During the last three decades, the Mammal Collection expanded from about 700 specimens in the early 1980s to the current ca 23,000 vouchers, of which 20,195 are catalogued. The Collection is regional in its geographical scope and 17,216 museum specimens (= 85.1% of all catalogued specimens) are from the South-Eastern Europe; 11,214 specimens (=55.4% of all catalogued) are from a relatively small surface area (about 2 x 104 km2) of Slovenia. The Collection is in a possession of what are most probably the largest samples of the rare Balkan endemic Martino's Vole Dinaromys bogdanovi (216 museum specimens), and of the Edible Dormouse Glis glis (2,244 vouchers, mainly skulls). In this paper we list and comment on museum vouchers from nine mammalian orders: Lagomorpha, Erinaceomorpha, Macroscelidea, Afrosoricida, Scandentia, Hyracoidea, Didelphimorphia, Diprotodontia, and Monotremata. The Museum holds 279 specimens of 23 species in 15 genera and 10 families. The great majority of specimens are lagomorphs (36.4%) and hedgehogs (57.8%). The material originates from 23 countries in five biogeographical regions: the Palaearctic (89.2% of vouchers), the Nearctic (1.1%), Ethiopian (2.9%), Oriental (1.1%), and Australian (1.1%). The majority of individuals are from Slovenia (44.4%) and South-Eastern Europe (78.0%). They were collected in 90 localities in Slovenia and 110 localities abroad, with a total sum of 200 localities.

About one third (35.7%) of the museum specimens are skins, while 1.4% of them are saved as skeletons. Further 9.4% of individuals are taxidermic mounts; these include historic specimens which, however, frequently lack appropriate labels. Only 4.0% of individuals are preserved in ethanol. Key words: Landesmuseum für Krain, zoological collections, history of collections, Erinaceus, Lepus, Oryctolagus, mammalian species, taxidermy Izvleček Sesalci so bili med prvimi predmeti, ki jih je razstavil Kranjski deželni muzej (ustanovljen leta 1821, neposredni predhodnik Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije). Kljub temu je ostala Zbirka sesalcev majhna skozi vse 19. stoletje in večino 20. stoletja. V zadnjih treh desetletjih se je Zbirka povečala s približno 700 primerkov v zgodnjih 80-ih letih prejšnjega stoletja na današnjih ca 23.000 eksponatov, od katerih jih je 20,195 katalogiziranih. Zbirka je v geografskem pogledu regionalna, tako da 17.216 muzejskih primerkov (= 85,1 % vseh katalogiziranih enot) izvira iz južne Evrope; 11.214 primerkov (=55,4 % katalogiziranih) je z razmeroma majhne površine (približno 2 x 104 km2) Slovenije. Zbirka vključuje verjetno največje vzorce redkega balkanskega endemita dinarske voluharice Dinaromys bogdanovi (216 muzejskih primerkov) in navadnega polha Glis glis (2244 primerkov, večinoma lobanj). V tej objavi je podan pregled muzejskih primerkov devetih sesalčjih redov: Lagomorpha, Erinaceomorpha, Macroscelidea, Afrosoricida, Scanden-tia, Hyracoidea, Didelphimorphia, Diprotodontia in Monotremata. V Muzeju je 279 primerkov, ki pripadajo 23 vrstam v 15 rodovih in 10 družinah. Velika večina primerkov so zajci (36,4 %) in ježi (57,8 %). Material izvira iz 23 držav v petih biogeografskih območjih: palaearktičnem (89,2 % primerkov), nearktičnem (1,1 %), etiopskem (2,9 %), orientalnem (1,1%) in avstralskem (1,1%). Večina primerkov je iz Slovenije (44,4%) in iz jugovzhodne Evrope (78,0%). Zbrani so bili na 90 nahajališčih v Sloveniji in 110 nahajališčih v tujini; seštevek je 200 nahajališč. Primerki so večinoma ohranjeni kot lobanje (84,8 %) ali kot kože z lobanjo. Približno tretjino (35,7 %) muzejskih primerkov sestavljajo kože, od 1,4 % primerkov pa je ohranjeno tudi okostje. Nadaljnjih 9,4 % primerkov so dermoplastični preparati; ti vključujejo zgodovinske primerke, ki so pogosto pomanjkljivo dokumentirani. Samo 4,0 % primerkov je konzerviranih v etanolu.

The mammal collection in the Slovenian Museum of Natural History is no exception in this respect. Mammals were among the first objects on display in the Museum (established in 1821 as the Provincial Museum for Carniola), but the collection remained small throughout the 19th and for the greater part of the 20th centuries. During the last three decades, the Mammal Collection (hereafter referred to as Collection) expanded from about 700 specimens in the early 1980s (Genoways & Schlitter 1981) to the current ca 23,000 vouchers, of which 20,195 are catalogued (September 5, 2013). The Museum holds only a tiny proportion (probably <0.5%) of all voucher specimens of mammals deposited in collections worldwide, which is about five millions at its low estimate (cf. Genoways & Schlitter 1981, Hafner et al. 1997). On the other hand, the survey by Genoways & Schlitter (1981) from the early 1980s identified only 87 collections of mammals holding more than 10,000 specimens. The Mammal Collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History is regional in its geographical scope, as the majority of vouchers originate from South-Eastern Europe (SEE), i.e. 17,216 museum vouchers constituting 85.1% of all catalogued specimens. Strong geographical bias is evident even within the region. Particularly well represented is the western part of the Balkans, specifically the former Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia (surface area of about 2 x 105 km2) with 16,876 vouchers (= 98.0% of all from the SEE). Furthermore, 11,214 museum specimens (i.e. 65.1% of those from the SEE, and 55.4% of all catalogued) are from a relatively small surface area (about 2 x 104 km2) of Slovenia. This bias is understandable considering the predominantly national character of collections in the Slovenian Museum of Natural History. Uvod Naravoslovne zbirke zadovoljujejo našo potrebo po boljšem razumevanju narave. Zbirka sesalcev Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije ni v tem pogledu nobena izjema. Sesalci so bili med prvimi razstavnimi objekti muzeja, ki je bil ustanovljen leta 1821 kot Kranjski deželni muzej. Zbirka sesalcev je ostala majhna skozi celotno 19. stoletje in večino 20. stoletja. V zadnjih treh desetletjih se je zbirka sesalcev (v nadaljevanju Zbirka) povečala s približno 700 primerkov na začetku 80-ih let prejšnjega stoletja (Genoways & Schlitter 1981) na današnjih ca 23.000 primerkov, od katerih jih je bilo na dan 5. septembra 2013 katalogi-ziranih 20.195. Prirodoslovni muzej hrani le majhen delež (verjetno <0.5 %) vseh primerkov sesalcev, ki so shranjeni v muzejih po vsem svetu, njihovo skupno število pa verjetno presega pet milijonov (cf. Genoways & Schlitter 1981, Hafner et al. 1997). Po drugi strani pa je v pregledu, ki sta ga v začetku 80-ih let objavila Genoways & Schlitter (1981), zabeleženih samo 87 zbirk sesalcev z več kot 10.000 primerki. Zbirka sesalcev v Prirodoslovnem muzeju Slovenije je v geografskem pogledu regionalna, večina primerkov pa izvira iz jugovzhodne Evrope (SEE); ta delež znaša 17.216 primerkov, kar pomeni 85,1 % vseh katalo-giziranih sesalcev. Neenakomerna geografska zastopanost je očitna tudi v sami regiji. Zelo dobro je zastopan zahodni Balkan, ki se pokriva z mejami nekdanje Socialistične federativne republike Jugoslavije (površina približno 2 x 105 km2); od tod je 16.876 primerkov (= 98,0 % vseh iz SEE). Nadalje, 11.214 muzejskih primerkov (t. j. 65,1 % primerkov iz SEE in 55,4 % vseh katalogiziranih) je z razmeroma majhnega ozemlja Slovenije (površina približno 2 x 104 km2). Takšno nesorazmerje v zastopanosti je razumljivo, ker je Prirodoslovni muzej Slovenije pretežno nacionalna ustanova. 4 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJO KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I Table 1. Specimen holdings according to separate countries in the Mammal collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History. Only the material from South-eastern Europe is taken into consideration. Tabela 1. Število primerkov glede na državo v Zbirki sesalcev Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije. Upoštevan je samo material iz jugovzhodne Evrope. Country # vouchers Percent (%) Država St. osebkov Odstotek (%) Bosnia and Herzegovina 919 5.3 Croatia 934 5.4 Greece 150 0.9 Kosovo 72 0.4 Macedonia 1854 10.8 Montenegro 704 4.1 Slovenia 11,214 65.1 Serbia 1,178 6.9 Turkey (in Europe) 191 1.1 Total / Skupaj_17,216_100.0 As seen above, the Museum holds mainly vouchers from the Western Balkans, a region that is considered a biodiversity hotspot on the European scale for species in general (Gaston & David 1994) and for mammals in particular (Krystufek & Griffiths 2002, Krystufek 2004). Unsurprisingly for a biodiversity hot spot, a high proportion of species has small ranges, i.e. showing at least one attribute of rarity. This holds also for mammals in the north-eastern corner of the Mediterranean, where 19.3% of species occupying the Balkans and Anatolia have ranges <105 km2 (Krystufek et al. 2009). Species that occupy a small-range or are rare for some other reason are frequently underrepresented in museum collections. Again, it is not surprising that many Balkan endemics (e.g. Talpa stako-vici, Dinaromys bogdanovi, Mesocricetus newtoni, and Microtus felteni) are missing from many distinguished international zoological collections, while regional and local collections may hold their representative samples. The Collection is in a possession, for example, of probably the largest collections of the rare Balkan endemic Martino's Vole Dinaromys bogdanovi (216 museum specimens) and of the Edible Dormouse Glis glis (2,243 vouchers, mainly skulls). Kot smo videli, je večina materiala v Priro-doslovnem muzeju z zahodnega Balkana, torej območja, ki je v evropskih razmerah vroča točka biodiverzitete, tako nasploh (Gaston & David 1994) kot tudi glede sesalcev (Kryštu-fek & Griffiths 2002, Kryštufek 2004). Kot je značilno za biodiverzitetne vroče točke, ima visok odstotek vrst na Balkanu majhne areale, s čimer izkazujejo najmanj en vidik redkosti. Povedano velja tudi za sesalce v severovzhodnem kotu Sredozemlja. Od vrst, ki naseljujejo Balkan in Malo Azijo, jih ima kar 19.3 % areale, ki so manjši od 105 km2 (Kryštufek et al. 2009a). Vrste z majhnimi areali ali pa vrste, ki so redke zaradi kakšnega drugega razloga, so v muzejskih zbirkah pogosto slabo zastopane. Zato ne preseneča, da mnogi balkanski endemiti (npr. Talpa stakovici, Dina-romys bogdanovi, Mesocricetus newtoni in Microtus felteni) manjkajo v mnogih uglednih mednarodnih zooloških zbirkah, medtem ko so v regionalnih in lokalnih muzejih zastopane z reprezentativnimi vzorci. Zbirka PMS ima tako verjetno največjo zbirko redkega balkanskega endemita, dinarske voluharice Dinaromys bogdanovi (216 muzejskih primerkov) in navadnega polha Glis glis (2244 primerkov, večinoma lobanj). 5 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Our aim in preparing this catalogue was multifold: (i) to provide the interested public with information on the resources deposited in the Mammal Collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History; (ii) to facilitate future curatorial work in the Collection; and (iii) to compile and verify the information associated with museum vouchers. Historical development of the Collection The main source of information on vertebrate collections from the 2nd half of the 19th century and until late 1970s is "The Accession Book of Mammals, Fishes, Reptiles of the Natural History Museum"; this title was undoubtedly given in the post-WWII period. When digitalized (in December 2008), a new title was given for no obvious reason: "The Accession Book of Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Fishes, Lampreys, and Freshwater Crabs". Hereafter we shall refer to this source as to Catalogue. Information in the Catalogue was typed to file cards prior to WWII (Fig. 1); we refer subsequently to this source of information as Files. In some cases, file cards contain information, which is not available in the Catalogue. S pripravo tega kataloga sva sledila več ciljem: (i) zainteresirani javnosti omogočiti dostop do informacije, ki je shranjena v Zbirki sesalcev Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije; (ii) pospešiti in olajšati nadaljnje kuratorsko delo v Zbirki in (iii) zbrati in preveriti informacije, ki spremljajo muzejske primerke. Zgodovinski razvoj Zbirke Glavni vir podatkov o zbirkah vretenčarjev od druge polovice 19. stoletja do 70-ih let prejšnjega stoletja je "Inventarna knjiga sesalcev, rib, ptic, plazilcev Prirodoslovnega muzeja"; naslov nedvomno izvira iz obdobja po 2. svetovni vojni. Ko je bila Inventarna knjiga decembra 2008 digitalizirana, ji je bil iz neznanega razloga dan nov naslov, in sicer "Inven-tarna knjiga razstavne zbirke sesalcev, ptičev, plazilcev, dvoživk, rib, piškurjev, tudi potočnih rakov". V nadaljevanju se bova sklicevala na ta vir kot na Katalog. Pred 2. svetovno vojno so informacijo v Katalogu pretipkali na kartoteč -ne liste (sl. 1); ta vir informacije navajava kot Kartoteko. V nekaterih primerih je na kartotečnih listkih informacija, ki ni navedena v Katalogu. Figure 1. File card for a museum voucher #335; front (left) and back sides (right).

