Turner his important researches 
on placentation [p. 4]. Attention may also be directed to Dobson’s classi- 
fication of Bats [p. 7], to Flower’s views on the arrangement of the 
Artiodactyles [p. 17], and to the labours of Owen and Garrod among the 
Marsupials, extinct and recent [p. 23]. The American palaeontologists 
have been as untiring as ever, and have been amply rewarded ; princi- 
pally by the discovery of remarkable forms seemingly allied to the 
Lemurs [pp. 6 & 7], and by fuller knowledge of the structure of the 
ancient Ungulates [pp. 15&16], and of the paradoxical creatures, for the 
reception of which the new orders Tillodontia of Marsh [p. 9], and 
Amhlypoda of Cope [p. 16], have been proposed.
