Catalogue of the Fossil Mammalia in the British Museum (Natural History)

Abstract

IN the above-named volume we welcome another contribution to the series of descriptive catalogues of the Natural History Section of the British Museum, which, initiated by the late indefatigable Keeper of the Zoological Department, Dr. J. E. Gray, have been energetically extended under the direction of his eminent successor, Dr. Günther, himself the author of the greatest of them all, the now classical “Catalogue of Fishes.”

Catalogue of the Fossil Mammalia in the British Museum (Natural History).

Part I., containing the Orders Primates, Chiroptera, Insectivora, Carnivora, and Rodentia. By Richard Lydekker, &c. (London: Printed by order of the Trustees, 1885).