V Muzeju se ni ohranil nobeden od primerkov, zabeleženih na tej strani. 7 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Acquisitions were entered into the Catalogue separately according to classes, and the pages are numbered (266 pages). Mammals (titled only as Saugethiere; Fig. 2) are listed in pages 1-36 under 652 acquisition numbers. The numbering of acquisitions was not always consistent, with insertions (incl. duplications) breaking the continuity in pages 12 (years 1909-1911), 13 (years 1915 and 1918), and 26 (year 1946). Between 1888 and 1978, at least 812 individual mammals were catalogued under 666 acquisition numbers. The Catalogue was initiated in 1888, i.e. in the year when Karl Deschmann published his Guide Through the Carniolan Provincial Museum Rudolfinum (Deschmann 1888). Considering that Deschmann was employed by the Museum as curator and conservator ("Museumcustos und k. k. Conservator"), this is certainly no coincidence. Deschmann, who had keen interest in natural history, evidently saw a need to revise the vertebrate collection of the Museum. Each page in the Catalogue is divided into nine columns (Fig. 2) for (i) the acquisition number (in our text always accompanied by a number sign #), (ii) the taxonomic name, (iii) the locality, (iv) the number of specimens (individuals), (v) the year of exhibition, (vi) the collector, (vii) the price (twin column), and (viii) the dismissal of the voucher. Evidently, there is no column for the collecting date, therefore it is frequently not clear whether the date (year) is to be interpreted as the date of collection, of acquisition, or of putting the specimen on display. Post-1888 inscriptions are better labelled in this respect and the year of collection can be deduced from the column (iii), where it is inscribed together with the locality. Numbers in the column (v) for older specimens are largely the year of exhibition or of cataloguing the specimen. The 66 vouchers with 1888 as the year of exhibition are, for example, by far too high number of acquisitions for a single year (cf. Fig. 3). Note that the reports for the museum documented acquisitions of V preteklosti so muzejske pridobitve vpisali v Katalog ločeno po razredih; strani so oštevilčene (266 strani). Sesalci (naslovljeni le kot Saugethiere; sl. 2) so vpisani na straneh 1-36 pod 652 kataloškimi številkami. Oštevilčenje muzealij ni bilo vselej dosledno, sklenjenost pa prekinjajo vrinjene številke in dvojniki, ki so vidni na straneh 12 (vpisi za leti 1909-1911), 13 (leti 1915 in 1918) in 26 (leto 1946). Med letoma 1888 in 1978 je bilo pod 666 številkami katalogiziranih najmanj 812 osebkov sesalcev. Začetek Kataloga sega v leto 1888. V tem letu je Karl Deschmann objavil Vodnik po zbirkah Kranjskega deželnega muzeja Rudolfinum (Deschmann 1888). Glede na to, da je bil Deschmann v Muzeju zaposlen kot kustos in konservator ("Museumcustos und k. k. Conservator"), sočasnosta teh dogodkov zagotovo ni naključna. Nedvomno je Deschmann, ki je kazal veliko zanimanje za naravoslovje, videl potrebo po reviziji zbirke vretenčarjev v Muzeju. Vsaka stran v Katalogu ima devet stolpcev (sl. 2) za (i) kataloško številko (v najinem tekstu vselej označena z znakom za številke #), (ii) taksonomsko ime, (iii) nahajališče, (iv) število primerkov, (v) leto razstave, (vi) zbiratelja (najditelja), (vii) ceno (v dveh kolonah) in (viii) podatke o odtujitvi. V oči bode dejstvo, da manjka stolpec za datum, ko je bil primerek zbran na terenu. Tako ni vselej jasno, ali se datum (leto) nanaša na čas nabiranja, pridobitve za muzej, ali pa na vključitev muzealije v razstavno zbirko. Vpisi po letu 1888 vsebujejo natančnejše podatke tudi o datumu nabiranja, ki pa je vpisan v stolpec (iii), torej skupaj z nahajališčem. Številke v stolpcu (v) pri starejših primerkih skoraj vselej pomenijo leto razstave ali pa katalogiziranja. Npr. 66 primerkov s 1888 kot letom razstave je veliko preobsežna pridobitev za eno samo leto (cf. sl. 3). V tem primeru je šlo nedvomno za ponovno katalogizacijo muzealij "iz stare zaloge". Tudi poročilo za muzej navaja za obdobje od 16. novembra 1887 do 31. avgusta 8 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJO KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I only four mammals for the period from 16 November 1887 to 31 August 1889 (Proceedings 1888, 1889). Therefore, the majority of the 66 specimens were most certainly re-catalogued mounts from "the old supply". The re-cataloguing, which was initiated in 1888, continued well into 1889. The results of the two years of work were 199 acquisition numbers for 230 museum specimens. Of these, the year of exhibition is known for 101 specimens (43.9%): 66 specimens are from 1888, four specimens from 1889, while 31 specimens predate 1888. In the last category, the following years are documented: 1856 (for 2 specimens), 1858 (1 specimen), 1859 (1 specimen), 1860 (3 specimens), 1861 (3 specimens), 1868 (1 specimen), 1875 (1 specimen), 1876 (2 specimens), 1877 (1 specimen), 1878 (1 specimen), 1879 (4 specimens), 1881 (3 specimens), 1883 (1 specimen), 1885 (2 specimens), 1886 (2 specimens), and 1887 (3 specimens). Cataloguing of the old collection, however, was not completed even in 1889, which means that specimens "from the old supply" were given new acquisition numbers still in the late 1920s. E.g. a mandible of a cave lion, excavated in Postojna cave by Freyer in 1819 (Rakovec 1951), acquired number #349 as late as in 1929. During the 89 years, which elapsed between 1890 and the last acquisition recorded in 1978, 529 mammalian specimens were acquired by the museum. There were no acquisitions in 27 years (30.3%), a single acquisition per year in 11 years (12.4%), 2-10 acquisitions in 37 years (41.2%), 13-22 acquisitions in 9 years (10.0%), and 30 acquisitions and more (up to 48 acquisitions per year) in five years (6.0%). The average gain of new acquisitions was therefore low (the median = 2; the central quartiles = 0-7), and many of them were "from the old supply". Originally, the Collection consisted of tax-idermic mounts. It is generally claimed that the first collection was built up by Henrik Freyer (1802-1866), who was employed by the Museum as curator from 1832 to 1854. Between 1889 pridobitve vsega skupaj štirih sesalcev (Obravnave 1888, 1889). Rekatalogizacija, ki je bila začeta leta 1888, se je nadaljevala še v leto 1889. Rezultat dela dveh let je bil 199 kataloških številk za 230 muzejskih primerkov. Od teh je leto razstave navedeno za 101 primerek (43.9 %): 66 primerkov je iz leta 1888, štirje so iz leta 1889, 31 pa jih je izpred leta 1888. Med zadnjimi so zapisana naslednja leta: 1856 (za 2 primerka), 1858 (1 primerek), 1859 (1 primerek), 1860 (3 primerki), 1861 (3 primerki), 1868 (1 primerek), 1875 (1 primerek), 1876 (2 primerka), 1877 (1 primerek), 1878 (1 primerek), 1879 (4 primerki), 1881 (3 primerki), 1883 (1 primerek), 1885 (2 primerka), 1886 (2 primerka) in 1887 (3 primerki). Katalogiziranje stare zbirke pa ni bilo končano niti v letu 1889, tako da so bili primerki "iz stare zaloge" katalogizirani še v poznih 20-ih letih prejšnjega stoletja. Npr. spodnja čeljustni-ca jamskega leva, ki ga je Freyer izkopal v Postojnski jami leta 1819 (Rakovec 1951), je dobil številko #349 šele leta 1929. V 89 letih, kolikor jih je preteklo med 1890 in zadnjo katalogizirano pridobitvijo leta 1978, je prišlo v muzej 529 primerkov sesalcev. V 27 letih (30,3 %) ni bilo nobenih pridobitev, v 11 letih (12,4 %) je muzej letno pridobil po en sam primerek, v 37 letih (41,2 %) je bilo po 2-10 pridobitev na leto, v 9 letih (10,0 %) po 13-22 pridobitev in v petih letih (6,0 %) po 30 pridobitev in več (največja letna pridobitev je znašala 48 primerkov). Povprečna letna pridobitev je bila torej razmeroma majhna (mediana = 2; centralna kvartila = 0-7), mnoge od teh pridobitev pa so bile "iz starih zalog". Prvotno je Zbirka vključevala le dermopla-stične preparate. Po splošnem prepričanju je zbirko začel graditi Henrik Freyer (1802-1866), ki je med letoma 1832 in 1854 deloval v Muzeju kot kustos. V letih 1832-1835 je Freyer sam 9 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 50 40 Brelih Bevk Martino Figure 3. Annual acquisitions of mammals between 1890 and 1978. The high number of acquisition numbers in the 1920s results from specimens being catalogised "from the old supply". Major contributions of specimens for research purposes were by Vladimir E. Martino, Stanko Bevk and Savo Brelih. Slika 3. Letne pridobitve sesalcev med letoma 1890 in 1978. Razmeroma veliko število vpisanih primerkov v 20-ih letih prejšnjega stoletja je posledica katalogiziranja preparatov "iz stare zaloge". Večino študijskih primerkov so prispevali Vladimir E. Martino, Stanko Bevk in Savo Brelih. 1832 and 1835, Freyer himself prepared 53 mammals, "from the largest to the smallest species" (Bufon 1966). In subsequent years, these taxidermic mounts were either discarded or are now anonymous due to loss of appropriate labels. The labels, if at all attached to specimens, were removed in the past for various reasons, like the exhibition purposes or simply due to carelessness. The oldest vouchers documented in the Catalogue are from 1856 and postdate Freyer's death. Freyer undoubtedly used museum specimens for his checklist of vertebrates occupying the Province of Carniola (Freyer 1842), in which he listed 43 species of free-living mammals, five domestic species and two species of fossil mammals. Osteological specimens made up a smaller part of the old collection. Before WWII, the Museum mounted a fine exhibition of skeletons, which were displayed in metal cabinets prepariral 53 sesalcev "od največjih do najmanjših vrst" (Bufon 1966). V naslednjih letih so bili ti preparati bodisi zavrženi, ali pa so danes anonimni zaradi izgube etiket. Etikete, če so bili preparati z njimi sploh opremljeni, so v preteklosti odstranjevali iz različnih razlogov, npr. razstavnih namenov, ali pa preprosto iz malomarnosti. Najstarejši muzejski primerki, dokumentirani v Katalogu, so iz leta 1856, torej iz obdobja po Freyerjevi smrti. Nobenega dvoma ni, da je Freyerjev katalog vretenčarjev Kranjske temeljil prav na muzejskem materialu (Freyer 1842). V njem je navedenih 43 vrst prosto živečih sesalcev, pet udomačenih in dve fosilni vrsti. Okostja so v stari zbirki sestavljala manjšino. Pred 2. svetovno vojno je Muzej pripravil izvrstno osteološko zbirko, ki je bila razstavljena v kovinskih omarah (sl. 4). Ta zbirka 10 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJO KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I Figure 4.

This collection remained virtually intact given that it was kept hidden behind an artificial wall since 1956 and was not affected by the contemporary major reconstruction of displays. It is not known when the Museum developed interest in a collection as a source of scientific accuracy in faunal and taxonomic research. This probably occurred in the late 1920s. The acquisitions for 1929, for example, list five fox skulls (#339-343), which are meticulously equipped with the locality and the year of collection. Although sex and the external measurements are missing, this small series may je bila ob veliki preureditvi muzejskih razstav leta 1956 zakrita, zato je ostala v veliki meri nedotaknjena. Ni znano, kdaj se je Muzej začel zanimati za zbirke kot vir znanstvene zanesljivosti ta-ksonomskih in favnističnih raziskav. Do tega je morda prišlo v poznih 20-ih letih prejšnjega stoletja. Med pridobitvami za leto 1929 je zabeleženih pet lisičjih lobanj (#339-343), ki so pedantno opremljene z nahajališčem in letom zbiranja. Čeprav spol in zunanje dimenzije niso zabeležene, ta mala zbirka verjetno 11 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 witness interest in geographic variation and subspecific differentiation of mammals. Series of skulls of game species were acquired also in 1930, but "systematic collection" ("sistematska zbirka") is mentioned for the first time in 1948 for the acquisitions #528 and #529. In 1931, the Museum purchased 18 small mammals from Vladimir E. Martino (1888-1961), then a leading authority on the taxonomy of mammals in Yugoslavia. This acquisition is catalogued under #365-382 (Fig. 5), and further two museum specimens (skins and skulls) from Martino's collection were catalogued (#478 and #479) in 1945. Martino was a resident of Belgrade and was supplying with mammals even the Mammal Collection of the British Museum (Natural History) in London (now the Natural History Museum London). Martino's specimens were prepared as standard museum skins and skulls, with locality, date, sex and external dimensions carefully recorded in specimen tags. Not a single specimen obtained from Martino originated from Slovenia, all being collected in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Macedonia. In 1933, the Museum purchased (probably from J. Lenasi, or Lenassi, a merchant from Zirovski vrh) a sample of 12 water voles (identified as Arvicola sherman sic!), collected on 10 July 1932 at Zirovski vrh (#404-415; Fig. 6). Further five water voles from the same sample were catalogued in 1934 (#419-423). Specimens were sexed, measured and preserved as round skins and skulls. This sample further confirms the interest of the Museum to study mammals in lines with new trends. The circumstances under which this collection was made are entirely unknown. The acquisition for 1939 enlists eight small mammals of five species (#445-452), which were collected at (Ljubljansko) Barje and Ljubljanski grad in January-February 1939, and determined by Josip Jost. It is known that Jost collaborated with V. E. Martino; the patronym Neomys milleri josti Martino & Martino, 1940 (Martino & Martino 1940) proves Jost' skills in collecting and skinning small mammals for kaže na zanimanje za preučevanje geografske spremenljivosti in podvrstne diferenciacije sesalcev. Čeprav je muzej podobno zbirko lobanj lovne divjadi pridobil tudi leta 1930, pa je termin "sistematska zbirka" prvič omenjen šele leta 1948 za pridobitvi #528 in #529. Leta 1931 je Muzej kupil 18 primerkov malih sesalcev od Vladimiija E. Martino (1888-1961), ki je bil v tem obdobju vodilna avtoriteta na področju taksonomije sesalcev, živečih v Jugoslaviji. Ta pridobitev je bila ka-talogizirana pod številkami #365-382 (Fig. 5); nadaljnja dva muzejska primerka iz Martino-jeve zbirke (koži z lobanjama) sta bila katalo-gizirana (#478 in #479) leta 1945. Martino je živel v Beogradu, z materialom pa je oskrboval tudi zbirko sesalcev Britanskega (naravoslovnega) muzeja v Londonu (danes Naravoslovni muzej London). Martinojevi primerki so preparirani kot standardne muzejske kože z lobanjami; na etiketah so skrbno zabeleženi nahajališče, datum, spol in zunanje dimenzije. Niti eden od kupljenih primerkov ni bil zbran v Slo -veniji; vsi so iz Bosne in Hercegovine, Srbije in Makedonije. Leta 1933 je Muzej kupil (verjetno od J. Lenasija, črkovanega tudi Lenassi, trgovca z Žirovskega vrha) zbirko dvanajstih velikih voluharjev (determiniranih kot Arvicola sherman sic!), zbranih 10. julija 1932 na Žirovskem vrhu (#404-415; sl. 6). Nadaljnjih pet živali iz istega vzorca je bilo katalogiziranih leta 1934 (#419423). Primerki so preparirani kot "okrogle" kože (meh ali balg), zabeležen pa je spol in zunanje meritve. Ta vzorec prav tako kaže na interes Muzeja, da preučuje sesalce v skladu z novimi trendi. Žal ne poznamo okoliščin, v katerih je nastala ta zbirka. V pridobitvi za leto 1939 je navedenih osem malih sesalcev, ki pripadajo petim vrstam (#445-452). Zbrani so bili na (Ljubljanskem) Barju in ljubljanskem gradu januarja in februarja 1939, determiniral pa jih je Josip Jošt. Znano je, da je Jošt sodeloval z V. E. Martinojem; patronim Neomys anomalus josti Martino & Martino, 1940 (Martino & Martino 1940) dokazuje Joštovo veščino pri zbiranju in prepariranju malih sesalcev za 12 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJO KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I Figure 5.

