ABSTRACT. An inventory of the mammal fauna of the Con Son Island, the largest island of Con Dao Archipelago in southern Vietnam, has been conducted during the 2010 expedition of the Russian-Vietnam Tropical Centre. 17 species of terrestrial mammals are recorded based on trapped specimens and field observations. Relevant taxonomic notes, as well as distributional and habitat data, are provided for each reported species. An annotated list of terrestrial mammals of Con Son Island based on our field survey and a comparative analysis with the available literature data are presented.
