    HMW Handbook of the Mammals of the World

    As Lynx have commissioned 800 new Primate illustrations I wonder if they are considering publishing a new edition of HMW3 in the future?

    HMW Handbook of the Mammals of the World

    The inclusion of 100 extinct and 18 domesticated mammals is good news. It will be interesting to see if all the primate variations shown in the original volume will be re-done.

    The Lynx website is now advertising 3 Illustrated Checklists of the mammals of South Asia China and the Southern Cone of South America. The first is due mid February. They appear in the "Our Collections" area of the website. It would seem that there may not be one volume for all mammals, but...

The illustrations vary between the various artists,as is to be expected, but all are of high quality. The introduction says that the text was shortened to fit into the 1000 pages, but it still reads...

    Apparently the references and index for volume 9 are included on a CD-ROM to keep the page numbers down.

    HMW Handbook of the Mammals of the World

    I am beginning to think that the PDF file may mean that no volume 10 is being considered. I hope that I am wrong.

    HMW Handbook of the Mammals of the World

    The Lynx website shows that the Handbook of the Mammals of the World will consist of 10 products, so an extra volume is to be produced. No indication is given of what form this volume will take. However on rereading it may be that the tenth product is the 9 volumes already published at a reduced...

    HMW Handbook of the Mammals of the World

    An illustrated Checklist type book would complete the series nicely. And as Melanie has suggested previously it could include newly discovered species and amendments to species already covered

    They have included the Greater New Zealand Short tailed bat, noting that it has not been seen since the 1960s, so perhaps the extinct Christmas Island bat may be included

    HMW Handbook of the Mammals of the World

    I think most of the entries will have "no information" for many of the subjects covered and one volume will be enough

    HMW Handbook of the Mammals of the World

    HMW Handbook of the Mammals of the World

    Received my copy yesterday. As always it is an excellent book. It has the silky anteaters split into 7 species as opposed to 1 species in Walkers Mammals. Walkers benefits in having a run down of each order,whereas HMW sometimes repeats information in each family account that could have been...
