Equus cahallus. Another case of polydactylism [see Zool. Rec. viii. p. 16]

with 4 plates. 
This catalogue contains references to all the species known, 
especially to the specimens in the British Museum. All the 
genera, and the majority of the species, are eharacterized by 
short diagnoses. The plates represent skulls of species which 
will he mentioned below.

Capra picta, $, figured by Sclater, P. Z. S. 1872, p. 689, pi. 68. 
Antilope. Dr. Gray figures the skulls of the following Antelopes in Catal. 
Rumin. Mamm.: — Ncsotrar/us Uvingstonianus, fig. 1; Neotragus M/<mn«s,fig. 2; 
Admota lechee, fern., fig. 4 ; Pclia capreola, fig. 6 ; Damalis pygarga^ fig. 6 j 
Grimmia madoqua, fig. 7 ; and TJrotragus caudatus, fig. 8. 
Oryx heatrix comes from Arabia. Sclater, P. Z. S. 1872, p. 603. 
Gazella granti, sp. n.. Sir V. Brooke, P. Z. S. 1872, p. 601, pi. 41, Ugogo. 
Antilope hodgsoni. Its head figured in R. Shaw’s ‘ Visits to High Tartary, 
Yarkand, and Kashgar.’ London ; 1871, 8vo, p. 169. 
Nemorhedus griseus is indicated as a new species from Western China by 
A. Milne-Edwards, Nouv. Arch. Mus. vii. Bull. p. 93. 
Nanotragus, Sir V. Brooke regards NanotraguSj Calotragus^ ScopophoruSj 
Nesotragus, and Oreotragus as divisions of the same generic group, which ho 
characterizes and compares with Ccphalophus. He has worked out the 
literary history and synonymy of Nanotragus pygniceus, which is figured on 
pi. 63. P. Z. S. 1872, pp. 637-643, with woodcut of skull. 
Nanotragus nigricaudatus, sp. n., Brooke, 1. c. p. 874, pi. 76, Gambia. 
Camelopardalis. The list of Giraffes which have lived in the Gardens of 
the Zoological Society of London is carried down to the present date by 
Sclater, P. Z. S. 1872, p. 184. 
Dr. Murib has examined the horns, viscera, and muscles of two Giraffes 
which perished by fire in those Gardens, A. & M. N. H. 1872, ix. pp, 177- 
196, pis. 7, 8. In the conclusions at which he has arrived he agrees with 
those who look upon the three bony protuberances on the skull as extraneous 
ossific centres adherent primarily in the manner of epiphyses. He asks 
whether, after all, the different homed types in Ruminants may be but tex- 
tural shades of kind of but one organic homologue ? The discrepancies in 
the statements of authors as regards the length of the alimentary canal are 
explicable on the grounds of age and sex ; and the presence of a gall-bladder 
is of such unfrequent occurrence, that it may be classed as an anomaly. The 
author has studied also more particularly the muscles of the neck.
