THE MAMMALS OF ZANZIBAR AND PEMBA ISLANDSSuggested citation: Pakenham, R. H. W. 1984. The Mammals of Zanzibar and Pemba Islands. Harpenden: privately printed. Pakenham’s unpublished work on Zanzibar’s mammals deserves to be made more widely available than it has been. This electronic version has been scanned from a bound copy sent to me by Eileen Pakenham in May 1994 (see below). I trust that its dissemination in this form would also have met with her husband’s approval. And I hope that recipients will use it with the care and attention to detail that Pakenham devoted to his own research.