It is also known that Jost collected specimens at Ljubljansko barje in 1939-1940 (Krystufek 1982). Further small mammals from Jost were catalogued in 19411943. A noteworthy sample of 42 skulls (#480521; Fig. 7) was donated to the Museum in 1946 by Stanko Bevk (1875-1956). Eighteen species are represented (ten of them are carnivores), collected between 1913 and 1940 in various regions of Slovenia. Bevk undoubtedly used this cranial material to improve scientific accuracy of his handbook on the vertebrates of Slovenia (Bevk 1957). Savo Brelih (1927-2012) was the last Museum curator who had a significant impact on the mammal collection. Between 1951 and 1954 he catalogued 80 mammals, many of which were collected and prepared by him. During this period, acquisitions were catalogued by different persons, but the characteristic handwriting of Brelih is easily recognizable (Fig. 8). In 1954, the Museum acquired 48 specimens, but only 34 specimens were catalogued between 1955 and 1965. In the 1950s, the Museum turned its attention primarily to exhibitions, and the interest in collections rapidly subsided. The current collection steams from the former private collection of B. Krystufek (cf. Genoways & Schlitter 1981) who used since 1978 his book of acquisition instead of the obsolete catalogue, and which became subsequently the new catalogue of the Mammal Collection. It was computerized in the mid-2000s. The main acquisition was a donation by Boris M. Petrov (1917-2004) in 1984 of a collec -tion of small mammals from the former Yugoslavia (Fig. 9). The collection mainly consists of skulls and dry skins with hair inside. Part of skins was later dampened allowing them to be stuffed as round skins. The majority of specimens were collected between 1965 and 1983. A smaller part of Petrov's collection from before 1950 is nearly uniformly labelled only by collector's field numbers with no supplementary catalogue. raziskovalne zbirke. Prav tako je znano, da je Jošt zbiral na Ljubljanskem barju (Kryštu-fek 1982). Nadaljnji mali sesalci, dobljeni od Jošta, so bili katalogizirani v letih 1941-1943. Pomembno zbirko 42 lobanj (#480-521; sl. 7) je leta 1946 podaril Muzeju Stanko Bevk (1875-1956). V materialu je zastopanih 18 vrst (med njimi 10 vrst zveri), ki so bile zbrane med letoma 1913 in 1940 v različnih območjih Slovenije. Bevk je ta kraniološki material nedvomno uporabljal pri pripravi svojega dela "Vretenčarji Slovenije" (Bevk 1957). Savo Brelih (1927-2012) je bil zadnji muzejski kustos, ki je pomembno vplival na zbirko sesalcev. Med letoma 1951 in 1954 je katalogiziral 80 sesalcev, od katerih je mnoge sam zbral in prepariral. V tem obdobju so muzejske pridobitve katalogizirale različne osebe. Kljub temu so Brelihovi vpisi lahko pre -poznavni po njegovem značilnem rokopisu (sl. 8). Leta 1954 je Muzej pridobil 48 primerkov, v celotnem obdobju 1955-1965 pa samo 34. V 50-ih letih preteklega stoletja se je Muzej vse bolj ukvarjal z razstavami, zanimanje za zbirke pa je hitro plahnelo. Sedanja muzejska zbirka izvira iz nekdanje zasebne zbirke B. Kryštufka (cf. Genoways & schlitter 1981). Po letu 1978 je Kryštu-fek namesto zastarelega Kataloga uporabljal svojo knjigo pridobitev, ki je tudi postala katalog obstoječe Zbirke sesalcev. Katalog je bil sredi preteklega desetletja digitaliziran. Glavna pridobitev je bila donacija zbirke Borisa M. Petrova (1917-2004) leta 1984, ki vključuje predvsem male sesalce nekdanje Jugoslavije (sl. 9). Zbirka sestoji v glavnem iz lobanj in delno prepariranih kož, ki so sušene tako, da je odlakana stran obrnjena navznoter. Del kož je bil v preteklosti navlažen, kar je omogočilo njihovo prepariranje kot standardne muzejske kožice (balgi). Večina primerkov je bila zbrana v letih 1965-1983. Manjši del Petro -vove zbirke izpred leta 1950 je skoraj v celoti etiketiran samo s terensko številko, vendar je brez spremljevalnih terenskih beležk. 17 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Figure 9.

Table 2 summarizes specimen holdings in the region. Data are incomplete and biased as surveys extended over a period of three decades. Data on collections in national museums (Belgrade), regional museums (Pristhina, Podgorica) and universities (e.g. Patras and Edirne) are missing. Despite these gaps, the overall holdings within the region exceed 50 thousand specimens, which is a significant resource. Although numbers in Table 2 are to be interpreted with great caution, it is evident that the PMS Mammal Collection is among the largest in the region.

The Museum holds 279 specimens of 23 species in 15 genera and 10 families (Table 3). The great majority of specimens are lagomorphs (36.3%) and hedgehogs (57.9%). The specimens in the Slovenian Museum of Natural History originate from 23 countries in five biogeographical regions: the Palaearc-tic (89.2% of vouchers), the Nearctic (1.1%), Ethiopian (2.9%), Oriental (1.1%), and Australian (1.1%). The majority of individuals are from Slovenia (44.4% of the total) and from Macroscelidea, Afrosoricida, Scandentia, Hyracoidea, Didelphimorphia, Diprotodontia in Monotremata. V Muzeju je 279 primerkov, ki pripadajo 23 vrstam iz 15 rodov in 10 družin (tabela 3). Velika večina teh primerkov so zajci, kunci in žvižgači (36,3 %) in ježi (57,9 %). Material v Prirodoslovnem muzeju Slovenije izvira iz 23 držav v petih biogeograf-skih regijah: palaearktis (89,2 % muzejskih primerkov), nearctis (1,1 %), ethiopis (2,9 %), orientalis (1,1 %) in avstralis (1,1 %). Večina primerkov je iz Slovenije (44,4 % vseh primerkov) in iz jugovzhodne Evrope (78,0 % vseh 21 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 South-Eastern Europe (78.0% of the total). Specimens were collected in 90 localities within Slovenia (45.0% of all localities) and 110 localities (55.0%) abroad; total sum is 200 localities (cf. Gazetter of localities at the end). The majority of specimens are preserved as skulls (84.8% of vouchers) or skins and skulls. About one third (35.7%) of museum specimens are skins, while 1.4% of them are saved as skeletons. Further 9.4% of individuals are taxider-mic mounts; these include historic specimens which, however, frequently lack appropriate labels. Only 4.0% of individuals are preserved in ethanol (Table 5). primerkov). Primerki so bili zbrani na 90 nahajališčih v Sloveniji (45,0 % vseh nahajališč) in 110 nahajališčih v tujini (55,0 %); skupni seštevek je 200 nahajališč (cf. Seznam nahajališč na koncu). Primerki so večinoma ohranjeni kot lobanje (84,8 % vseh primerkov) ali kot kože in lobanje. Približno tretjino (35,7 %) primerkov sestavljajo kože, od 1,4 % primerkov pa je shranjeno tudi okostje. Nadaljnjih 9,4 % primerkov so dermoplastični preparati; večina izmed njih je zgodovinski material, ki pa pogosto ni ustrezno etiketiran. Samo 4,0 % primerkov je shranjenih v etanolu (tabela 5).

Exhibited on 15 December 1959. Proceedings report on donations of Mountain Hares (as "planinski zajec") in the periods of 1 January - end of December 1894 (Proceedings 1895; two individuals obtained from F. Rupnik, "forestry superintendent in Radoljica [= Radovljica]") and of 1 October 1897 - end of September 1898 (Proceedings 1899; one specimen from Sorica, obtained from "Dean Susnik"). None of these donations is evident from the Catalogue. The Museum is in possession of six Mountain Hares belonging to two subspecies: the nominotypical L. t. timidus (PMS 19650 from Uppsala, Sweden, which is the type locality for the species; Miller, 1912: 527), and L. t. varronis (specimens from Slovenia). The four hares in the Museum, which are prepared as standard museum skins and skulls, were collected between 1990 and 1996. As evident from the Catalogue, eleven Mountain Hares were acquired prior to 1960, with the majority of them (eight) received by the Museum before 1900. Only one of these hares (a taxidermy PMS 19651) is still in the Collection; one taxidermy was disposed in 1913, two in 1922, and further two in 1949; the remaining taxidermic specimens were discarded at unknown times. Taxidermic mount PMS 19651 was published by Kos (1933), together with a photograph, but no details are provided.

Nobeno od teh daril ni navedeno v Katalogu. V Muzeju je šest primerkov planinskih zajcev, ki pripadajo dvema podvrstama: nomi-notipski L. t. timidus (PMS 19650 iz Uppsale, Švedska, ki je tipsko nahajališče vrste; Miller, 1912: 527), in L. t. varronis (primerki iz Slovenije). Štirje primerki v Prirodoslovnem muzeju, ki so preparirani kot standardne muzejske kože z lobanjami, so bili pridobljeni v letih 1990-1996. Kot je razvidno iz Kataloga, je bilo enajst planinskih zajcev pridobljenih pred letom 1960, večina od njih (osem) pa je bila v Muzeju že pred letom 1900. Samo eden od teh zajcev (dermoplastika PMS 19651) je še vedno v Zbirki; ena dermoplastika je bila zavržena leta 1913, dve v letu 1922 in nadaljnji dve leta 1949; preostali muzejski preparati so bili odstranjeni iz Muzeja v neznanem času. Dermoplastični preparat PMS 19651 je objavil Kos (1933), skupaj s fotografijo, ne navaja pa nobenih podrobnosti. Te dermoplastike ni 27 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Figure 11.

