| East African mammals in the United States National Museum - Part 1 - Insectivora, chiroptera, and carnivora | |
| 1918 Series | |
No attempt has before been made to furnish a list all the material in the extensive collection of mammals from Eastern Equatiorial Africa preserved in the United States National Museum, based on what amounts to monographic work in each group and careful identification of every specimen. Such a list is the basis of the proposed work of which the present section is the first part. It is hoped that the entire East African collection can be listed in a similar manner in a bulletin completed in three parts. Part I consists of the reports on the insectivorous mammals (Order Insectivora), the bats (Order Chiroptera), and the carnivores (Order Carnivora). In addition to the lists of specimens carefully determined according to modern standards of systematic mammalogy, pertinent notes which seem worthy of preservation for future workers on the taxonomy and life histories of East African mammals are presented under the various generic, specific, and subspecific headings. What it is hoped will prove even more useful to systematic mammalogists are the extensive tables of measurements of individual specimens. The territory covered is divided into Eritrea, French Somali, British Somali, Sudan, Abyssinia, Lado, Uganda, Italian Somali, British East Africa, Zanzibar, German East Africa. |
