ders and families within orders follows Wilson & Reed- 

 er (2005). Likewise, the taxonomy largely follows the re- 

 spective chapters in Wilson & Reeder (2005), particular- 

 ly those on soricomorphs (Hutterer 2005), rodents (Muss- 

 er & Carleton 2005), glirids (Holden 2005), sciurids (Thor- 

 ington & Hoffmann 2005) and artiodactyls (Grubb 2005). 

 We included no figures in this catalogue as photographs 

 of many of the ZFMK type specimens are available on- 

 line through the Global Biodiversity Information Facili- 

 ty (http://www.biologie.uni-ulm.de/cgi-bin/query_all/
