During the process of preparing a manuscript on the mammals of Tunisia, the need developed, repetitively, for information concerning the types and type localities of various rodent taxa named from Tunisia and adjacent countries. Three standard references are available to anyone interested in these mammals : (1) G.M. Allen's "A checklist of African Mammals" published in 1939 ; (2) J. R. Ellerman's two volumes, "The Families and Genera of living Rodents", published in 1940 (volume 1) and 1941 (volume 2); and (3) Ellerman and Morrison-Scott's "Checklist of Palaearctic and Indian Mammals, 1758 to 1946", published in 1951. While these are invaluable, and served as the foundation for the present paper, they did not neet all of our needs for two reasons. First, several taxa have been named and described from the region since the latest of these was published. Second, none was designed to give either information concerning the type specimen and its present location nor a map showing the location of the type localities. In the preparation of the following material, every original description was personally examined. The bibliographic citations were checked against those listed in the standard references. In a very few cases, the "standard references" were found to be in error in some minor way. Any additional information concerning type localities and type specimens has been recorded. In a few cases, especially crucial statements concerning type specimens or type localities made by some subsequent author were found and are indicated in the comments section. For each of the entries, the following represents an idealized complete entry. Any portion missing from the actual entries indicates that the information was neither in the original description nor found through some other [indicated source]. A. Scientific name, author, publication, date of publication, type locality, type specimen : sex, age, nature of
