Systematics and nomenclature follow Corbet and Hill (1992) unless otherwise indicated. Distribution data is based on Corbet and Hill (1992) and Lekagul and McNeely (1988) unless stated otherwise. In such cases recent scientific papers are quoted where appropriate. Red Data Book Status follows the Red Data Book of Vietnam (1992) and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals (1996).

^{1 Two
groups have been released into PMNR by the reserve authorities, resulting in a
management problem which needs to be addressed in the near future.
^{2 Distribution data taken
from Ruggeri & Timmins (1995-1996).
^{3 Distribution data taken
from Lippold (1998).
^{4 This species was
recently described in Russian with no English name given (see Sokolov et al.
1997).}}}5 These newly discovered
species are not included in either the Red Data Book of Vietnam or The 1996 IUCN
Red List of Threatened Animals. Using the same
logic as Timmins et al. (1998) they probably should be classified as
vulnerable.

^{6 Chrotogale is
used instead of Hemigalus as named in Corbet & Hill (1992). Here the
nomenclature follows that of Nowak (1999).}7 Hunters are known to
classify Rhinoceros sondaicus as present within the reserve. No-one has
reported seeing this species in the last five to
ten years however, so the likelihood of it surviving in the reserve is small.

8 This species was thought
to be extinct until its re-discovery in 1996 (see Groves et al. 1997) and
as such it's status has not yet been corrected. Using the same
logic as Timmins et al. (1998) it probably should be classified as
vulnerable.

9 These newly discovered
species are not included in either the Red Data Book of Vietnam or the 1996 IUCN
Red List of Threatened Animals. However, they
are in Wemmer et al. (1998). Timmins et al. (1998) suggested they
should be classified as vulnerable.

^{10 Distribution data taken
from Dung et al. (1993).
^{11 Local hunters only say
there is one species of striped squirrel due to the difficulty of separating
these species from characteristics observable in the field.
^{12 The presence of a
striped rabbit species in Indochina was recently discussed by Surridge et al.
(1999), but the species is not yet described.}}}}
