چکیده
The terrestrial mammalian fauna of the Philippines has traditionally been divided into four major provinces, based on richness, composition, and degree of endemism (Darlington, 1957; see also Alcala, 1976). The first, the Palawan province (including Palawan, Balabac, Busuanga, Culion, and nearby small islands), is noteworthy for its rich fauna (relative to island size), including many groups (carnivores, pangolins, porcupines, and some insectivores) absent or poorly represented elsewhere in the Philippines. Although many of the species are endemic, nearly all genera are found in northern Borneo (Sanborn, 1952). The second, the Mindanao province (including Mindanao, Basilan, Bohol, Leyte, Samar, and many small islands), is also marked by a rich fauna; however, several generic endemics are present, and diversity at the familial level is much reduced relative to that of the Palawan province (Taylor, 1934). The third province, the Luzon province (including only Luzon and a few small islands), contains fewer families, but those present, especially the Muridae, have radiated into a wide variety of niches, and many endemic genera are present (Taylor, 1934). The fourth province, the Panay-Negros pro-
