    Description

    Folding Maps, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

    This work is a reclassification of the Southern African Mammals, from 1758 to 1951, reclassified due to the newer types found since the last work. With a frontispiece and two folding maps. Written by John Ellerman, T. C. S. Morrison-Scott, and R. W. Hayman. Ellerman was a shipowner and natural historian. He was often said to be the richest man in Britain after inherited his father's fortune. He also published 'The Families and Genera of Living Rodents' and 'Checklist of Palaearctic and Indian Mammals, 1758–1946'. Terence Morrison-Scott was a zoologist who was the Director of the British Museum of Natural History, who also worked with Ellerman on his works on Palaearctic and Indian mammals.
