V Hylomys, Mull. & Schleg., = Gymnura , Horsf. & Vig., and the two so- 
called species II. suillus and II. peguensis should be united under the 
name Gymnura suilla ; Dobson, tom. cit. p. 5.

/ Talpa europea. An exhaustive account of the anatomy of the brain of 
f this species, with figures, is given by S. Ganser, Morph. JB. vii. p. 591, 
1882 ^and of its habits, development, and external, skeletal, and anato- 
mical characters, by J. Kober, Yerh. Nat. Ges. Basel, vii. p. 62.

SOLENODONTI DM.
