The completion of the work noticed in Zool. Rec. xxv, Mamm. p. 3, 
this part embracing the orders Chiroptera , Rodentia, Ungulata , Cetacea , 
Sirenia , and Edentata. The chief classificatory features calling for notice 
here are as follows: — In the Rodents the name Microtus is adopted 
instead of Arvicola ; while in the Artiodactyle Ungulates the Tahr and 
Nilghri goat are separated from Capra as Ilemi tragus jemlaicus and H. 
hylocrias ; the Goral is taken as representing a distinct genus, under the 
name of Cemas goral ; and all the Bovines are included in the genus Bos. 
Gazella fuscifrons is regarded as a variety of G. bennettl .
