Abstract
The carnivora of Madagascar are divided into 8 genera, 3 subfamilies and just one family, that of the Viverridae. All are peculiar to Madagascar except for the genus Viverricula, which is represented by a single species, Viverricula rasse (Horsfield), which is also found throughout southern Asia and was probably introduced to the island with man.
