This bibliography is designed to guide students in mammalogy to literature in specific areas. The works included are primarily monographic and of wide coverage. It is divided into general areas, such as systematics and nomenclature, anatomy and geography, and mammal groups, including marsupials and monotremes, primates and carnivora.
 
Information about collections within each of the six divisions of the museum which cover insects, molluscs, fish, reptiles and amphibians, birds, and mammals.
