EDITORS COMMENTS
This print is a beautiful representation of Plate 40 from Recherches pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, Vols. 1-4, published between 1868 and 1874 by the renowned French naturalists Dr. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) and Dr. Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835-1900). The illustration features three distinct mammalian species native to Eastern Asia. At the center of the plate is the Uropsilus soricipes, commonly known as the shrew mole. This small, insectivorous mammal is characterized by its short, stocky body, short limbs, and lack of external eyes or ears. The shrew mole is an important component of the Asian ecosystem, playing a crucial role in controlling insect populations. To the left of the shrew mole is the Mus chevrieri, also known as Chevrier's field mouse or the Chinese shrew mouse. This small rodent is native to China and is distinguished by its short, bushy tail and relatively large ears. Mus chevrieri is an omnivorous species, feeding on a variety of plant materials and small invertebrates. To the right of the shrew mole is another mouse species, Mus ouang-thomae, which was named after the French naturalist Alfred Grandidier. This mouse is also known as the Laotian mouse or the Annamite forest mouse. Mus ouang-thomae is a small, brown rodent with a pointed snout and a long, scaly tail. It is native to the forests of Laos and Vietnam and is an important food source for various predators. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the naturalists' meticulous attention to detail and their dedication to documenting the diverse mammalian fauna of Eastern Asia during the 19th century. The plate is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the region and the importance of scientific exploration and documentation in understanding the natural world.
