Abstract
The Japanese names were listed above the genus level of Mammalia. The Japanese names were principally selected from the established ones including the original Latin meaning in the order level, while the corresponding Latin words were transcribed in the angular Japanese phonetic syllabary in the family level. Although this study did not deal with the taxonomical theory in Mammalia, the order name of Insectivora (Shokuchu-Moku) was replaced by that of Lipotyphla (Mu-Mocho-Moku) from the latest taxonomical conclusions on the chrysochlorids and some fossil groups of the early Eutheria. Some new Japanese names were also needed for the separated orders in the marsupials. We expect that this list in the higher level of the mammalian classification will also contribute to the refinement of the school and adult educations in the future.