Očitna je povezava med znanstvenim imenom in imenom v nemščini iz srednjega stolpca "Lepus timidus" s "Feldhase" in "Lepus variabilis" z "Alpenhase". Znanstvena imena so bila revidirana, slovenska imena pa dodana (vpisi v svetlejšem črnilu) po 27 decembru 1926: "europaeus Pall." (= Pallas) in "Poljski zajec" (primerki #138, #139 in #141), in "varronis Mill." (= Miller) in "Planinski zajec" (#143). Primerki s prečrtanimi imeni so bili odstranjeni iz Muzeja decembra 1949 (#138, skupaj z #139) in 27. decembra 1926 (#142 in #144). The oldest Mountain Hares in the Museum (#142 and #143 from the 1880s, and #216 from 1894) were named, at the time of cataloguing, by the German vernacular "Schneehafe", in addition to the technical name Lepus variabilis (Fig. 12). The Slovene vernacular "planinski zajec" (= mountain hare) appeared in Najstarejši planinski zajci v Muzeju (#142 in #143 iz 1880-ih, in #216 iz 1894) so bili v času katalogiziranja poimenovani z nemškim imenom "Schneehafe" in s tehničnim imenom Lepus variabilis (sl. 11). Slovensko ime "planinski zajec" se v Katalogu prvič pojavi leta 1910 (za muzejski primerek brez kataloške 29 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 the catalogue for the first time in 1910 (for an individual without a catalogue number) and was used for all subsequent acquisitions. This vernacular was added to pre-1900 acquisitions while revised sometimes between 27 December 1926 and December 1949. In public communication, the vernacular "planinski zajec" was persistently used since 1842 when introduced by Freyer (see above). It was used in Proceedings at least since 1894 (Proceedings 1895: 240) and in all major mammal texts published during the 20th century (Kos 1933, Bevk 1957, Miric 1970, Krystufek 1991, Krystufek & Janzekovic 1999). Mountain Hares catalogued between 1888 and 1910 (#142, #143, #144, #216, and a specimen from 1910 with no catalogue number) were consistently labelled as Lepus variabilis; L. variabilis Pallas, 1778 is a renaming of timidus and is now a junior synonym of the nominotypi-cal subspecies (Ellermann & Morrison-scot 1951: 139). Mountain Hare of the Alps was first described as a species in its own right Lepus varronis (Miller 1901: 27), but subsequently classified as a subspecies of the widespread Lepus timidus, therefore L. t. varronis (Miller 1912). The combination Lepus varronis was applied in the Catalogue for the first time in 1920 (acquisitions #251 and #252) and again in 1922 (#266). This suggests that Miller's "Catalogue of the European Mammals" (Miller 1912) was still not used in the early 1920s in the Museum as the taxonomic and nomenclat-ural source. It is worth mentioning that the nomenclature by Trouessart (1910) was similarly ignored in the Museum practice. Trouessart (l.c.) considered varronis as a subspecies of Lepus medius Nilsson, 1908 (now junior synonym of L. europaeus; Hoffmann & Smith 2005) and restricted timidus to the northern populations of Mountain Hares (collinus, hiber-nicus, lutescens, etc.). The first Mountain Hare in the Museum collection, which was labelled as Lepus timidus varronis, was catalogued in 1934 (#425). številke), uporabili pa so ga tudi pri vseh kasnejših vpisih te vrste. Ko so v obdobju med 27. decembrom 1926 in decembrom 1949 revidirali Katalog, so vsem planinskim zajcem, pridobljenim pred letom 1900, dodali tudi slovensko ime vrste. Ime "planinski zajec" se je v javnosti stalno uporabljalo najmanj od leta 1842, ko ga je zapisal Freyer (glej zgoraj). V obravnavah se to ime uporablja od leta 1894 (Obravnave 1895: 240), navedeno pa je tudi v vseh pomembnejših delih o sesalcih, objavljenih v 20. stoletju (Kos 1933, Bevk 1957, Miric 1970, Krystufek 1991, Krystufek & Janžekovič 1999). Planinski zajci, katalogizirani med letoma 1888 in 1910 (#142, #143, #144, #216 in primerek iz leta 1910, ki je brez kataloške številke), so bili dosledno vpisani kot Lepus variabilis; L. variabilis Pallas, 1778 je preimenovanje L. timidus, tako da je mlajši sinonim nominotip-ske podvrste (Ellermann & Morrison-scot 1951: 139). Planinski zajci iz Alp so bili najprej opisani kot samostojna vrsta Lepus varronis (Miller 1901: 27), kasneje pa uvrščeni v široko razširjeno vrsto Lepus timidus kot podvrsta L. t. varronis (Miller 1912). Kombinacija Lepus varronis je v Katalogu prvič uporabljena leta 1920 (primerka #251 in #252) in nato ponovno leta 1922 (#266). To kaže, da se Mil-lerjev "Katalog evropskih sesalcev" (Miller 1912) v zgodnjih 20-ih letih prejšnjega stoletja v Muzeju še ni uporabljal kot taksonomski in nomenklaturni vir. Omeniti velja, da je bila v muzejski praksi ignorirana tudi nomenklatura, ki jo je uporabljal Trouessart (1910). Trouessart (l.c.) je obravnaval ime varronis kot podvrstno ime Lepus medius Nilsson, 1908 (dejansko mlajši sinonim L. europaeus; Hoffmann & Smith 2005), ime timidus pa je omejil na severne populacije planinskih zajcev (collinus, hibernicus, lutescens etc.). Prvi planinski zajec v muzejski zbirki, ki je bil kata-logiziran z imenom Lepus timidus varronis, je bil primerek #425 iz leta 1934. 30 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJO KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I Taxonomy Since the beginning of the 20th century, the isolated population of Mountain Hares in the Alps has been considered to belong to an endemic taxon varronis (Miller 1901, 1912, Ellerman & Morrison-Scott 1951, Thulin & Flux 2003). Martino (1935) stressed in his revision of hares of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia that he was not in a possession of museum vouchers for the Mountain Hare (footer on p. 213). Bulic & Miric (1967: 17) and Miric (1970: 88) classified mountain hares of Slovenia as L. timidus varronis. Although neither the Natural History Museum in Belgrade, where Miric worked, nor the Department of Zoology at the University in Zagreb, where Bulic was employed, are in a possession of Mountain Hares from the former Yugoslavia (personal communications by Drs. Milan Paunovic and Marko Caleta, respectively), there are at least two taxidermies in the Croatian Natural History Museum (HPM) in Zagreb (personal communication by Dr. Nikola Tvrtkovic). It is therefore plausible to assume that the subspecies designation, as reported in Bulic & Miric (l.c.), resulted from the examination of museum specimens, and was not based merely on geographic assumption. One of the HPM specimens originate from Carinthia ("Koruska"; collected in 1901 and donated by Countess Jelacic), while the other one was purchased at Bohinjska Bistrica on 14 December 1931 (N. Tvrtkovic in litt.). The Alpine subspecies varronis was diagnosed on the basis of its small size: "Occipi-tonasal length of adult skulls ranging from 85 to 93 mm" (as opposed to 95-103 mm in L. t. timidus); ears (90-100 mm) are longer than in L. t. scoticus (80-90 mm; Miller 1912:496). Dimensions of PMS material match the range for varronis in the occipitonasal length, but not the ear length. Cranial dimensions are mainly within the range reported for Mountain Hares from the Austrian Alps (Bauer 2001). Taksonomija Vse od začetka 20. stoletja velja populacija planinskih zajcev, ki je izolirana v Alpah, za endemičen takson varronis (Miller 1901, 1912, Ellerman & MORRISON-SCOTT 1951, Thulin & Flux 2003). Martino (1935) je v reviziji zajcev Kraljevine Jugoslavije poudaril, da ni imel na voljo nobenega preparata planinskega zajca (podpis na str. 213). Bulič & Mirič (1967: 17) in Mirič (1970: 88) so planinske zajce iz Slovenije opredelili kot L. timidus varronis. V Prirodoslovnem muzeju v Beogradu, kjer je bil zaposlen Miric, in na Zavodu za zoo-logijo Univerze v Zagrebu, kjer je delala Beatrica Bulic, ni nobenega planinskega zajca z območja nekdanje Jugoslavije (osebna komunikacija z dr. Milanom Paunovicem in dr. Markom Caleto). Najmanj dva dermoplastič-na preparata sta shranjena v Hrvaškem priro-doslovnem muzeju (HPM) v Zagrebu (osebna komunikacija z dr. Nikolo Tvrtkovicem). To dejstvo dopušča domnevo, da je uvrstitev v podvrsto, kot jo navajata Bulič & Mirič (l.c.), temeljila na pregledu muzejskih primerkov, ne pa samo na geografiji temelječih predvidevanjih. Eden izmed primerkov v HPM izvira iz Koroške ("Koruška"; donacija grofice Jelačic iz leta 1901), drugi pa je bil 14 decembra 1931 kupljen v Bohinjski Bistrici (N. Tvrtkovic in litt.). Alpska podvrsta varronis je bila opredeljena na osnovi majhne rasti: "Okcipitonazal-na dolžina odraslih lobanj niha od 85 do 93 mm" (pri L. t. timidus je razpon 95-103 mm); uhlji (dolžina 90-100 mm) so daljši kot pri L. t. scoticus (80-90 mm; Miller 1912:496). Dimenzije okcipitonazalne dolžine lobanje pri primerkih v PMS so v mejah razpona, značilnega za varronis, uhlji pa so nekoliko krajši. Lobanjske dimenzije so podobne kot pri planinskih zajcih iz avstrijskih Alp (Bauer 2001). 31 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Figure 13.

Collected at Črnuče; donated by Johan [Ivan] Luckmann, a merchant from Ljubljana; exhibited in 1890; disposed from the Museum on 5 March 1948. This donation was recorded in the "Proceedings 1892:193", which covers the period from 1. September 1890 till the end of 1891. #275: a skull, obtained on 22 January 1923 from taxidermist Herfort.

Re-catalogued in 2013 as PMS 19648 (see above). Proceedings (1893) report on donation of a hare skin (donated by Mr. Regorsek, merchant from Ljubljana). This acquisition was not catalogued (see the Catalogue). The majority of Brown Hares (= 72%) in the Collection are from Slovenia. Collecting was most intensive in the 1980s (38 hares gathered) for the purposes of the "Mammals of Slovenia" project. Inspection of labels shows that Slovenian animals with known dates of collection (N = 37) were obtained between September and June; three quarters (N = 27, 73%) of these hares are Obravnave (1893) navajajo tudi donacijo kože poljskega zajca, ki jo je daroval g. Regoršek, trgovec iz Ljubljane. Ta pridobitev ni bila katalogizirana (glej Katalog). Večina poljskih zajcev (= 72 %) v Zbirki je iz Slovenije. Zbiranje je bilo najbolj intenzivno v 80-ih letih preteklega stoletja (zbranih 38 zajcev) za namene projekta "Sesalci Slovenije". Pregled etikete pokaže, da so bile živali v Sloveniji z znanim datumom zbiranja (N = 37) dobljene med septembrom in junijem; tri četrtine (N = 27) teh zajcev je iz obdobja med 43 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 from the 1 October - 15 December period, i.e. from the hunting season stipulated by the law. Fourteen Brown Hares were catalogued in the Catalogue between 1888 and 1960, with five of them from the 19th century. Museum vouchers were disposed from the Museum gradually over six decades: 1894 (1 specimen), 1948 (1 specimen), 1949 (1 specimen), 1954 (1 specimen), and 1956 (2 specimens); the remaining vouchers were discarded at unknown times. Nomenclature Freyer (1842:5) reported the Brown Hare as "L.[epus] timidus L.", with the following vernacular names "gemeiner hafe" and "Feldhafe" (German), and "divji sajz" in Slovene ["krainifch or windifch"], with "sajka" for a female. The name timidus was in use for Brown Hare Lepus europaeus throught the 19th century and into the early 20th century; in the former Yugoslavia, it was still in use in the 1920s (Martino 1935). The oldest Brown Hares in the Museum (#138-141 from 1888-1889 and #200 from 1890-1891) were labelled as "Lepus timidus", but accompanied by the German vernacular "Feldhafe"; this no doubt implies taxonom-ic identity of animals. The name L. europae-us, in combination with the Slovene vernacular "poljski zajec" (= field hare), was used for the first time for the acquisition #275 (catalogued in 1923) and was consistently used for all subsequent acquisitions of Brown Hares. The common name "poljski zajec" was used already in Proceedings (1892: 193) for the acquisition #200; it remained in permanent use throughout the 20th century (Kos 1933, Bevk 1957, Miric 1970, Krystufek 1991, Krystufek & Janzekovic 1999). Taxonomy Brown Hare is a polytypic species; Hoffmann & Smith (2005) list 16 subspecies with unresolved borders of their ranges. The only taxo-nomic revision of hares occupying the former Yugoslavia was conducted by Martino (1935) who recognized two subspecies "which can be 1 oktobrom in 15. decembrom, torej iz lovne sezone, kot jo določa zakon. Med letoma 1888 in 1960 je bilo vknjiže-nih v Katalog 14 zajcev, od katerih jih je bilo pet iz 19. stoletja. Preparate so postopno odstranili iz Muzeja v teku šestih desetletij: po en primerek v letih 1894, 1948, 1949 in 1954, leta 1956 pa dva primerka. Čas, v katerem je bil zavržen preostali material, ni znan. Poimenovanje Freyer (1842:5) je navedel poljskega zajca z imenom "L.[epus] timidus L.", dodal pa je tudi sledeča narodna imena: "gemeiner hafe" in "Feldhafe" (nemško) in "divji sajz" v slovenščini ["krainifch or windifch"]; za samico navaja ime "sajka". Ime timidus je bilo v rabi za poljskega zajca Lepus europaeus vse 19. stoletje in na začetku 20. stoletja; v nekdanji Jugoslaviji so ga uporabljali še v 20-ih letih preteklega stoletja (Martino, 1935). Najstarejši poljski zajci v Muzeju (#138141 iz let 1888-1889 in #200 iz 1890-1891) so bili določeni kot "Lepus timidus", dodano pa jim je tudi nemško ime "Feldhafe"; slednje ne dopušča nobenih dvomov glede dejanske ta-ksonomski identitete živali. Ime L. europaeus, v kombinaciji s slovenskim imenom "poljski zajec", je bilo prvič uporabljeno za primerek, ki je bil katalogiziran leta 1923 pod številko #275. To ime se je odtlej dosledno navajalo pri vseh pridobljenih primerkih. Slovensko ime "poljski zajec" se prvič omenja v obravnavah (1892: 193) za pridobitev #200; kasneje je bilo v rabi skozi celotno 20. stoletje (Kos 1933, Bevk 1957, Mirič 1970, Kryštufek 1991, Kryštufek & Janžekovič 1999). Taksonomija Poljski zajec je politipska vrsta; Hoffmann & Smith (2005) navajata 16 podvrst, katerih meje niso razrešene. Edino taksonomsko revizijo zajcev z ozemlja nekdanje Jugoslavije je opravil Martino (1935). Prepoznal je dve podvrsti , "ki se razlikujejo le z veliko 44 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJO KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I distinguished only with great difficulty" (italicized emphasis by Martino), and only in larger samples. These subspecies were mainly distinguished by their size: the occipitonasal length in "full grown adults" of L. e. transsylvanicus Matschie, 1901 "nearly always exceeds 100 mm", while this "rarely exceeds 100 mm" in L. e. meridiei Hilzheimer, 1906; corresponding cut-off for hind foot length is 140 mm. Besides, the rump in transsylvanicus was said to be more grey-washed than in meridiei. Martino (l.c.) evidently built on Miller (1912), who reported the range of transsylvanicus to stretch between Romania and Peloponnesus (including British Museum vouchers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Albania), and that of meridiei to range between South-Eastern France and the Island of Corfu. As seen from Table 11, the great majority of Brown Hares in the Museum belong to the large morphotype. Although the PMS material was collected with the intention to assess the geographic variation, this never materialized. Morphomet-ric ranges for the Slovenian population were published based on 27 hares: W < 5 kg, H&B 500-610, TL 80-115, HF 135-153, E 102-140, CbL 85-92.1 (Krystufek 1991). In Slovenia, hares were widely translocated between the regions, a practice initiated in 1926 at the latest. Since the1960s, hares were also imported from Croatia, Serbia and Czechoslovakia and released in various regions of Slovenia. Numbers of translocated animals were considerable, e.g. 2,527 hares were imported between December 1968 and January 1969, with the majority of them (68.7%) coming from the former Czechoslovakia (mainly Moravia). The practice continued until 1975 (Krystufek 1991) and its possible impact on the genetic makeup and morphology of native hares is not known. First hares in the Museum, which were scored for external dimensions, were acquired in 1927-1928 (#334 and #335). This attempt to quantify the morphotype more accurately possibly suggests that the Museum staff developed interest in subspecific taxonomy. težavO" (poudarek v poševnem tisku je Mar-tinojev) in samo v večjih serijah. Podvrsti sta se v glavnem razlikovali po velikosti: okcipito-nazalna dolžina "povsem odraslih" primerkov L. e. transsylvanicus Matschie, 1901 "skoraj vselej presega 100 mm", medtem ko pri L. e. meridiei Hilzheimer, 1906 "redko presega 100 mm"; razmejitvena vrednost za dolžino stopala je navedena kot 140 mm. Poleg tega je križ pri transsylvanicus bolj izrazito sivkast kot pa pri meridie. Martino (l.c.) je očitno gradil na takso -nomiji MiLLER-ja (1912), po katerem je območje transsylvanicus segalo od Romunije do Pelo-poneza; tej podvrsti je pripisal tudi material iz Bosne in Hercegovine in Albanije. V podvrsto meridiei je Miller uvrstil zajce z ozemlja med jugovzhodno Francijo in otokom Krf. Kot je razvidno iz tabele 11, pripada večina poljskih zajcev v muzejski Zbirki večjemu morfotipu. Čeprav je bil material zajcev v Zbirki Muzeja zbran z namenom ovrednotenja geografske variabilnosti, do tega ni nikoli prišlo. Objavljeni so bili edinole morfometrični podatki (v obliki razponov variacijske širine) serije 27 zajcev iz Slovenije: W < 5 kg, H&B 500-610, TL 80-115, HF 135-153, E 102-140, CbL 85-92,1 (Kryštu-fek, 1991). V Sloveniji so najkasneje leta 1926 pričeli preseljevati zajce med posameznimi območji. Od 60-ih let prejšnjega stoletja so zajce tudi uvažali iz Hrvaške, Srbije in Češkoslovaške in jih izpuščati v različne predele Slovenije. Obseg tega preseljevanja je bil znaten; samo med decembrom 1968 in januarjem 1969 so izpustili 2527 zajcev, katerih večina (68,7 %) je bila iz bivše Češkoslovaške (predvsem z Mo-ravskega). Ta praksa je potekala vse do leta 1975 (Kryštufek 1991), njenega možnega vpliva na genetski zapis in morfologijo avtohtonih zajcev pa ne poznamo. V Muzeju so prve poljske zajce premerili in zapisali njihove zunanje dimenzije v letih 19271928 (#334 in #335). Ta poskus kvantificiranja morfološke variabilnosti morda kaže na naraščajoče zanimanje za podvrstno taksonomijo. 45 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Figure 21. Taxidermic mounts of Brown Hares Lepus europaeus.

