1) By M. Kretzoi (Budapest). Seven new mammal names are proposed for preoccupied ones. 1. Plesiogale Pocock 1921 nec Pomel 1853. Gray erected for Mustela nudipes, strigidorsa, etc. the new genus Gymnopus. Being Gymnopus preoccupied, Pocock replaced it (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1921. p. 805.) with Plesiogale, unfortunately being similarly preoccuppied by Plesiogale Pomel 1853. (Catal. méth. p. 49.). I propose to call the genus based on M. nudipes Pocockictis n. nom. pro Gray 1842. 2. Echinogale Pomel 1853 nec Wagner 1841. Pomel established for two Insectivore species (E. laurillardi and gracilis) from the lower miocene of France the genus Echinogale (Catal. méth. p. 15.), preoccupied by Echinogale Wagner 1841 1 No. 1: Präokkupierte Namen im Säugetiersystem.
