Pimping the Rhinogradentia

Rhinogradentians (or "snouters" to give them their common name) were a diverse and fascinating clade of mammals, exclusive to a small archipelago in South-East Asia which sank into the sea in the late 1940s as a result of nearby atomic weapons testing. This catastrophe also killed the specialists working on them, who were attending a conference at the time. There are thus few published references, Stumpke's 1957 title (published in english in 1967 as "The Snouters, form and life of the Rhinogrades").

Anyway Darren Naish has a couple of long promised blog posts up, here and here. And I can't recommend them highly enough.
