Excerpt from A List of the Generic and Family Names of Rodents

This list is supplementary to a complete alphabetical index of the genera of mammals, containing full references to descriptions and localities, which is now almost ready for the press. The data relating to the Rodentia are here grouped under families and published in condensed form for the purpose of inviting sug gestions and criticisms as to arrangement, type species, and grouping of genera. The list is therefore merely an experiment. Although the names have been brought together, much remains to be done in working out the synonymy of types, but such work properly belongs to the Specialist and the reviser of groups. When this has been done some examples of duplication of names will probably be found even more striking than the case of the lemmings, in which a single species (mas lorqaatas Pallas) has served as the basis for five or six nominal genera.

As a help in distinguishing the names, extinct genera are printed in italics; an asterisk indicates that the original description has not been seen; a dagger (t) that the name is preoccupied, and a double dagger (i) prefixed to a family or subfamily that the name is not available, either because the genus on which it was based is preoccupied or because it is antedated by some other valid name.
