ABSTRACT
Manmals inported into the IMited States in 1972 are tabulated by species and country of origin. Total nunibers ijiqxjrted from 1968 through 1972 are given for higher taxa and for species most frequently imported. The numbers of mammals inqwrted in 1972 increased only very slightly from the number inqxarted in 1971 largely as a result of increased importation of laboratory animals (Muridae) frcmi Europe. Lists of rare and endangered species imported and of mammals whose inqwrtation is restricted are also given.

MAMMALS IMPORTED INTO THE UNITED STATES IN 1972
This report is the fifth in a series that lists the numbers and species of majimals inported into the United States each year. As in the earlier reports (Jones, 1970; Jones and Paradiso, 1972; Paradiso and Fisher, 1972; Clapp and Paradiso, 1973), it is based on an analysis of import declar- ation forms (U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife Form 3-177) that are filed at ports of entry where wildlife shipments are presented for customs clearance.
The purpose of this report is to list, by species and country of origin-^/, the number of mammals declared for importation into the United States"~in 1972. Scientists, wildlife managers, conservationists and others may be interested in this list for the following reasons: to indicate pressures exerted on certain populations of wild mammals and point out the need for their conservation; reveal species that could become pests if established in the wild; to help mammalogists to determine the source of exotic species found in the wild; to indicate taxa of mammals that must be identified at ports of entry to prevent inportation of prohibited mammals; to suggest improvements in procedures of recording declarations of imported wildlife; and to indicate the availability of species that are useful in research. Conparison of this list with previous ones may indicate trends or changes in importance of various species in research and in the pet trade.
PROCEDURES
Procedures were the same as stated in the preceding report (Clapp and Paradiso, 1973). A notebook was compiled from original and xerographic copies of declaration forms. Therein was listed totals by species name, country of origin, and number imported. A discussion of some of the difficulties encountered in interpreting the names listed on the declaration forms in 1971 (Clapp and Paradiso, op. cit.) is still pertinent to the present listing.
Nomenclature of mammals used in this report follows the sources listed in Paradiso and Fisher (1972) . Orders and families are arranged in phylo- genetic sequence according to Anderson and Jones (1967) ; names of genera are alphabetized within each family.
This report is not intended in any way as a systematic treatment. No scientific or common names or combinations of names used herein are proposed as new names .
NUMBERS OF MAMMALS IMPORTED, BY ORDER AND FAMILY
The following list of the nuiAer of imported mammals in the various orders and families will serve in part both as a Table of Contents and Summary of the Systematic List. Totals for 1968 through 1972 are included and should serve as a summary of the overall magnitude of mammal inportations during these 5 years. Tabulations of sources from
-■■"Country of origin" as here used is meant to indicate the country from v^^ich the animals were received. It does not necessarily indicate that the animals were native to the country from which received nor that they were bom there.
which mannnals were received, tabulations of more frequently imported taxa, lists of rare and endangered species inqwrted, and a list of prohibited mannvals imported are presented in a section following the systematic list.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Yearly Comparisons and Summaries
Numbers of mammals declared for inpartation into the United States increased from 89,854 in 1971 to 90,457 in 1972, an insignificant increase of 603 individuals or .67 percent. Most major groups in5)orted (see below) showed almost no change in the proportion they contributed to the total imported. Primate imports declined slightly, and imports of rodents increased slightly. The increase in the number of Rodentia inqx)rted was almost entirely the result of an increase in the numbers of laboratory animals (RotCuA non.ve.g- icuUi and MtM mu6cata6) declared for importation.

The variety of taxa in5)orted (see below) was slightly less in 1972 than that of taxa in 1971; nonetheless the present report lists 3 fami- lies, 21 genera, and 48 species that did not appear in the four previous listings. A number of species listed here for the first time, however, (e.g., GoLCcXaj, attamancLL, VlvtMa zlbzX.ka., and VulpOi ^uZva.) were probably iii5)orted during the preceding 4 years; tlieir absence from earlier lists reflects, in part, differences in methods of interpreting the data and in part the general low level of taxonomic competence exhibited on many of the iji5)ort declarations. About 70 percent of the families, 33 percent of the genera and 14 percent of the species of manmals of the world have been imported into the United States during the last 5 years.

Families of mammals making the largest contribution to the 1972 iii5x>rt totals are listed in table 1. With the exception of the Muridae most of the first 10 families listed show little change from that listed for 1971 and all but the Sciuridae have been among the "top 10" families in at least 4 of the 5 years covered by these reports. Similarly, species of mammals most frequently inported (table 2) have shown relatively little change fran year to year. Most of the species that have shown the most marked changes in ordinal rank over the 5 -year period (e.g. Pfiocyon CjOji- cUvofuii, Ce.bu& apeZlcL, SagiUnui my^tax, and S. Yu.Qfvic,olJLAj>) are also among those species for which nomenclature on the declaration forms has often been inadequate. Consequently it seems likely that the changes in the level of ijiqxjrtation implied by changes in these ordinal rankings may be more apparent than real.

Sources o£ Imported Mammals
In 1972 imported mammals were received from 64 countries (tables 3 and 4), compared with 66 countries in 1971. Nine of these countries were not listed as sources of in^xjrted mammals in either 1970 or 1971; the total number of countries exporting mammals to the U.S. from 1970 to 1972 is 85. None of these newly listed countries, except Bangladesh, exported more than 100 mammals to the Uaited States in 1972. The total number exported from all 9 countries was only 243 animals, a negligible 0.27 percent of all iiiq)orts.
Table 5 compares numbers of mammals inqjorted from the principal countries of origin from 1970 through 1972. For the most part the principle sources were the same in 1972 as those of the two preceding years. Variations in the ordinal rankings of two countries, Kenya and Tanzania, probably do not adequately reflect differing levels of wild- life harvest in these countries since the number of animals presumably obtained in Taiuania but exported frcan Nairobi (rather than Arusha) may vary considerably from year to year. The marked change in ordinal ranking for England merely reflects that a large number of laboratory mice (Mu4 miuculai)] were received from that country in 1972. The increase for France was all the result of a moderately large shipment of labora- tory rats (Ro-ttuA no-^veg-ccoA ) .

Inported Rare and Endangered Species
A number of species listed in the Red Data Book (1972) by the Inter- national Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (lUCN) were declared for ijrportation in 1972. At least some subspecies of rare and endangered mammals (e.g., CeAv/oi rUppon taiouLcmii,) that were included among the rare and endangered mammals listed in the Red Data Book were among the mammals imported in 1971, but identifications were usually not made to subspecies on the in^jort declarations.
Species of mammals listed in the lUCN Red Data Book in 1972 that were declared for in^jortation into the United States in 1972 are listed in table 6 below. A listing of the total number imported from 1968 through 1972 is also given although some of these mammals may not have been included in the Red Data Book nor on the U.S. list of foreign species in danger of extinction during the earlier part of this period. Letters to the left of names indicate their status in the Red Data Book with V indi- cating vulnerable; R, rare; E, endangered; and I, indeterminate but suspected of belonging in one or more of the three former categories. Those marked with an asterisk are included on the U.S. list of foreign species in danger of extinction.

I am indebted to M. Ralph Browning who aided in the initial sorting of some of the import declaration forms, which were made available through the courtesy of Marshall Stinnett, Division of Law Enforcement, Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. Helpful comments on the manuscript were made by John L. Paradiso, to whom I am sincerely grateful.
