BIBLIOGRAPHY 



The following list of titles will be found useful if the reader 

 wishes to go beyond the hand book stage. Throughout the 

 text important references have been cited as they have been 

 quoted or used as the basis for the treatment of a genus or 

 other group. These publications are not repeated in the bibli- 

 ography. No attempt has been made to include every book 

 and paper on mammals, for obvious reasons, but rather to call 

 attention to those publications which will be most serviceable 

 in carrying on where this field book leaves off. The most 

 important serial publication dealing solely with the study of 

 mammals is the Journal of Mammalogy, published quarterly 

 by the American Society of Mammalogists. A file of this 

 Journal will be a great asset to the mammal student. Most 

 of the mammal publications of the other scientific societies 

 and of the various museums appear at irregular intervals and 

 are parts of publication series which deal with many fields of 

 biology.
