![the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, March 20, 1894.] On the Myology of the Sciuromorphine ami Hystrico- morphine Rodents. By F. G. Parsons, F.R.C.S., F.Z.S., F.L.S., Lecturer on Comparative Anatomy at St. Thomas’s Hospital. In commencing this series of dissections nearly three years ago, I intended to work out the musculature of all the Rodents which I could collect. Before long, however, the size of my manuscript made it evident to me that I must be content to take up the subject in two parts, and I have accordingly devoted my first attention to the Hystricomorplia and Sciuromorpha because I was able to obtain a more representative series of animals in these groups. The following is a list of the animals which I have dissected1 Aulacoclus swindernianus. Capromys pilorides. Myopotamus coy pus. Octodon cumingii. Hystrix cristata. Sphingurus prehensilis. Lagostomus trichodactylus. Chinchilla lanigera. Dasyprocta cristata. Ccelogenys paca. 1 For the opportunity of dissecting these animals I am indebted to kindness of the Prosector to the Society, Mr. F. E. Beddard, F.R.S.
