Down tothe present time therefore the large Oriental marten () has been invariably assigned to the genus Martes. Itappears to me, however, that the structure of the baculum, * Pohl, it should be explained, referred foina and martes to the genusMustela and erminea and nivalis to the genus Ictis. I have here alteredhis terminology to bring the names into accord with recent usage. Sincethe memoir contains references to previously published works upon thesubject in hand, I have not troubled to cite them in this paper. t Lonnberg has figured and described the baculum of the sea-otterLetax lutris (Anat.
