This list of the skeletons and crania in the Section of Com- parative Anatomy of the United States Army Medical Museum was prepared by Dr. H. C. Yarrow, and is intended for distri- bution, during the Centennial Exhibition, among naturalists and others interested in comparative anatomy, for the purpose of show- ing the deficiencies of our collection, and soliciting contributions.
This collection constitutes one section of the Army Medical Museum, which, at present, is divided into six sections, as fol- lows : —
In charge of Assistant Surgeon G. A. Otis, IT. S. A., Curator,
Surgical section 6539 specimens.
Anatomical section 12.")4 "
Miscellaneous section .... 240 "
In charge of Assistant Surgeon J. J. Woodward, U.S.A. : —
Medical section ..... 1279 specimens. Microscopical section .... 7275 " Comparative Anatomy section . . 1522 "
The Army Medical Museum was created primarily for the pur- pose of preserving specimens illustrative of the wounds and dis- eases which produce death and disability during war, with the view of thereby facilitating the study of methods for diminishing mortality and alleviating suffering among soldiers. It is now the desire of the Surgeon General that, so far as the means placed at his disposal will permit, the collection shall be extended so as to embrace all forms of injuries and disease, so that it shall eventu- ally become a general Pathological Museum, accessible for study to all medical men who are prosecuting original inquiries. Of the great usefulness of such a collection, it is unnecessary here to speak, or to point out how vain all hopes have proved that any large collection of this kind can be created except with the aid
4
and siijyjort of government. A cabinet of comparative anatomy furnishes tlie means for nsefnl collateral studies, subordinate to the general purposes of a Pathological Museum : hence, such cabi- nets are found in connection with most of the great Pathological Collections of Europe, and one has been commenced at the Army Medical Museum.
The appropriations for the support of the Museum have been hitherto too limited to permit the expenditure of any considera- ble sum on the collection of comparative anatomy. The speci- mens enumerated in the following list were for the most part col- lected by medical and other officers of the army on duty at frontier posts. For the present, any increase of the collection can only be expected from such donations, which will thankfully be received from army officers or others, or from exchanges of duplicate spe- cimens, which, however, as yet are only possible to a very limited extent.
Specimens presented need not be thoroughly cleaned and mounted. This laborious work is done in the Museum by Dr. F. ScHAFHiRT, by whom the greater part of the specimens enume- rated in the following list were prepared. It will be sufficient, in the case of large skeletons or crania, if the flesh is roughly dis- sected from bone and the viscera, brain, &c., removed. The pre- paration thus prepared can be packed in a mixture of sawdust and salt, or simply dried, for transportation. Small animals are best preserved in alcohol, in which case an incision should be made along the middle line of the abdomen to give the alcohol access to the viscera.

LIST OF CRANIA AND SKELETONS OF NORTH AMERICAN MAMMALS.
Note. — In the preparation of this list the classification adopted is sub- stantially the same as that of Dr. Theo. Gill in his paper entitled ^^Arranne- ment of the Families of Mammals," Smithsonian jNIiscellaneous Collections, No. 230, 1872, and the nomenclature of the species is in accordance, for the most part, with the more recent views of prominent American Mammalogists.
