Pakenham’s unpublished work on Zanzibar’s mammals deserves to be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.