Determination is based on white colouration of the underparts, without ochraceous-buffy bands (skinner & chimimba 2005). Besides, the Scrub Hare is the only hare recorded in the Great Fish River Reserve (AVKR/SKR 1998). Vrstna določitev temelji na beli obarvanosti spodnje strani telesa, brez rumeno-rjavka-stih pasov (skinner & chimimba 2005). Poleg tega je grmiščni zajec edina vrsta rodu Lepus, ki je bila doslej ugotovljena za Great Fish River Reserve (AVKR/SKR 1998). 59 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 The specimen was picked up as fresh carcass in the valley thicket vegetation, consisting of dense stands of woody shrubs and trees interspersed with Euphorbia and grass (Themeda triandra, Sporobolus fimbriatus, Digitaria eriantha). The site was quite rocky. Hares were rarely observed during our field work in the Great Fish River Reserve in 2001-2005. Primerek je bil najden kot sveže truplo v dolinski goščavni vegetaciji, sestoječi iz gostih sestojev lesnatih grmov in dreves, pomešanih z mlečki Euphorbia in travami (Themeda triandra, Sporobolus fimbriatus, Digitaria eriantha). Nahajališče je bilo dokaj skalnato. Med terenskim delom v Great Fish River Reserve v letih 2001-2005 smo zajce opazovali le poredkoma. Table 12.

European Rabbit is native to south-western Europe and north-western Africa, but was introduced across Europe and beyond (Smith & Boyer 2008a). PMS specimens originate from the introduced populations (Fig. 36). European Rabbit is a common domestic animal, but there are no free-living colonies in Slovenia. Feral animals have been observed only occasionally (Krystufek 1991, Janzekovic & Kleno-vsek 2001). The two cranial fragments (PMS 16391 and 19693), which were found in nature, are evidently of domestic origin. All skulls from Slovenia, PMS 19653 in particular (Fig. 40), differ from feral rabbits by their large size (Table 14). Feral skulls belong to two size classes (Table 14), a larger northern type from Central Europe (Fig. 38), and a smaller Mediterranean type (Fig. 39). Cuniculus cuniculus (Kartoteka). Kot nahajališče je zapisano "Laibach" (= Ljubljana), tako da gre očitno za domačo žival. Za Muzej ga je pridobil Ferdinand Schulz, verjetno v 80-ih letih 19. stoletja; odstranjen 20. marca 1956. Kunec je avtohton v jugozahodni Evropi in severozahodni Afriki, naseljen pa je bil v številna območja Evrope in sveta (Smith & Boyer 2008a). Primerki v Zbirki izvirajo iz naseljenih populacij (sl. 36). V Sloveniji je kunec pogosta domača žival, v prosti naravi pa ne živi. Obstajajo le posamična poročila o pobeglih primerkih (KrYŠTUFEK 1991, Janžekovič & Kleno-všek 2001). Dva fragmenta lobanje (PMS 16391 in 19693), ki sta bila najdena v naravi, sta očitno domačega izvora. Vse lobanje iz Slovenije se razlikujejo od prosto živečih kuncev po večjih dimenzijah; to je zlasti očitno pri primerku PMS 19653 (tabela 14, sl. 40). Lobanje prosto živečih kuncev pripadajo dvema velikostnima razredoma (tabela 14): večjemu severnemu tipu (sl. 38) iz celinske Evrope in manjšemu sredozemskemu tipu (sl. 39). Table 14.

Among two species of Cottontail Rabbits, which occupy the south-western part of New Mexico (S. nuttallii is extralimital, Smith & Boyer 2008b), S. auduboni is recognizable externally from S. floridanus by its smaller size (Findley et al. 1975). Classification of a juvenile PMS 20065 is tentative. Near Arrey, one adult male (with scrotal testes) was caught in a Victor-type rat trap, baited with peanut butter. Traps were set in a line along dense shrubby vegetation. The habitat near Captain, where a juvenile carcass was found, was a mesquite shrubland. Cottontails were abundant there. Od dveh vrst belorepih kuncev, ki živita v jugozahodnih območjih Nove Mehike (S. nuttallii v tem predelu ne živi, Smith & Boyer, 2008b), se S. auduboni razlikuje od S. floridanus po manjših dimenzijah (Findley et al. 1975). Uvrstitev mladega primerka PMS 20065 ni zanesljiva. Blizu Arreya je bil odrasel samec (s skro-talnimi testisi) ujet v past tipa Victor rat trap, s kikirikijevim maslom kot vabo. Pasti so bile postavljene v vrsti na robu gostega grmičevja. Habitat blizu Captaina, kjer smo našli truplo mladiča, je bil grmičevje mesquite. Belorepi kunci so bili tu številčni. Figure 41.

Systematics of this genus is notoriously unstable, and taxonomic determination based on morphological traits is rather difficult. For taxonomic identification we primarily relied on Sokolov et al. (2009). Specimens were preserved either as carded skins and skulls or were submerged to ethanol with a skull extracted subsequently (Table 16). Družina: Ochotonidae v Zvižgači V Zbirki sesalcev so žvižgači zastopani s samo petimi vrstami, od skupno 30, kolikor jih v rodu prepoznata Hoffmann & Smith (2005). Sistematska ureditev rodu Ochotona ni stabilna, taksonomska uvrstitev na osnovi morfoloških lastnosti pa je dokaj težavna. Pri določevanju materiala iz Zbirke smo se največ zanašali na Sokolova et al. (2009).

Identification of the animal was based on its (i) moderate size (Table 17), (ii) separation of the incisive foramina from the palatal foramina by processes of the premaxillae, (iii) a lack of perforations in the frontal bones, and (iv) narrow interorbital region (Fig. 46). The specimen was trapped in a small colony which was situated on a barren slope with patches of grass and low shrubs what is typical habitat for the Mongolian Pika (Sokolov et al. 2009). Juveniles were already weaned at the time of collection (Fig. 44). Pikas were the most abundant small mammals in the Ulandrik River Valley. Vrstna določitev osebka temelji na sledečih značilnostih: (i) dimenzije so srednje (tabela 17), (ii) med nebno špranjo in odprtino na nebnici je odrastek predčeljustnice, ki ju loči, (iii) čelnica ni perforirana, (iv) medočnična regija pa je ozka (sl. 46). Primerek je bil ujet v majhni koloniji na golem pobočju, le redko poraslem s šopi trav in nizkim grmičevjem, kar je značilno življenjsko okolje mongolskega žvižgača (Sokolov et al. 2009).

The identification of the specimen was based on the basis of its (i) moderate size (Table 17), (ii) confluent palatal and incisive foramina, (iii) presence of a supraorbital crest, (iv) lack of perforations in the frontal bones (Fig. 49), and (v) white margined ears (Fig. 48). The specimen is from the very north-western margin of the species' range (sokolov et al. 2009). It was collected in a depression with more luxuriant grassy vegetation than the surrounding dry steppe (Fig. 47). The vicinity was inhabited by Marmota baibacina, Urocitellus undula-tus, and Microtus gregalis. Daurian Pikas were uncommon and shy in the part of the Yustit River, which was visited by the collector. Vrstna določitev osebka temelji na sledečih značilnostih: (i) zmerni velikosti (tabela 17), (ii) povezavi med nebno špranjo in odprtino na nebnici, (iii) grebenu nad očnico, (iv) čelnica ni perforirana (sl. 49), (v) uhlji so belo obrobljeni (sl. 48). Muzejski primerek je s skrajnega severozahodnega roba areala vrste (sokolov et al. 2009). Ujet je bil v depresiji z bujnejšo vegetacijo, kot pa je bila značilna za suho stepo v okolici (sl. 47). Okolico so naseljevale sledeče vrste glodavcev: Marmota baibacina, Urocitellus undulatus in Microtus gregalis. Davrski žvižgači so bili maloštevilni in plašni v tistem delu ob reki Yustit, ki jih je obiskal zbiratelj. Figure 47.

Identification of vouchers was based on their (i) small size (Table 17), (ii) separation of the incisive foramina from the palatal foramina by processes of the premaxillae, and (iii) by white margined ears (Fig. 51). Records are well within the range of the species (Sokolov et al. 2009). Specimens were collected in rocky habitats, more specifically, in accumulations of rocks and boulders on hilly slopes. Such habitats were interspersed by patches of Siberian Dwarf Pine (Pinus pumila) with occasional presence of the Siberian Larch (Larix sibirica). At Lake Grand, pikas were never seen, and the only individual was trapped unexpectedly in a trap randomly set within a fixed line. The other small mammals collected from the same habitat were Clethrionomys rutilus and Alticola lemminus. Pikas were more abundant at the Karamken Pass, where the animals and heaps of their excrements were regularly observed in rocky situations. No other small mammals were trapped in pika's habitat. Vrstna določitev osebka temelji na sledečih značilnostih: (i) majhni velikosti (tabela 17), (ii) med nebno špranjo in odprtino na nebnici je odrastek predčeljustnice, ki ju loči, in (iii) belo obrobljenih uhljih (sl. 51). Nahajališči sta globoko znotraj znanega arealu severnega žvižgača (Sokolov et al. 2009). Ob primerka sta bila ujeta v skalnatem habitatu, natančneje v nakopičenem skalovju na pobočju v hriboviti krajini. Takšen habitat so prekinjale zaplate pritlikavega sibirskega bora (Pinus pumila), ki je ponekod rastel skupaj s sibirskim macesnom (Larix sibirica). Pri jezeru Grang v času zbiranja žvižgači niso bili opaženi, edini primerek pa je bil nepričakovano ujet v past, ki je bila postavljena naključno v lovni vrsti. V istem habitat so bili ujeti še primerki Clethri-onomys rutilus in Alticola lemminus. Žvižgači so bili številčnejši na prelazu Karamken, kjer so bila v skalnatih habitatih pogosta opažanja živali in kupčki njihovih iztrebkov. Druge vrste na tej lokaciji v habitatu žvižgačev niso bile ugotovljene. 81 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Figure 50.

