LIST OF AUTHORS REFERRED TO
For the information of students, and as information is often desired, the publishers' prices for most of the works cited are given in the currency of the country in which they were published. To ensure uniformity in typography, only the initials of the characteristic words are capitalized, the example of the learned Brothers Grimm, as well as other German authors sanctioning such use for their language. Together with an Account of the Habits of the Northern Fur Seal (Callorhinus ursinus), by Charles Bryant.
About the characters and affinities of Potamogale. lt; Transactions of the Zoological Society of London, VI, 1-1G, pi. Washington, D.C., January reprint of the “Report on the American and Mexican Border Survey, Prepared Under the Direction of the Secretary of the Interior, by William H. Emory, Major of the First Cavalry and Commissioner of the United States. The culpable neglect of the publisher to give the dates of publication of the various fascicules has undoubtedly caused many researchers, as well as the writer, much trouble and annoyance in ascertaining them, and to save others similar trouble a summary is here given, where the dates have been determined mainly on the basis of Wagner's annual reports in the "Archiv fur Naturgeschichte.".
The titles of the respective monographs below are those on the top quarter of the first page of each monograph, and which are the only special titles published. The work is more notable as a methodological repertoire respecting superficial osteological details than a digest exhibiting acute understanding of the value and subordination of characters and their taxonomic application, orthodox views regarding classification and the geological sequence of. animals - the contemporary views of the latest and approved investigators are the standard. A title page with the more general title[see above]and the heading:— "Mam-. miferes— Tome premier" was published with the first fascicule i and another with the modification "Mammiferes.—Primates: Pithecus.

A general introduction to the natural history of mammalian animals, with a special view of the physical history of man, and the more closely related genera of the order Quadrumana, or apes. Description of the skeleton of an extinct giant sloth (Mylodon robustus, Owen), with observations on the osteology, natural affinities and probable habits of the megatherioid quadrupeds in general.

The young when they are very small in size and imperfectly developed; never bound by a placenta to the mother, but when born bound by her to the nipple, from which the milk is forced of itself into the young's mouth. Theoviducts, enlarged downward into the uterine sac, but opening separately from each other, as in oviparous vertebrates, descend, not into a separate vagina, but into a cloacal chamber, common to the urinary genital products and to the faeces. The ureters discharge the renal secretion, not into the bladder, which is connected with the upper end of the cloaca, but into the latter cavity itself.

Lower jaw with condyles longitudinally, and is not received in special glenoid sockets, but slides freely backwards and forwards in longitudinal furrows. and contrary to the other. Hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage greatly developed: hyoid bone expanded into a sub-globular drum, with thin bony walls, the larger coruua projecting backwards, the less obsolete. Anterior muscles first developed.—Manus with the middle finger much weakened, and provided with a narrow oblique nail; rest of nails (except thumb heads) similar, subulate.

Ears (in typical shapes) moderate, with the anterior part of the helix well developed, folded over the fossa of the shell and anti-helix, and with distinct tragus and antitragus. Tarsus very long; calcaneum more than one-third of the length of the tibia; navicular much longer than the beam (Mivart). - Hind limbs.

Foramen lacerum posticum introrse, behind the postero-internal angle of the tympanic bone; carotid canal just before the foramen lacerum posticum. Foramen lacerum posticumantrors from the postero-internal angle of the tympanic bone; carotidcanal nearby in front of the middle of the inner wall of the auditory bulla. Alisphenoid canal developed: the auditory bulla is very small and with a very extended bony floor to the auditory meatus: the paroccipital process is long and triconal, standing backwards and outwards, rather unconnected with the bulla.
The lower jaw is very powerful, with an extensive ankylosed symphysis, with tall coronoid processes and extended backwards and downwards at angles. Mandible moderate or slender, with a reduced symphysis, with recurved coronoid processes, and expanded upward to the angles, which are near the condyles.

The neck is relatively more or less short, with the cervical vertebrae (3-7) being normally developed: the dorso-lumbar vertebrae are longer and highest posteriorly, while the hind limbs are considerably longer than the front ones. Skull with the auditory bulla directed downwards, mainly inward, and applied posteriorly to the paroccipital process. The styloid process is deflected more or less anteriorly and confined in an oblique fold on the outer surface of the auditory bulla.
Olfactory organ developed normally: nasal bone elongated, straight or tapering forward and connected by suture with lacrimal, supra-maxillaries and sometimes with inter-maxillaries.

Articular surface for lower jaw transversely concave, antero-posteriorly convex and without post-gleuoid process. The skull with the palato-maxillary axis is extremely deviated and forming a high angle with the occipito-spheuoidal axis.

Cutters of three on each side, with simple vents; first larger, compressed, widely separated from its counterpart; second smaller, triangular; third lateral and posterior to second, and rudimentary: molars of lower jaw relatively broad and complex: moderate canines; incisors implanted row inacurved. The molars successfully move each other from back to front (and therefore there are no pre-molars replacing milk leaves), and no more than two (orons) are fully developed at the same time. Skull shortened and obliquely enlarged, convex backwards and outwards, and with depressed occipital condyles.
The incisors of the upper jaw are absent (and thus an oval cleft depression occupying the naso-maxillary region): the incisors of the lower jaw (1+1) were enlarged and developed as tufts bent downwards and backwards, including the position symphyseal of symphyseal position. Molars are developed vertically (with premolars replacing decidual molars), and in considerable numbers (PM |, M fx2) at the same time. page with ridges equal in number on successive teeth—three to five): ridges typically continuous: valleys with a thick deposit of cemeutum.
