It will thus be seen that the author reduces to the rank of sub- 
families the families Crypt opr octidoe and Proteleido } , allowed by Flower 
in his paper on the Carnivora (P. Z. S. 1869, p. 4). The Cryptoproc- 
tince are placed as one of the five sub-families of the Viccrridai , two of 
which, the Evplerince and the Galidictince , are now formed for the first 
time, and the Protelince with the llycenince together forming the family 
Hycenidce. Full descriptions and comparative tables of characters are 
given of the various genera and groups, accompanied by numerous 
figures of foot-pads, teeth, &c. 
In a second paper (P. Z. S. 1882, p. 459) Mivart supplements the 
first one with notes and descriptions of the osteology and anatomy of the 
various forms of AE/uroidea , and gives tables of dimensions of the 
different bones of their skeletons. The anatomy of Genetta tigrina f as a 
central form, is especially fully worked out.

The distribution of this nerve is very fully worked out and its course 
illustrated by figures.
