About This Book
A systematic zoological survey catalogs mammals from the Celebes and Philippine archipelagos through species-by-species descriptions, measurements, and comparative remarks. The text treats primates, carnivores, ungulates, rodents, and marsupials, noting geographic occurrences, morphological variation, and diagnostic characters; several new species are proposed. Detailed examinations of skulls, skeletons, dentition, pelage, and footpads support taxonomic judgments, while plates and figures provide multiple views of specimens and anatomical parts. Emphasis falls on clarifying species identities and distributions using morphological evidence and museum material.
