3.0 out of 5 stars Fine taxonomy key down to GENERA, only, of N.A. mammals., January 11, 1999
By A Customer
This work can be utilized by experienced field personnel. Lacks definitions of many terms and techniques for identifications, referred to in the dichotomous key. Common names for the family and genus are rarely used. However, the photos and illustrations provided are of very good quality. The guide provides the necessary detail required for general field use of mammal skulls.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not that useful, November 13, 2003
By A Customer
Very general, very technical, poor photographs in many cases, this book appears to have been written for a specific class at the univeristy where the authors teach. It is hard to identify many specific skulls with this - unless you are a wildlife biology person it won't be helpful to the average curious naturalist.
