Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Systematic Results of the Study of North American Land Mammals During the Years 1901 and 1902
Progress in the study of the North American mammal faunal has been exceptionally rapid during the years 1901 and 1902. So great an advance in this field has probably never before been made in a like period, even during the remarkable activity of the preceding twelve years. Since 1900 there has been published the first general work on North American mammals subsequent to that of Baird; many changes in nomenclature have been found necessary, and the elaboration of material has resulted in the discovery of over 300 forms unknown two years ago.
