,62.:90 DISTRIBUTION OF ANIMALS. [part I.The two next orders consist of but a single family each, viz.OrderPROBOSCIDEAHYRACOIDEAFam.53. Elephantidse54. HyracidseElephants.Bock-rabbits.We now come to the Eodentia, a very extensive and difficultorder, in which there is still much difference of opinion as tothe details of classification, although the main outlines are prettywell settled. The foundations of a true classification of thisorder were laid by Mr. G. E. Waterhouse more than thirty yearsago, and succeeding authors have done little more than followhis arrangement with unimportant modifications. ProfessorLilljeborg, of Upsala, has however made a special study of thisgroup of animals, and has given an original and detailed classificationof all the genera. {Systematisk Ofversigt af de GnagandeDaggdjuren, Glires. Upsala, 1866.) I follow this arrangementwith a few slight modifications suggested by other naturalists,and which make it better adapted for the purposes of this work.SimplicidentatixMurina(Waterhouse)Hystricina(Waterhouse)Duplicidentatij (wSZe)Order—RODENTIA.Fam.55.

The former takes a middle course between