Makalu, Base Camp (4900 m a.s.l.): 3 bodies 4540), 3 males, collected on September 16, 20, Roylei's Pikas were gathered during the Yugoslav 1972 Himalaya Expedition to Makalu, with the entire collection of small mammals published subsequently (Gregori & Petrov 1976). Specimens were identified by the late Boris Petrov who adopted the taxonomy of Ellerman & Morrison-Scott (1951). Taxonomic assignment actually followed the previous identification of pikas by Gruber (1969): "Our specimens were determined as O. r. roylei as it had been done by Gruber (1969) for his material" (Gregori & Petrov 1976:8). Daniel & Hanzäk (1985) also classified their sample from the Barun Valley (where Gregori collected the PMS specimens) as O. r. roylei. Given that the taxonomy of Ochotona underwent significant changes in the last decades, we re-identified the material, relying primarily on Mitchell (1978) and Smith & Xie (2008). On the basis of (i) fused palatal and incisive foramina, and (ii) fenestrated anterior frontals (Fig. 53), the PMS material matches description for O. roylei and O. macrotis (Günther, 1875). Mitchell (1978) reported for the eastern Nepal also O. angdawai Biswas & Khajuria, 1955, and O. mitchelli Agrawal & Chakraborty, 1971, which are currently in the synonymy of the nomi-notypical subspecies of O. roylei (Hoffmann & Smith 2005). Our vouchers are classified as O. roylei because of their (iii) moderately long ears (28-30 mm in O. macrotis; Daniel & Hanzäk 1985), which are sparsely haired in their inner surface (Smith & Xie 2008), and (iv) a narrow interorbital region (interorbital width in O. macrotis is 5.2-6.0 mm; Mitchell 1978). The subspecies in eastern Nepal is O. r. roylei (Mitchell 1978), which accords the original taxonomic identification of the PMS material Nepalski žvižgač Zbirka in alcohol, skulls extracted (PMS 4538, 4539, and 24, 1972, by Janez Gregori. Nepalski žvižgači so bili zbrani med jugoslovansko himalajsko odpravo na Makalu leta 1972. Celotna zbirka malih sesalcev je objavljena (Gregori & Petrov 1976). Živali je determiniral pokojni Boris Petrov, ki se je naslanjal na taksonomijo, kot sta jo objavila Ellerman & Morrison-Scott (1951). Takso -nomija žvižgačev dejansko temelji na predhodni določitvi GRUBER-ja (1969): "Naši primerki so bili določeni kot O. r. roylei, kot je to storil Gruber (1969) pri svojem materialu" (Gregori & Petrov 1976:8). Daniel & Hanzäk (1985) sta material iz doline reke Barun (kjer je Gregori zbral primerke za Prirodoslovni muzej) prav tako določila kot O. r. roylei. Ker je taksonomija rodu Ochotona v zadnjih desetletjih doživela številne spremembe, sva preverila določitev, pri čemer sta nam bila najpomembnejša vira Mitchell (1978) in Smith & Xie (2008). Material iz PMS ustreza opisu za vrsti O. roylei in O. macrotis, kar je razvidno na osnovi (i) povezave med nebno špranjo in odprtino na nebnici in (ii) perforacijami v prednjem delu čelnice (sl. 53) (Günther, 1875). Mitchell (1978) navaja za vzhodni Nepal tudi O. angdawai Biswas & Khajuria, 1955, in O. mitchelli Agrawal & Chakraborty, 1971, ki pa danes veljata za sinonima nominotipske podvrste O. roylei (Hoffmann & Smith 2005). Muzejski material uvrščamo k O. roylei na osnovi sledečih značilnosti: (iii) zmerno dolgih uhljev (28-30 mm pri O. macrotis; Daniel & Hanzäk 1985), ki so na notranji površini redko odlakani (Smith & Xie 2008), in (iv) ozke med-očnične zožitve (medočnična širina pri O. macrotis znaša 5.2-6.0 mm; Mitchell 1978). Podvrsta v vzhodnem Nepalu je O. r. roylei (Mitchell 1978), kar je v skladu s prvotno ta-ksonomsko uvrstitvijo muzejskega materiala, 84 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJO KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I in Gregori & Petrov (1976). Frontal fenestrae are present in all three skulls and the voucher PMS 4538 displays an additional posterior pair of openings at the level of the zygomatic root of the temporal bone. Dorsal skull of PMS 4539 is figured in Gregori & Petrov (1976, Fig. 6 in p. 13). Photographs of pikas from the Ba-run-Makalu region are available in Gregori & Petrov (1976, Fig. 4 in p. 8) and Daniel & HanzAk (1985, Fig. XX); see also Fig. 52. Specimens that are now in PMS were collected in the Base Camp, above the Barun glacier (sensu Daniel & HanzAk 1985), at the north-western end of the Barun Valley. Details on the habitat are reported as follows: "All three specimens were collected in the surroundings of the base camp (4900 m), which was far above the timber line. The moraine slopes are stabilized, more or less overgrown with turf. The following plants are characteristic ...: Kobresia spec. div., Saxifraga aristulata, Saxifrages nutans, Gentiana ornate, Gentiana nepalensis, Artemisia cf. scoparia, Comasto-ma pedunculatum and Polygonum glaciale... Pikas are numerous ..." and were observed all the way from the Barun Valley, starting at 3700 m a.s.l. (Gregori & Petrov 1976); Daniel & HanzAk (1985) gave the altitudinal range in the Barun-Makalu region between 3450 and 5950 m a.s.l. kot sta jo objavila Gregori & Petrov (1976). Odprtine na čelnici so vidne pri vseh treh primerkih, primerek PMS 4538 pa ima v nivoju osnove ličnega loka (tvori ga senčnica) še po-steriorni par čelničnih perforacij. Fotografijo hrbtne strani primerka PMS 4539 sta objavila Gregori & Petrov (1976, sl. 6 na str. 13). Fotografije žvižgačev z območja Baruna in Makaluja so objavili Gregori & Petrov (1976, sl. 4 na str. 8) in Daniel & HanzAk (1985, Sl. XX); glej tudi sl. 52. Primerki, ki so v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja, so bili zbrani v baznem taboru nad ledenikom Baruna (sensu Daniel & HanzAk 1985) na severozahodnem koncu doline Barun. Podrobnosti o habitatu so sledeče: "Vsi trije primerki so bili zbrani v bližini baznega tabora (4900 m), ki je bilo visoko nad gozdno mejo. Morenska pobočja so stabilizirana in bolj ali manj porasla. Značilne so sledeče rastlinske vrste ...: Kobresia spec. div., Saxifraga aristulata, Saxifraga nutans, Gentiana ornate, Gentiana nepalensis, Artemisia cf. scoparia, Comastoma pedunculatum in Polygonum glaciale... Žvižgači so številčni.", opazovali pa so jih vse od doline Barun na višini 3700 m (Gregori & Petrov 1976); Daniel & HanzAk (1985) navajata višinski razpon nahajališč na območju Barun-Makalu od 3450 do 5950 m nad morjem. 85 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Figure 52.

The PMS voucher undoubtedly belongs to the roylei-macrotis group, but its further identification is puzzling. Roberts (1977) lists three species of pikas for Pakistan, which all display fused palatal and incisive foramina. The PMS specimen cannot be classified as O. rufescens because of its (i) fenestrated frontals and (ii) wide interorbital region (3-4.9 mm in rufescens; Sokolov et al. 2009). Following Roberts (1977), it belongs to O. roylei, but differs from the PMS material of this species from eastern Nepal (cf. above) in having wider interorbital region (Table 17), which is in the range of O. macrotis (Mitchell 1978); see the above account on O. roylei for comparison of the two pika species. The ears, however, which "are never less than 27 mm in length" in O. macrotis from Nepal (Mitchell 1978) are evidently shorter in the juvenile from Broad Peak. Also the inner surface of the ears is as sparsely haired as in the PMS material of O. roylei from Nepal. Short ears of the PMS specimen may be due to its juvenile age since long ears are visible on photographs of adults from the same site (Fig. 54). Srinivasulu et al. (2004) and the IUCN Red List data base refer to both, O. roylei (Smith & Boyer 2008c) and O. macrotis (Smith & Johnston 2008c), as occupying northern Pakistan. Roberts (1977) mapped O. roylei as more widespread of the two and in his subsequent edition of the "Mammals of Pakistan" and reported macrotis merely as a subspecies of O. roylei. In conclusion, the PMS voucher was classified as O. macrotis (and not roylei) since it differs from O. roylei from Nepal, most notably in its wide interorbital region. Photographs of adult pikas taken around a camp below Broad Peak display long ears and therefore match marotis better than roylei. Primerek v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja nedvomno pripada skupini roylei-macrotis, nadaljnja opredelitev pa je manj zanesljiva. Roberts (1977) navaja za Pakistan tri vrste žvižgačev, vsi pa imajo povezano nebno špranjo z odprtino na nebnici. Muzejski primerek ne ustreza opisu O. rufescens zaradi (i) perforirane čelnice in (ii) široke medočnične regije (3-4.9 mm pri rufescens-; Sokolov et al. 2009). Sodeč po podatkih, ki jih navaja Roberts (1977), bi muzejski primerek sodil k O. roylei, vendar se razlikuje od muzejskega materiala te vrste iz vzhodnega Nepala (glej zgoraj) po širši medočnični regiji (tabela 17), ki je v okviru variacijske širine pri O. macrotis (Mitchell 1978); za primerjavo med obema vrstama glej zgornje poglavje o O. roylei. Uhlji, ki pri O. macrotis iz Nepala niso "nikoli krajši od 27 mm" (Mitchell 1978), so pri primerku z Broad Peaka očitno krajši. Tudi notranja stran uhljev je enako redko odlakana, kot je pri muzejskem material O. roylei iz Nepala. Kratki uhlji muzejskega primerka so morda posledica juvenilne starosti; pri fotografijo odraslih živali z Broad Peaka so vidni dolgi uhlji (sl. 54). Srinivasulu et al. (2004) in podatkovna baza IUCN Rdečega seznama navajata za severni Pakistan tako O. roylei (Smith & Boyer 2008c) kot tudi O. macrotis (Smith & Johnston 2008c). Roberts (1977) je označil O. roylei za vrsto, ki ima večji areal od O. macrotis, v naslednji izdaji "Sesalcev Pakistana" (Roberts 1997) pa je obravnaval macrotis samo kot podvrsto O. roylei. Muzejski primerek žvižgača iz Pakistana smo torej uvrstili v O. macrotis (in ne v roylei) zato, ker se razlikuje od O. roylei iz Nepala, ta razlika pa je zlasti očitna v medočnični regiji. Na fotografijah odraslih žvi-žgačev, slikanih v baznem taboru pod Broad Peakom, so lepo vidni dolgi uhlji, ki se bolje ujemajo z macrotis kot pa z roylei. 88 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJO KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I The animal was collected in a rocky habitat near the glacier (Fig. 54). Pikas were sparse around the Base Camp (Mojmir Stangelj. verbal communication). Muzejski primerek je bil ujet v skalnatem habitatu v bližini ledenika (sl. 54). V okolici baznega tabora so bili žvižgači maloštevilni (Mojmir Štangelj, ustno obvestilo). Figure 54.

A disproportionate majority of vouchers (90.1%) are Erinaceus roumanicus. They originate from 14 countries in Europe and Asia (Table 19). The bulk of hedgehogs in the Collection are skulls (85.7%) and slightly less than a half of the vouchers (40.4%) are also skins. Taxidermies are reasonably well represented (9.0% of vouchers), but they are mainly old and as such frequently lack labels. Majority of taxidermic mounts are from before the WWII period.

Ježi so bili zbrani v 14 državah v Evropi in Aziji (tabela 19). Najštevilčnejša oblika preparata v Zbirki je lobanja (85.7 % vseh primerkov), nekoliko manjše pa je število kož (40,4 %). Dermoplastični preparati so razmeroma dobro zastopani (9,0 % vseh primerkov), vendar jih je večina iz stare zbirke, tako da so pogosto brez etikete s podatki.

The locality is evidently recorded erroneously in the Catalogue; there is no locality like Žirovski vrh in the province of Štajerska (Styria); besides, the Museum is in a possession of further mammals (including hedgehogs) from Žiri and Žirovski vrh near Žiri.

Among 24 hedgehogs from the collection of B. Petrov (PMS 8578-8601), 16 vouchers were collected between 1936 and 1948, i.e. before Petrov's departure to Bulgaria (and afterwards to Soviet Union) in 1950. The great majority of specimens in PMS, however, were obtained in the 1970s and afterwards; e.g. 36 hedgehogs from Slovenia are from the 1970s and 1980s. v Zbirki je sestavljeno okostje (PMS 19654) iz leta 1925; nahajališče ni znano.

Vouchers with numbers PMS 922 and lower were listed in a B.Sc. Thesis by Krystufek (1978) and pub -lished subsequently in Krystufek (1983). The entire collection was included in a comprehensive morphometric analysis with taxonomic implications (Krystufek 2002) and in an analysis of size response along the latitudinal gradient and under island conditions (Krystufek 2009). The vouchers PMS 170, 380, 624, and 920 were karyotyped (Krystufek 1978, 1983). The Museum vouchers, which are of particular historical or zoological interest, are discussed in further text. Muzejska zbirka ježev je v veliki meri obdelana in je bila objavljena. Primerki s številkami do PMS 922 so navedeni v diplomskem delu Kryštufka (Kryštufek 1978), kasneje pa so bili tudi objavljeni (Kryštufek 1983). Celoten material je bil vključen v obsežno mor-fometrično analizo s taksonomskimi implikacijami (Kryštufek 2002) in v analizi odziva telesne velikosti glede na zemljepisno širino ter na otoški učinek (Kryštufek 2009). Muzejski primerki PMS 170, 380, 624 in 920 so bili preiskani na kromosomski komplet (Kryštufek 1978, 1983). Primerke, ki so zanimivi z zgodovinskega ali zoološkega vidika, posebej komentirava v nadaljevanju besedila. Figure 60.

