The lost species: great expeditions in the collections of natural history museums.

Stock ID 40004 The lost species: great expeditions in the collections of natural history museums. Christopher Kemp.

Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2017. Octavo, blaphotographs, fine copy in dustwrapper.

The tiny, lungless Thorius salamander from southern Mexico, thinner than a match and smaller than a quarter. The lushly white-coated Saki, an arboreal monkey from the Brazilian rainforests. The olinguito, a native of the Andes, which looks part mongoose, part teddy bear. These fantastic species are all new to science at least newly named and identified; but they weren't discovered in the wild, instead, they were unearthed in the drawers and cavernous basements of natural history museums.
