PART I. 



MAMMALIA. 

 (Mammals.) 



This list is compiled from the ' ' List of Mammalia " in the 



'Fauna of Blackheath," published in 1859; the "List of the 



Mammals of Bromley, Kent," published by the Bromley Naturalists' 



Society in 1895; a " MS. List" from A. S. Kennard ; and a 



'MS. List" from B. W. Adkin. It will be interesting to 



note that several species, now very rare or extinct in the area, 



were at one time even common in the heart of the district. 



Probably if more lists were available from the outlying part 

 of the area, a better view of the distribution would be obtained. 

 The contractions used are as follows : 



B.W.A. = B. W. Adkin. 

 A.S.K. = A. S. Kennard. 

 Fn.B. = Fauna of Blackheath. 

 B.L. = Bromley List, mainly A. S. Kennard's records.
