From the preface: A checklist of species is an invaluable tool for both researchers and the interested public (Cited from Wilson and Reeder, 2005). Checklist of Palaearctic and Indian Mammals published by Ellerman and Morrson-Scott 1951 is one of the most important reference work even today for the mammalogists. Latest revised voluminous edition of Mammal species of the World by Wilson and Reeder (2005) has became the current standard for mammalian taxonomy providing an authoritative reference for non-specialists and establishing an overall taxonomic hypothesis for testing by systematic mammalogists. The objective of the current work is to compile the account of Indian Mammalian species reported by Corbet and Hill 1992, Alfred et al. 2002, Wilson and Reeder 2005 and Nameer 2008 and present the updated checklist in light of the recent revisionary studies reported by number of workers at different times. The present work reports 420 species under 191 genera of 48 families in 14 mammalian orders within Indian territory. Attempts have also been made to provide photos image to give idea about the species appearance.
