Abstract
THE ill wind has blown its‘proverbial good. Until now there has been no general work on mammals of eastern Asia, and it took the War to produce one : Dr. Tate wrote this book for the benefit of soldiers interested in natural history. The scope of the book is the mammal fauna found from north-eastern Siberia to Singapore, and from the Gobi Desert and Lake Baikal to the western shores of the Pacific. The mammals of the Japanese islands are also included, but not those of the East Indies, which have already been dealt with in a companion volume, "Mammals of the Pacific World", 1944, by Dr. Tate in conjunction with T. D. Carter and the late J. E. Hill.
