  1. Dear friend,

    I found your image showing mouse-deer of genus Tragulus. I'm in charge of the photographic organization of the Handbook of the Mammals of the World, for which we are now working on tome 2, treating hoofed mammals.
    We would be most interested to receive your images of mouse-deers. We offer for each published image a fee of 120 US$ or a free copy, to your election, of HMW or HBW.

    If you need more details, don't hesitate to contact me at jlcopete@hbw.com

    With thanks in advance and looking forward to hearing from you,

    José Luis
