EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 38 from Recherches pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères (Researches for the Natural History of Mammals) by Henri Milne-Edwards, published in Paris between 1868 and 174, showcases two intriguing mammalian species native to Eastern Asia. The illustration features Anourosorex squamipes, also known as the Asian mole shrew or Chinese mole shrew, and Talpa longirostris, commonly referred to as the long-nosed mole. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885), a renowned French naturalist, was a significant figure in the scientific community during the 19th century. He dedicated much of his career to the study of mammals, and his work, Recherches pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, is considered a seminal contribution to the field. Anourosorex squamipes is a small, elusive creature, measuring around 10 cm in length. Its body is covered in dense, velvety fur, and it possesses a distinctive, pointed snout and long, sharp claws. This mole shrew is native to China and other parts of Eastern Asia and is an essential component of the region's ecosystem as an insectivore and burrower. Talpa longirostris, the long-nosed mole, is another fascinating species depicted in this plate. Measuring around 15 cm in length, it is characterized by its long, slender snout and powerful forelimbs, which it uses to dig complex burrow systems. The long-nosed mole is native to Europe and Asia and plays a crucial role in soil aeration and nutrient cycling. This illustration, produced during the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the natural history of these two remarkable mammalian species. Milne-Edwards' meticulous attention to detail and commitment to scientific accuracy make this plate an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike.