Foto: Boris Kryštufek 104 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJO KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I published by Petrov (1940; dimensions are on p. 62). These were the first hedgehogs collected in Macedonia after Martino described a new morph (Erinaceus roumanicus roumanicus drozdovskii Martino & Martino, 1933) from Kočani. Note that Petrov preferred to retain drozdovskii as a morph "Erinaceus roumanicus morpha drozdovskii Martino", rather than elevating it to a subspecies (treated as such by Bulic & Mirič 1967). Noteworthy, a hedgehog PMS 8596 from Petrov's collection bears the original specimen tag with Petrov's handwriting; drozdovskii is used as a subspecific name (Fig. 75). The Museum voucher #4992, which is topotypical to drozdovskii, is peculiar due to its dark colour (Fig. 76), which is not typical of the taxon. Given that this individual was obtained from the edge of extensive rice fields, it conforms to the prediction by Martino & Martino (1933:57) that coloration in hedgehogs depends on microclimatic conditions, specifically aridity. One of the palest hedgehogs in the Museum (PMS 618; Fig. 68) is from saline steppe in northern Serbia. Another topotype in the Museum is PMS 7536 from Cetinje, Montenegro (a topotype of Erinaceus roumanicus roumanicus morpha bolkayi Martino, 1930; Fig. 81). The Museum voucher PMS 10663 from Sakarya (Turkey) is to the best of our knowledge the only solid evidence on the presence of E. roumanicus in Anatolia. The species identity was assessed from two independent analyses, the electrophoretic (Filippucci & Simson 1996) and the craniometric (Kryštufek 2002). Photograph of this hedgehog is published (as E. concolor) in Krystufek & Vohralk (2001: Fig. 39 on p. 56). An unsexed hedgehog from Česta šuma (PMS 8589) was published in a review of the mammals occupying steppe habitats of Del-iblatska peščara, Serbia (Petrov 1949: 202203); a family group from Biogradsko jezero in Montenegro (PMS 377-380) was published in a faunal paper dealing with small mammals on Mt. Bjelasica (Krystufek 1979). je Petrov (1940; dimenzije navaja na str. 62). To je bil prvi material ježev, zbran v Makedoniji po tem, ko sta zakonca Martino opisala novo obliko (Erinaceus roumanicus roumanicus drozdovskii Martino & Martino, 1933) iz Kočanov. Petrov je obdržal drozdovskii kot obliko "Erinaceus roumanicus morpha droz-dovskii Martino", ki je ni dvignil na nivo podvrste (kot podvrsto jo kasneje obravnavata Bulic & Mirič 1967). To je zanimivo, kajti jež PMS 8596 (iz Petrovove zbirke) ima originalno etiketo, na kateri je Petrov uporabil drozdovskii kot podvrstno ime (sl. 75). Muzejski primerek #4992, ki je topotip drozdovskii, je zanimiv zaradi temne obarvanosti, ki ni značilna za ta takson (sl. 76). To, da je bila žival ujeta na robu razsežnih riževih polj, očitno potrjuje predvidevanje zakoncev Martino (Martino & Martino 1933:57), da je obarvanost ježev odvisna od mikroklimatskih razmer, predvsem od sušnosti. Eden najbolj svetlihježev v Muzeju (PMS 618; sl. 68) je iz slane stepe v Vojvodini. Nadaljnji topotipski primerek v Muzeju je PMS 7536 iz Cetinj, Črna gora (topotip Erinaceus roumanicus roumanicus morpha bolkayi Martino, 1930; sl. 81). Študijski preparat PMS 10663 iz Sakarye (Turčija) je, po našem poznavanju te vrste, edini dokazni primerek o pojavljanju vrste E. rou-manicus v Anatoliji. Vrstna določitev je utemeljena na dveh neodvisnih podatkovnih naborih: elektroforetski analizi encimov (Filippucci & Simson 1996) in analizi lobanje (Kryštufek 2002). Fotografijo tega ježa sta objavila (kot E. concolor) Kryštufek & Vohralk (2001: sl. 39 na str. 56). Primerek ježa iz Česte šume (PMS 8589) je objavil Petrov (1949: 202-203) v pregledu sesalcev Deliblatske peščare (Srbija), družinsko skupino z Biogradskega jezera v Črni Gori (PMS 377-380) pa je objavil (Kryštufek 1979) v favnističnem pregledu malih sesalcev planine Bjelasice. 105 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Taxonomy and nomenclature All Northern White-breasted Hedgehogs acquired by the Museum before 1946 were identified as E. europaeus. There was a long-lasting dispute in European mammalogy whether E. romanicus merits a specific recognition. Influential in this respect was the taxonomic revision by wettstein (1942) who recognized a single polytypic species (E. europaeus). Contrary to this, Miller (1912) for Europe and V. Martino for the former Yugoslavia (Martino 1930) strictly separated roumanicus from the scope of europaeus. As was already concluded for the nomenclature of hares (Lepus), the Museum was ignorant of Miller's (1912) standard monograph also for hedgehogs. More puzzling perhaps is that the Museum ignored Martino, who was undoubtedly the most authoritative student of mammal fauna in Yugoslavia in the interwar period. Although the extent of possible contacts between the Museum and V. Martino is not known, the Museum was aware of Martino's mammalogical activities and purchased from him several museum specimens of small mammals in 1931. Besides, Vladimir and Evgenija Martino published a description of a new hedgehog from Macedonia (Erinaceus roumanicus roumanicus drozdovskii) in a Slovenian periodical (Martino & Martino 1933), which could not be overlooked in the Museum. Bevk (1957:244) was perhaps the first authority who stated E. roumanicus to occur in the "eastern regions" of Slovenia and who based his conclusion on examination of specimens. Bevk in 1946 donated to the Museum two hedgehog skulls from Slovenia, catalogued as E. europaeus; the PMS 20190 skull bears and additional label with a subspecific name roumanicus (Fig. 61). As far as nomenclature is concerned, it is worth mentioning the vernacular names listed in Freyer (1842): the "gemeiner Igel" in German and "navadni jésh" in Slovene ("kr." = krainifch). On the same page, Freyer quotes two more Slovene vernaculars with no German synonyms and without further comments: "fvinfki in [and] pafji jésh". Namely, according Taksonomija in nomenklatura Vsi severni beloprsi ježi, ki jih je Muzej pridobil pred letom 1946, so določeni kot E. europaeus. V evropski mamologiji je dolgo časa obstajalo nesoglasje glede tega, ali je E. romanicus samostojna vrsta ali ne. V tem pogledu je imela velik vpliv taksonomska revizija Wettsteina (wettstein 1942), ki je prepoznal eno samo politipsko vrsto (E. europaeus). Po drugi strani sta Miller (1912) za Evropo in V. Martino za nekdanjo Jugoslavijo (Martino 1930) dosledno ločevala med roumanicus in europaeus kot dvema različnima vrstama. Kot sva že poudarila pri nomenklaturnih vprašajih okrog rodu Lepus, Muzej ni upošteval Mil-LER-jeve (1912) standardne monografije niti pri ježih. Teže razumljivo je ignoriranje Marti-noja, ki je bil med obema vojnama nedvomno najbolj vplivna avtoriteta za sesalce Jugoslavije. Morebitnih stikov med Muzejem in V. Mar-tinojem sicer ne poznamo, nobenega dvoma pa ni, da je Muzej poznal Martinojevo mamolo-ško dejavnost, saj je leta 1931 od njega kupil nekaj muzejskih primerkov malih sesalcev. Poleg tega sta Vladimir in Evgenija Martino objavila opis novega ježe iz Makedonije (Eri-naceus roumanicus roumanicus drozdovskii) v slovenski periodiki (Martino & Martino 1933), česar Muzej ni mogel spregledati. Tako je bil Bevk (1957:244) verjetno prvi avtor, ki je navedel, da E. roumanicus živi "v vzhodnih pokrajinah" Slovenije, svoj zaključek pa je utemeljil na preučevanju primerka. Bevk je leta 1946 Muzeju poklonil dve lobanji ježev iz Slovenije, ki sta bili vpisani v Katalog kot E. europaeus; lobanja PMS 20190 ima etiketo, na kateri je pripisano podvrstno ime roumanicus (sl. 61). Pri obravnavanju nomenklature velja omeniti domača imena, ki jih je zapisal Freyer (1842): "gemeiner Igel" v nemščini in "navadni jesh" v slovenščini ("kr." = krainifch). Na isti strani Freyer navaja brez komentarjev še dve slovenski imeni brez sopomenk v nemščini, in sicer "fvinfki in pafji jesh". Po splošnem prepričanju naj bi ježi v Sloveniji pripadali dvema 106 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJO KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I to the belief, which is widespread in Slovenia, there are two kinds of hedgehogs, a "swine" hedgehog and a "dog" hedgehog, which differ in the shape of snout. Of the two, only the "swine" hedgehog is edible. This popular belief was deeply rooted still in the 1970s and 1980s, although one of us (B.K.) never met a person who would be able to tell the actual difference between the two "species". vrstama, "svinjskemu" in "pasjemu" ježu, ki se razlikujeta po obliki gobčka. Užitna je samo "svinjska" vrsta. To mnenje je bilo široko razširjeno še v 70-ih in 80-ih letih preteklega stoletja, vendar eden od avtorjev (B.K.) ni nikjer naletel na osebo, ki bi mu pojasnila, v čem so dejanske razlike med "vrstama".

This is the only Palaearctic elephant-shrew and is very distinct from the other Elephantulus species from the Ethiopian region (Corbet 1978). The PMS specimen was snap-trapped in a dry, barren rocky hill. No other small mammals occupy the same habitat, but Gerbils (Gerbillus sp.) and Jirds (Meriones sp.) frequented the vicinity. To je edini palearktični predstavnik rilčastih skakačev in se jasno razlikuje od drugih vrst rodu Elephantulus iz etiopske regije (Corbet 1978). Primerek v PMS je bil ujet v past na sušnem in golem skalnatem hribu (sl. 99). V istem habitatu ni bilo drugih malih sesalcev, v bližnji okolici pa so živele male tekačice (Gerbillus sp.) in puščavske podgane (Meriones sp.). Figure 99.

Macroscelides proboscoideus is readily recognizable among the South African elephant-shrews by its enormously inflated bullae, which expand beyond the level of condyles (Rathbun 2005). The PMS specimen was pregnant with two embryos, and was snap-trapped in a typical Karoo landscape, i.e. in an arid plain sparsely overgrown with low bushes. Med južnoafriškimi rilčastimi skakači je Macroscelides proboscoideus lahko prepoznaven po izjemno povečanih bobničnih mehurjih, ki segajo daleč nazaj za zatilnični čvrš (Rathbun 2005). Samica v zbirki PMS je bila breja z dvema zarodkoma. Ujeta je bila v krajini, značilni za Karoo, t.j. na sušni ravnici, ki je bila porasla z redkimi, nizkimi grmički. Table 27.

Obtained as alcoholic specimen in 1988 from Shimon Shimson (than at the University in Haifa, Israel); skinned subsequently in PMS; original label is of the University of Natal. Roundhill Oribi Nature Reserve, near Grahamstown, Eastern Cape Province (330 m a.s.l.): 1 skin and skull (PMS 20186), a female, collected on 19 April 2000 by Boris Krystufek. Umdoni Park (= Umdoni Park Golf Course, near Pennington), Natal (= KwaZulu-Natal): 1 alcoholic specimen with extracted skull (PMS 20185), sex not recorded, collected on 27 September 1988. Obtained in 1988 from Shimon Shimson (than at the University in Haifa, Israel); original label is of the University of Natal. Determination of a species using morphological characteristics is a demanding task in golden moles. The majority of species, however, are extremely rare and localized in distribution. Hottentot Golden Mole is among the very few species, which are common. Two of the PMS vouchers had already been identified before reaching the Museum and therefore served as reference specimens to facilitate species identification of the remaining material. Identification was based primarily on (i) colouration (dark reddish-brown dorsally, lighter on flanks, belly orange; Figs. 105, 106), (ii) relatively wide skull (quotient of ZgB with CbL = 0.64-0.68; Fig. 107), and (iii) geographic overlap of collecting sites with the range of A. hottentotus (Bronner & Bennett 2005). Despite the small collection, sampling covers well the range of the species (Fig. 104). Specimens were captured at a golf course (PMS 20185), in pristine grassland (PMS 20186) and in a town meadow (PMS 20187). Določevanje vrst zlatih krtov na osnovi morfoloških značilnosti je zelo zahtevno. Večina vrst je izjemno redka z ozko razširjenostjo, hotentotski zlati krt pa je ena izmed maloštevilnih vrst, ki so pogoste. Dva izmed muzejskih primerkov sta bila določena že pred sprejemom v zbirko, tako da sta rabila kot referenčni material pri determinaciji preostalih primerkov. Determinacija je utemeljena predvsem na (i) barvi (zgoraj temno rdeče-rjava, svetlejša na bokih, trebuh oranžen; sl. 105, 106), (ii) relativno široki lobanji (količnik ZgB s CbL = 0.640.68; Sl. 107) in (iii) geografskemu prekrivanju nahajališč z območjem razširjenosti hottentotus (Bronner & Bennett 2005). Čeprav je zbirka majhna, pa nahajališča dobro pokrivajo celotno območje razširjenosti vrste (sl. 104). Primerki so bili ujeti na golfišču (PMS 20185), na naravnem travniku (PMS 20186) in v parku v mestu (PMS 20187). 155 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Table 28.

The identification was based on a set of characteristics provided in Lord Medway (1983) and Corbet & Hill (1992): (i) the tail is bushy and distichous (Fig. 109), (ii) incisive foramina are large, (iii) the rostrum is rather long (Fig. 110), (iv) the overall size is large and the hind foot is long (Table 29), (v) the tail is shorter than head and body, and (vi) the dorsal pelage is reddish-grizzled brown (Fig. 109). Tupaia glis is easily recognizable among the treeshrews of the peninsular Malaysia (Lord Medway 1983) and is the only tree shrew present on the Island of Tioman (Lord Medway 1966). Many races of T. glis have been described from the mainland of Malaysia and its islands (Corbet & Hill 1992). The Island of Tioman is reportedly the homeland of the endemic T. g. sordida Miller, 1900, which is very similar to the mainland T. g. ferruginea Raffles, 1821 (Hill 1960). The common treeshrew was abundant on the island at the time when the collection was done, and is reported as such for the Tioman (Lord Medway 1966) and Malayan lowland forests in general (Harrison 1969). Determinacija muzejskega materiala je temeljila na nizu značilnosti, ki jih navajajo Lord Medway (1983) in Corbet & Hill (1992): (i) košat rep ima dlake usmerjene vstran (sl. 109, (ii) odprtina na predčeljustnici je velika, (iii) rostrum je razmeroma dolg (sl. 110), (iv) žival je razmeroma velika, zadnje stopalo pa dolgo (tabela 29), (v) rep je krajši od trupa z glavo in (vi) hrbet je rižast in rdečkasto-rjav (sl. 109). Poleg tega, da je Tupaia glis lahko razlikovati od preostalih tupaj Malajskega polotoka, je tudi edini predstavnik skupine na otoku Tioman (Lord Medway 1966). Z Malajskega polotoka in otokov je bilo poimenovano veliko število podvrst T. glis (Corbet & Hill 1992). Na Tiomanu živi podvrsta T. g. sordida Miller, 1900, ki je endemična za otok, je pa zelo podobna celinski podvrsti T. g. ferruginea Raffles, 1821 (Hill 1960). V času, ko sta bila zbrana muzejska primerka, je bila navadna tupaja na otoku številčna. Kot takšno jo za Tioman navaja Lord Medway (1966), za malajske nižinske gozdove pa Harrison (1969). 160 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJC KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I Table 29.

