摘要：One of the many fields of interest pursued by Miklós Kretzoi is vertebrate taxonomy. He used to collect evidences
on Mammalian species and genera since 1927. The tangible result of this activity is a monograph published in
2000 entitled Index generum et subgenerum Mammalium. In course of the work preceding the publication of the
monograph the data set was organised into a database and made available on internet for three years as part of
the contributions of the Hungarian National Museum to the database project of the NIIF (National Information
Infrastructure Project), under the name of GENUS database. With major modifications in the HNM informatical
system, the availability of the databases ceased.
Following the publication of the monograph and in honour of Miklós Kretzoi, on the occasion of the 100th
anniversary of his birth, we revitalised the database in another system at the server of the Archaeocomp
association (www.ace.hu/GENUS). At the same time, some key statistical data were collected that were put
forward by him but which he could not accomplish any more.
