我国三种珍稀动物西流考

THE FLOW OF SOME RARE ANIMALS FROM CHINA TO THE WEST

麋鹿、大熊猫、扬子鳄都是特产于我国的珍稀动物。从十九世纪下半叶，它们为来华的西方生物收集者所发现，并谋取标本和活体送回欧美。这些动物以其特有的科学和美学价值迅速引起西方学术界的注意。该文对西方人近代在华搜猎这些动物的情形及有关的早期研究作了初步的探讨。

Milu (i. e. David's deer), giant panda and Chinese alligator, which are some of the rarest animals in the world, all originated in China. From the second half of the 19th century, they were discovered and hunted by Western collectors of biology coming to China, who then secured and transported these animals from China to Europe and America, arousing great interest in the weet because of their special value in science and aesthetics. This paper deals with the collection and primitive research on the animals carried out by the Westerners.
