Family Tupaiidae View in CoL

REVIEWED BY: Earl of Cranbrook (Cranbrook); N. Langham (NL).

COMMENT: The ordinal placing of this family is controversial, but all evidence shows that it is a coherent natural group; see Luckett, ed., 1980, Comparative Biology and Evolutionary Relationships of Tree Shrews, New York, Plenum, 314 pp.; Campbell, 1974, Mammal Rev., 4: 125- 143; Dene et al., 1978, J. Mammal., 59:697-706. Le Gros Clark, 1971, The Antecedents of Man, 3rd ed., and Van Valen, 1965, Evolution, 19: 137- 151, discussed affinities of this family; also see Campbell, 1966, Evolution, 20:276-281; Campbell, 1966, Science, 153:436. A bibliography, 1780- 1969, was prepared by Elliott, 1971.
