Excerpt from East African Mammals in the United States National Museum, Vol. 1: Insectivora, Chiroptera, and Carnivora A few mammals collected by the Hon. Hoffman Philip, minister resident and consul general, Adis Ababa, Abyssinia, were presented by him to the Museum in 1910. The Hon. Alexander W. Weddell, American consul at Zanzibar, sent to the National Museum as a gift a few mammals collected by himself during the year 1911. By far the most important contributions to the East African col lection were made by two larger and more thoroughly equipped expeditions in the field from 1909 to 1912 - the Smithsonian African Expedition and the Paul J. Rainey Expedition. The Smithsonian African Expedition, which was first officially proposed by President Roosevelt in a letter to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution dated June 20, was made possible through the generosity of friends of the Smithsonian Institution, who provided a special fund to pay for the outfitting and to meet the expenses of the naturalists who accompanied the expedition. The management of the expedition was under the direction of Col. Theo dore Roosevelt, who defrayed all of his own expenses and those of his son, Mr. Kermit Roosevelt. The naturalists who accompanied him in the interests of the museum were Lieut. Col. Edgar A. Mearns, United States Army, retired; Mr. Edmund Heller; and Mr. J. Alden Loring. Doctor Meams gave special attention to birds; Mr. Heller to the preservation of the larger mammals killed by Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit RooseveThe party sailed from New York on March 23, 1909, landed in Mombasa on April 21, and journeyed over the Uganda railroad to Kapiti Plains, British East Africa, where a preliminary camp was established. Actual work commenced on the near by Athi Plains on April 24, when Colonel Roosevelt procured the first antelopes for the collection. Hunting and collecting were carried on in this general region until almost June 1, during which time the country east and northeast of Nairobi was well covered.

Mammals of Africa (MoA) is a series of six volumes which describes, in detail, every currently recognized species of African land mammal. This is the first time that such extensive coverage has ever been attempted, and the volumes incorporate the very latest information and detailed discussion of the morphology, distribution, biology and evolution (including reference to fossil and molecular data) of Africa's mammals. With 1,160 species and 16 orders, Africa has the greatest diversity and abundance of mammals in the world. The reasons for this and the mechanisms behind their evolution are given special attention in the series. Each volume follows the same format, with detailed profiles of every species and higher taxa. The series includes some 660 colour illustrations by Jonathan Kingdon and his many drawings highlight details of morphology and behaviour of the species concerned. Diagrams, schematic details and line drawings of skulls and jaws are by Jonathan Kingdon and Meredith Happold. Every species also includes a detailed distribution map. Extensive references alert readers to more detailed information. Volume I: Introductory Chapters and Afrotheria (352 pages) Volume II: Primates (560 pages) Volume III: Rodents, Hares and Rabbits (784 pages) Volume IV: Hedgehogs, Shrews and Bats (800 pages) Volume V: Carnivores, Pangolins, Equids and Rhinoceroses (560 pages) Volume VI: Pigs, Hippopotamuses, Chevrotain, Giraffes, Deer and Bovids (704 pages)

The reasons for this and the mechanisms behind their evolution are given special attention in the series. Each volume follows the same format, with detailed profiles of every species and higher taxa. The series includes hundreds of colour illustrations and pencil drawings by Jonathan Kingdon highlighting the morphology and behaviour of the species concerned, as well as line drawings of skulls and jaws by Jonathan Kingdon and Meredith Happold. Every species also includes a detailed distribution map. Edited by Jonathan Kingdon, David Happold, Tom Butynski, Mike Hoffmann, Meredith Happold and Jan Kalina, and written by more than 350 authors, all experts in their fields, Mammals of Africa is as comprehensive a compendium of current knowledge as is possible.
