Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Nature enthusiasts interested in mammal classification and distribution
- Students and researchers in zoology or field survey recording
- Readers interested in the history of science and the style of early expedition reports
Not a good fit for
- General readers seeking storytelling or popular-science narrative
- Beginners lacking basic background in zoology and geographical terms
Reading tips
- Begin with the opening background on the expedition and collection sites to establish a geographical framework.
- Consult relevant mammal references against the species list to understand the significance of the records.
- Use it as a stylistic sample of scientific report writing, noting the recording methods and phrasing.
- Given the limited length, read closely in several sessions and organize species information with notes.

About the author
E. Raymond Hall (Eugene Raymond Hall, 1902–1986) was an American mammalogist born in Iams, Kansas. He served as curator of the Museum of Mammalogy at the University of California, Berkeley, and from 1944 was chairman of the Department of Zoology and director of the Museum of Natural History at the University of Kansas. He authored Mammals of North America and published more than 340 papers. The database holds 17 of his works, mostly studies of small mammals of North America and Mexico, such as American Weasels, A Synopsis of the North American Lagomorpha, and taxonomic treatises on North American and Mexican bats and carnivores. These works are known for solid specimen records and taxonomic descriptions and remain important references in the field. Public information is limited, so further biographical details cannot be given here.
