Catalogue of the Bones of Mammalia in the Collection of the British Museum (Classic Reprint)

Description

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Bones of Mammalia in the Collection of the British Museum

This Catalogue contains a list of the Skeletons, Skulls, and other Osteological Specimens of the Class Mammalia contained in the British Museum; and references to the works in which the entire skeletons or separate bones of Mammalia are figured, not only of the species in the Museum, but of those which are still desiderata. References to the latter have been added with the view of increasing the usefulness of this Catalogue to students of the Osteological Col lection.

For the purpose of showing the disposition of the bones in the different Classes and Orders, a few examples of each have been mounted; and for the purpose of illustrating the genera and species in the Collection, and facilitating their comparison, a series of skulls has been arranged on separate tablets.
