A Suggested Change in Nomenclature

Abstract

IN the Geological Magazine for October, 1904, I gave the name Barypoda to a new order of Ungulates, including under it Arsinoitherium and its allies. It has just been pointed out to me by Mr. W. K. Gregory, of the American Museum of Natural History, that this name was previously used by Haeckel (“Generelle Morphologie,” ii., p. clvii.) for certain groups of extinct marsupials. It is therefore advisable to suggest another name for the new division of the Ungulates, and I propose that Embrithopoda be employed.
