List of Mammals
In North America
Has d Man Types

A new publication issued by
the Smithsonian Institution lists
1922 known forms of mammals
In North America, including four
types of men.
Gerrit S. Miller, jr., former
curator of mammals of the
National Museum, and DR.. Rem
tngton Kellogg, the museum
director, compiled the list.
"A few are essentially CONT
mental in distribution" the
Smithsonian said, but many
especially of the varieties. have
q quite restricted habitat and
often the peculiarities which set
them apart are due to adjust
ments to such habitats."
Man accounts for four varities
of the 1922 forms. The Smith
sonian breaks us down as fol-
lows:
Homo sapiens sapiens-Type
locality Upsala. Sweden. Range
now almost cosmopolitan.
Homo sapiens afer-Type To-
cality Africa. Introduced and
widely established in North
America.
Homo sapienS americanus-
Type locality, eastern North
America. Range, Central and
South America.

that it already was under con-
sideration.
A bill authorizing government
ally regulated primaries here,
passed at the last session Of Con-
gress but carried no funds to
finance 1t.
Mr.. Warner also suggested
creation Of an advisory commit

should be composed of the per-
sons who ultimately will make
up the Districts Board of Elec-

Mr.. Warner cautioned MIR.
Mclaughlin that passage Of the
supplemental appropriations bill
probably will not come until
February. leaving little time for
