MAM MALI A. 
The new genera of Mammals characterized in 1885 were 26 in Dumber 
—a large increase on those of 1884, which were only 15. Of these 26, 
24 are fossil and 2 ( B\fa , a genus of Rodents, and Megalocjlossus , a genus 
of Bats) are recent. The new species described were 113, as compared 
with 103 in 1884, of which 27 were recent and 86 fossil ; besides which, 5 
recent and 2 extinct forms have been designated as subspecies.

An answer to a paper by Prof. Stohr, on the subject of hare-lip and its 
meaning. The author considers the upper lip to be made up of two 
paired and one unpaired part—the interlabia externa and interna and 
the supralabium. Hare-lip may result from the non closure of the canals 
between either of these pieces of which the upper lip is made up.
