| Introduction to the mammal survey of the 1965 Street expedition to Afghanistan | |
| 1968 Full Book | |
The present paper describes the goals, organization, field work, and observations on country traversed by the 1965 W. S. and J. K. Street Expedition of the Field Museum of Natural History to Afghanistan; and is intended as an introduction for later papers on materials collected by the expedition. A brief introduction to the physiography, climate, and phytogeography of Afghanistan with a more detailed description of the habitat where we collected or observed the various species of mammals is given ; followed by a narrative itinerary and gazetteer of the 15 major localities visited by our expedition. A table of the numbers and kinds of terrestrial mammals collected in each major locality is included. It is intended to use these specimens as the basis for a later, but more comprehensive faunal report on the terrestrial mammals of Afghanistan. A gazetteer of place names is included. |
