An account of every species of native mammal known to have existed in Australia
Notes
"This book is a radical revision, with a new publisher, of The Australian Museum complete book of Australian mammals (1983). Its new title is a more succinct description of its contents and deliberately mimics John Gould's The mammals of Australia, published in the first half of the nineteenth century" -- Preface
"Second ed. published in 1995 by Reed Books. Reprinted in 1998, 2000 and 2002 by Reed New Holland" -- T.p. verso
