Abstract

Based on the premises that an accurate determination and description of the mammals of Utah County is a prerequisite for subsequent research in ecology, geographic distribution and evolutionary taxonomy, this thesis is submitted. While it is essentially taxonomic, there are included related subjects to permit a more thorough interpretation of the subject as a whole.

Summarizing, the objectives are:

  • a. To list and key the known mammals of Utah County with descriptions and measurements.
  • b. To ascertain their geographic range within the county.
  • c. To present significant ecological and geological data for the proper appreciation of the problems of evolutionary taxonomy.
  • d. To reconstruct the original picture of the county before white man's appearance and influence.
  • e. To give an account of previous collecting and observation.
  • f. To bring together the literature dealing with the problem of Utah county mammalogy.
