Abstract

An earlier paper (Rautenbach 1971) summarized documented distributional data on the smaller mammals in the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park, Republic of South Africa. Since then continued field-

work in this Park (e.g. Nel and Rautenbach in press) has yielded more information on the distribution of some previously recorded species,whilst other species have been recorded for the first time. Collecting hasbeen concentrated on two localities in the vicinity of Twee Rivieren, two near Nossob Camp, as well as at Dankbaar in the north-central portion of the Park.
