Excerpt from Catalogue of the Ungulate Mammals in the British Museum (Natural History), Vol. 5: Perissodactyla (Horses, Tapirs, Rhinoceroses), Hyracoidea (Hyraxes), Proboscidea (Elephants); With Addenda to the Earlier Volumes The volume now published is practically as the author left it, and the only alterations that have been made are verbal ones. Even the illustrations are those which he had himself selected. It will be Obvious, however, that this volume should not be regarded as a finished production. The earlier part is drawn up on the general lines of the preceding volumes, and contains lists of the specimens in the collection. These do not appear in the second half of the volume, which consists mainly of a list of species and subspecies, with synonymy and indications of the typical localities. The manuscript was, indeed, in the condition of a preliminary draft, and readers should bear in mind that it has not had the advantage of being amplified and revised by the author.
