EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 10 from Recherches pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, Vols. 1-4 (Researches for the Natural History of Mammals), published between 1868 and 1874, features an intriguing illustration of Dipus annulatus, the Annulated Gerbil, a small mammal native to Eastern Asia. The image, drawn by skilled hands in the 19th century, captures the gerbil's unique features with remarkable detail. Dipus annulatus is a member of the order Rodentia, suborder Hystricomorpha, and family Dipodidae, commonly known as jerboas. This gerbil is characterized by its long hind limbs, which allow it to leap and move quickly in the sandy habitats of its native region. The species' name, annulatus, refers to the distinct annulations, or rings, on its tail. This drawing was produced by Dr. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) and Dr. Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835-1900), two renowned French naturalists and zoologists. Their extensive work on the classification and study of mammals significantly contributed to the scientific understanding of Eutheria, the subclass of mammals that includes placental and marsupial mammals. The Annulated Gerbil is a diurnal, or daytime, animal, making it an interesting contrast to many other gerbils that are nocturnal. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating mammal, offering a window into the rich biodiversity of Eastern Asia during the 19th century. The intricate details in the drawing, from the individual hairs on the gerbil's body to the texture of its surroundings, serve as a testament to the skill and dedication of the Milne-Edwards brothers in documenting the natural world.
