EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 44: Arvicola melanogaster, the Water Vole, from Recherches pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, Vols. 1-4 (1868-74), by Dr. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) and Dr. Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835-1900). This exquisite illustration showcases the water vole, a semi-aquatic mammal native to Eastern Asia. The water vole, also known as the common water rat, is a member of the Arvicolinae subfamily, which belongs to the larger superfamily Muroidea, within the order Eutheria and class Mammalia. The water vole is characterized by its rounded, compact body, short limbs, and a scaly, nearly hairless tail that is used for propulsion in the water. Its fur is typically brown or brownish-gray on the back and lighter on the belly. The water vole's ears are covered with short, fine hairs, and its eyes are protected by a thin membrane that can close to keep water out while swimming. This nineteenth-century observation of the water vole was produced during a time when natural history was a burgeoning field, and the meticulous documentation of new discoveries was of great importance. The Milne-Edwards brothers, both renowned naturalists, made significant contributions to the scientific community through their extensive research and numerous publications. Their work on the classification and description of various mammals, including the water vole, remains an essential reference for modern taxonomy. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of this illustration serve as a testament to the skill and dedication of the artist, who masterfully captured the unique features of this fascinating creature. The plate is an invaluable resource for researchers, students, and anyone with an interest in the natural world, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of Eastern Asia during the 19th century.
