Agrees with Allen (Bull. Amer. mus. nat. hist., xvi, pp. 162 and 168, 
July 1,1902) that Notophorus should be considered a synonym of Tayassu. 
Regards the renaming of Alces (Allen, Bull. Arner. mus. nat. hist., xvi, 
p. 159, July 1, 1902) as unnecessary, but would restrict the application of 
the “one-letter rule” to generic names. The name Dama not valid for 
the Virginia deer. Nyctimene Bechstein antedates Cephalotes Geoffroy. 
Printed, August, 1903.
