Lewis B onhote, M.A., F.L.S.* [Received October 28,1905.] The object of a proposed series of papers, of which this is the first, is to bring up to date our existing knowledge of the Mammalian Fauna of China, at present scattered throughout various papers, which, except Mons. Milne-Edwards's ‘ Recherches Mammif^res/ are short. The material used has been chiefly that contained in the British Museum, which, apart from a portion of Swinhoe's collection, contains large collections made by Messrs. Sty an, Rickett, and La Touche, as well as several smaller collections, amongst which we may mention a small consignment very carefully collected by Mr. E. B. Howell. I have to thank the late Dr. E. Oustalet for his kind courtesy and the facilities afforded me for a careful examination of Pere David's types in the Paris Museum. Many imperfections due to lack of specimens and exact data are bound to occur, but it is hoped that these papers may prove useful as a foundation on which future workers may build, and with this object in view the synonymy throughout has been made as full and accurate as possible.
