Abstract
As compared with that of the British Isles, the mammalian fauna of France is much more extensive, comprising a number of Mediterranean types quite unknown among the former. It is therefore, altogether apart from patriotic considerations, well worthy of being separately monographed. This task has been undertaken by the author of the present little volume; and although in the main the very condensed descriptions given appear satisfactory so far as they go, we cannot but regret that the work was not written more on the lines of Bell's “British Quadrupeds.”
