APPENDIX 



LIST OF BRITISH MAMMALIA 



For the convenience of readers, a summary is here given of 

 the classification and the scientific and vernacular names of the 

 known British Mammalia. The species which are inhabitants 

 of any parts of the British Islands (or of the sea round about the 

 British Islands) at the present day are printed in black type. 

 Those that are common, or which may be seen in some parts of 

 the British Islands without difficulty, are underlined, in addition 

 to the heavy type. Species that are very doubtful natives of the 

 British Isles are placed between brackets, and are not counted. 



It will be noted that out of the 1 1 3 recorded species of 

 the British Mammalia since the commencement of the Pleistocene 

 Period, 38 are universally distributed, 25 species are restricted 

 in distribution to England (and possibly Wales), 25 are common 

 to England and Scotland, 1 1 to England and Ireland, 2 species 

 are entirely restricted to Scotland in their known range, i 

 species is common to Ireland and Scotland, and i species is 

 only found in Ireland. This gives England (and perhaps 

 Wales) a total, past and present, of 109, Scotland 66, and 

 Ireland only 51.
