40 Mamm . 
MAMMALIA. 
Tachyglossid^. 
^ A cantlioglossus bruijni. The external characters and the skull and 
limb-bones of this rare animal are figured and shortly described by A. 
Dubois, Bull. Soc. Zool. vi. p. 266. It is renamed Bruijnia tridactyla , the 
name Acanthoylossus being pre-occupied. The use of the generic term 
Bruijnia does not invalidate bruijnii as a specific name, so that this ani- 
mal must unfortunately bear the barbarous combination of Bruijnia 
bruijni as its scientific name.