This mount holds two numbers (206/09, Nr. A863.BI2-69), but is not catalogued in the Museum neither in the catalogue nor in the Files. Most probably, the mount was obtained from a natural history collection of some secondary school in Slovenia, but the acquisition remained unrecorded. The original identification was Didelphis sp. While juveniles are too small (length of about 60 mm) for positive identification, the fur of the adult animal is faded and the ears are damaged (Fig. 118). The female shows three abdominal nipples on the right side and one nipple on the left side. We determined this mount as a Mouse Opossum Marmosa on the basis of the following characteristics: (i) short and fine fur, which is not velvety, (ii) lack of pouch, (iii) absence of pectoral nipples, (iv) dark facial markings around the eyes, (v) coexistence of annular and spiral arrangement of caudal scales. The specimen resembles the Robinson's Mouse Opossum Marmosa robinsoni Bangs, 1898 in the following external character states: (vi) large and prominent black eye ring (in PMS 20173 obvious on the right side that is less faded than the left side), which does not contact the base of the ear, (vii) pale cheeks to behind ears, (viii) contrasting midrostral and crown fur, (ix) absent dark medial rostral stripe, (x) relatively large dimensions, (xi) thick and relatively short tail, which is of uniform (all-dark) colour, and (xii) proportionally short and broad hind-foot (Emmons & Feer 1990, O'connell 1983, Rossi et al. 2010). On the other hand, Marmosa robin-soni typically has pilose tail which, however, is nude in the Museum specimen. We quote the comment by Dr. Rainer Hutterer from September 2013 on this taxidermy: "The posture in which the mount was Dermoplastika ima dve številki (206/09, Nr. A863.BI2-69), vendar ni zapisana niti v Katalogu niti v Kartoteki. Najverjetneje je bila dobljena iz naravoslovne zbirke v kateri od srednjih šol v Sloveniji, pridobitev pa ni bila dokumentirana. Prvotno je bil primerek določen kot Didelphis sp. Mladiča sta premajhna (dolžina približno 60 mm) za pozitivno determinacijo, kožuh odrasle živali pa je obledel in uhlja odlomlje-na (sl. 118). Samica ima tri abdominalne seske na desni strani in enega na levi. Primerek smo uvrstili v rod malih oposumov Marmosa na osnovi sledečih značilnosti: (i) kratke in fine dlake, ki pa ni žametna, (ii) nima vreče, (iii) je brez pektoralnih seskov, (iv) okrog oči je temna obrazna maska, (v) repne luske so urejene v kombinacije anularnega in spiralnega vzorca. Primerek je najbližji Robinsonovemu malemu oposumu Marmosa robinsoni Bangs, 1898, kar je razvidno iz sledečih značilnosti: (vi) velik in prominenten črn obroč okrog oči (pri PMS 20173 je očiten na desni strani, ki je manj obledela od leve strani), ki ne seže do osnove uhlja, (vii) svetla lica segajo do uhlja in naprej, (viii) kontrast med dlako na sredini rostruma in na vrhu glave, (ix) izostanek temne mediane črte na rostrumu, (x) relativno velike dimenzije (tabela 32), (xi) krepak in relativno kratek rep, ki je enotno (temno) obarvan, (xii) proporcionalno kratko in široko stopalo (Emmons & Feer 1990, o'connell 1983, Rossi et al. 2010). Po drugi strani ima Marmosa robinsoni navadno odlakan rep, ki je pri PMS primerku gol. Dr. Rainer Hutterer je septembra 2013 komentiral dermoplastiko: "Položaj dermopla-stičnega preparata spominja na risbe rodov 171 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Table 32.

For this alone the old mount is an interesting piece of history of art and taxidermy." Evidently, opossums were mounted in such posture in larger numbers. The National Museum in Prague holds a mount of an unidentified opossum (P6j-101/90), which is of the same size as the PMS animal and stuffed in exactly the same posture (Fig. 117). The Prague mount is from a natural history business of Vaclav Didelphis ali Marmosa iz 19. stoletja; mladi na hrbtu, oviti okrog repa odrasle živali... Že samo po tem je preparat zanimiv dokument zgodovine umetnosti in taksidermije." Očitno so izdelovali preparate oposumov v tem položaju v večjem številu. Narodni muzej v Pragi hrani preparat nedoločenega oposuma (P6j-101/90), ki je enake velikosti kot primerek v PMS in prepariran v natanko enakem položaju (sl. 117). Praški preparat je iz trgovine Vaclava Friča, ki je bil ves čas v stiku z Narodnim muzejem v Pragi (Reiling & SpunarovA 2005). Figure 117.

Foto: Boris Kryštufek 172 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJC KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I Fric, who maintained a steady relationship with the National Museum in Prague (Reiling & SpunarovA 2005). Because Fric merchan-tized worldwide, it is plausible to presume that the PMS mount is from same taxidermic workshop as the one in Prague. Thanks to the courtesy of Professor Bojan Zorko (Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University in Ljubljana), the mount was X-rayed in September 2013 (Fig. 118). The original aim was to gain information on cranial peculiarities, which would facilitate the taxonomic identification. Only the rostrum and the mandibular corpus are preserved, evidently owing to the teeth, which are exposed in the mount. Of the remaining bones, meso- and metapodium are preserved in limbs. There is no central wire from head to tail and the entire mount is supported by a fairly complex system of wires. The supporting leg wires are thrust into the replacement body and anchored to a branch (Fig 118). In cubs, the main support is provided by a central wire from head to tip of the tail. This is a clear example of taxidermy done by a bind-up method, which "was a common technique employed by many 19th century taxidermists and is still widely used today" (Morris 2010:47). In the opinion of taxidermist Alojz Smuc, a primitive version of bind-up method was adopted, which is evident from the way the wire network was constructed. Glass eyes are inappropriate for any opossum. It was common practice for taxidermists to "use whatever cheap eyes ..., so long as they were about the right size" and "overlooking details of what the animal actually looked like in life" (Morris 2010: 84-5). Ker je Frič trgoval po celem svetu, je seveda povsem mogoče, da je tudi primerek PMS nastal v isti preparatorski delavnici kot praška dermoplastika. Po zaslugi prijaznosti prof. dr. Bojana Zorka (Veterinarska fakulteta Univerze v Ljubljani) smo septembra 2013 preparat rentgensko slikali (sl. 118). Prvotni namen je bil pridobiti informacijo o lobanji, ki bi omogočila zanesljivejšo taksonomsko determinacijo. Od lobanje sta ohranjena samo rostrum in spo-dnječeljustnično telo, očitno zaradi zobovja, ki je v dermoplastiki opazno. Od drugih kosti so v okončinah ohranjeni elementi mezo- in metapodija. Preparat nima osrednje žice, ki bi segala od glave do repa, ampak je podprt z dokaj kompleksnim sistemom žic. Žice, ki podpirajo okončine, so zasajene v umetno telo, na drugem koncu pa zasidrane v nosilno vejo (sl. 118). Pri mladičih pa je glavna opora osrednja žica, ki poteka skozi celotno telo in rep. Preparat je jasen primer dermoplastike, izdelane po metodi "oblikovanja modela s povezovanjem". To "je bila v 19. stoletju metoda, h kateri so se zatekali številni preparatorji, uporablja pa se tudi danes" (Morris 2010:47). Po mnenju preparatorja Alojza Šmuca gre za dokaj prvinsko izpeljavo metode, na kar kaže konstrukcija žic. Steklene oči niso ustrezne ne glede na vrsto oposuma. V preteklosti se je pogosto dogajalo, da so preparatorji "uporabili katerekoli poceni oči ... da so le bile vsaj približno ustrezne velikosti", ob tem pa so "spregledali podrobnosti o dejanskem videzu žive živali" (Morris 2010: 84-5). 173 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Figure 118.

Labelled as Macropus giganteus. The Museum is in possession of two mounts of kangaroos, which are both old and in poor condition. The original colour faded in both animals under long-lasting exposure to light and dust. Of the two specimens, the PMS 20147 is in worse condition; besides, its glass eyes were removed. The original identification is Macropus giganteus but this is evidently wrong because giganteus (i) has hairy muzzle (naked in the PMS specimen; Fig. 119), (ii) tail has black distal portion (tail has merely a short black crest on its tip in the PMS animal; Fig. 120), and (iii) tail is much shorter than head and body (Frith & Calaby 1969, Strahan 1995). Claws of the outer and the inner toes are at approximately same level in giganteus; in the PMS specimen, the inner toe is shifted backwards, just as in vouchers of M. rufogriseus in the collection of the National Museum in Prague. We identified the PMS animal as rufogriseus also for the following character states: (iv) matches in size and relative tail length (tail slightly shorter than head and body), (v) rusty neck, (vi) white stripe on upper lip, (vii) lack of stripe on thigh, and (viii) small 3rd upper incisor (Frith & Calaby 1969, Strahan 1995). Red-necked Wallaby is "common to abundant in most parts of its range" (Calaby 1995: 351) which covers eastern Australia and Tasmania; it was also introduced to England (Mitchell-Jones et al. 1999). Muzej ima dva stara dermoplastična preparata kengurujev, ki pa sta v slabem stanju. Prvotna obarvanost je v veliki meri izginila zaradi dolgotrajne izpostavljenosti svetlobi in prahu. Od dveh preparatov je primerek PMS 20147 še v posebej slabem stanju; odstranjeni sta mu bili tudi obe stekleni očesi. Prvotna determinacija Macropus giganteus je očitno napačna, kajti za giganteus so značilni (i) odlakan gobec (gol pri primerku v PMS; sl. 119), (ii) črno obarvan končni del repa (primerek v PMS ima na samem vrhu kratek črn greben; sl. 120) in (iii) rep, ki je veliko krajši od trupa z glavo (Frith & Calaby 1969, Strahan 1995). Kremplja na zunanjem in notranjem prstu sta pri giganteus v približno isti ravnini, pri primerku iz PMS pa je notranji prst potisnjen nazaj, enako kot pri preparatih M. rufogriseus iz zbirke Narodnega muzeja v Pragi. Primerek iz PMS sva določila kot rufogriseus tudi na osnovi (iv) skladja v velikosti in relativni dolžini repa (rep je le nekoliko krajši od trupa z glavo), (v) rdečkastega vratu, (vi) bele proge na zgornji ustnici, (vii) izostanka proge na stegnu in (viii) majhnega tretjega zgornjega sekalca (Frith & Calaby 1969, Strahan 1995). Rdečevrati kenguru je "pogost in številčen v večini območij njegove razširjenosti" (Calaby 1995: 351), ki obsega vzhodno Avstralijo in Tasmanijo; naselili so ga tudi v Anglijo (Mitchell-Jones et al. 1999). 175 SCOPOLIA No 79 - 2013 Table 33.

This mount bears number 206.19, which is not inscribed neither in the Catalogue nor in the Files. Most probably, the mount was obtained from a natural history collection of some secondary school in Slovenia, but the acquisition remained unrecorded in the Museum. The determination as Wallabia (spelled incorrectly as Wellebia) elegans is erroneous. The name elegans G. Cuvier, 1816 is a synonym of a Banded Hare Wallaby Lagostrophus fascia-tus (Peron et Lesueur, 1807), which formerly occupied extreme south-western Australia, but survived only on Bernier and Dorre islands offshore the Western Australian coast. Banded Hare Wallaby is a small animal (H&B 400-460 mm, TL 320-400 mm) and, as suggested by its common name, readily distinguished by its banded colour pattern (Grooves 2005, Nowak 1999). Because the PMS voucher is of large size (Table 33) and lacks banded pattern, it does not match the Banded Hare Wallaby. We identified the PMS specimen as M. rufus on the basis of a subsequent combination of characteristics: (i) large size, (ii) tail is evidently shorter than head and body (Table 33), (iii) fairly small rhinarium and moderately hairy nose (Fig. 119), (iv) small 3rd upper incisor, (v) muzzle with dark and white patch, and (vi) broad pale stripe from mouth to ear (Frith & Calaby 1969, Strahan 1995). This species is widespread in Australia and is the only kangaroo "truly characteristic of the arid zone" (Newsome 1995: 353). Ta preparat ima številko 206.19, ki pa ni vpisana niti v Katalogu niti v Kartoteki. Najverjetneje je bil primerek pridobljen iz naravoslovne zbirke katere od srednjih šol v Sloveniji, pridobitev pa v Muzeju ni bila dokumentirana. Določitev kot Wallabia (napačno črkovano Wellebia) elegans ni pravilna. Ime elegans G. Cuvier, 1816 je sopomenka za progastega zajčjega valabija Lagostrophus fasciatus (Peron et Lesueur, 1807), ki je v preteklosti naseljeval skrajni jugozahodni del Avstralije, preživel pa je samo na otokih Bernier in Dorre ob zahodni avstralski obali. Progasti zajčji valabi je majhen kenguru (H&B 400-460 mm, TL 320-400 mm), a kot kaže že njegovo ime, je lahko prepoznaven po progastem vzorcu kožuha (Grooves 2005, Nowak 1999). Ker je primerek v PMS velikih dimenzij (tabela 33) in nima progastega vzorca, ga ni mogoče determinirati kot progastega zajčjega valabija. Preparat iz PMS smo opredelili kot M. rufus, in sicer na osnovi sledečih značilnosti: (i) velikih dimenzij, (ii) repa, ki je občutno krajši od trupa z glavo (tabela 33), (iii) razmeroma majhnega smrčka in zmerno odlakanega gobca (sl. 119), (iv) majhnega tretjega zgornjega sekalca, (v) gobca s temno in svetlo liso in (vi) široke svetle proge od ust do uhljev (Frith & Calaby 1969, Strahan 1995). Ta vrsta ima v Avstraliji obsežen areal razširjenosti in je edini kenguru, ki je "resnično značilen za sušno območje" (Newsome 1995: 353). 178 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJC KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I Figure 121.

PichlersWitwe & Sohn in Wien, Buchhandlung und Lehrmittelanstalt, V. Margarclenplatz 2". Most probably mounted (or merchandized) in August 1898 (see date on left bottom of the label; Fig. 122). This taxidermic mount holds two labels with numbers 206/4 and ZI/20, respectively, but was not recorded in the Museum neither in the catalogue nor in the Files. Similarly as suggested above for the origin of marsupials, the mount of platypus was perhaps obtained from a natural history collection in some secondary school in Slovenia. Many such collections were dismissed in the 1990s. When vouchers were deposited in the Museum, no attention was paid even to document the acquisition. Total length of the animal is 530 mm and length of tail is 165 mm; the bill is 69 mm long and 49 mm wide (Fig. 122). Dermoplastičen preparat ima dve številki (206/4 in ZI/20), vendar nobena od njiju ni zabeležena ne v Katalogu ne v Kartoteki. Podobno, kot sva zaključila že glede izvora preparatov vrečarjev, tudi kljunaš po vsej verjetnosti izvira iz naravoslovnega kabineta katere od srednjih šol. Številne zbirke na šolah so bile odstranjene v 90-ih letih prejšnjega stoletja. Ko je Prirodoslovni muzej prevzel ta material, ni nihče poskrbel, da bi se pridobitve dokumentirale. Celotna dolžina živali znaša 530 mm, dolžina repa pa 165 mm; kljun je 69 mm dolg in 49 mm širok (sl. 122). 180 Boris KRYŠTUFEK , Mojca JERNEJC KODRIČ: Catalogue of the mammals in the collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History I Katalog sesalcev v zbirki Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije I Figure 122.
