THE GENERAL SUBJECT. Mamm. 11 
Order Primates. 
Sub-order Lemuroidea. Three families. 
,, Anthropoidea. Five families. 
This arrangement, inverted, is, in its main outlines, similar to that 
used last year in the Zool. Rec., and in the present volume it is followed 
throughout, with the slight exception that the Sirenia are placed next 
to the Ungulata, as they seem better to deserve this position than the 
Cetacea. It is to be hoped that other writers will also follow an arrange- 
ment by which the Chiroptera and Iiwectivora are lowered from their un- 
natural but time-honoured position near the Lemurs, and which, as a wliolo, 
represents the results of all the most recent researches on the subject.

This work having been hitherto unattainable to the Zoological 
Recorders, it is thought better that it should be included in the present 
volume, although some years after date, rather than that it should be 
altogether omitted. It consists of a preliminary list, with cliagnoses of 
the new forms* of some 300 fossil S. American Mammals, of which about 
60 are described as new. [See Lemuridce , Canidcv, Mustelidce } Otariidce,
