Abstract
Complete faunal lists are vital for understanding the natural history of countries and unique habitats within them, as well as the design of effective conservation strategies. Although many mammal species of Tanzania are familiar, the fauna of some areas of the country has not been properly documented. We surveyed the small mammals (shrews, bats and rodents) of Minziro Forest in northwestern Tanzania. Six species are documented here for the first time for Tanzania. Other records include Tanzanian species poorly represented as vouchers in collections. Minziro is a unique forest worthy of conservation priority and further study.
