Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geographical and Geological, Distribution of Animals The subject of geographical and geological distribution is so vast that no full treatment of it could be expected in the limited number Of pages set apart for it in the present work. The author has, therefore, been obliged to omit, or at least largely ignore, the consideration of some of the less impor tant animal groups, and, While recognising the deficiencies resulting from such omission, trusts that it will not detract much from the general usefulness of the publication. The plan of treatment followed in the early part of the book (geographical distribution) is largely that so admirably un folded by Mr. Wallace, to Whom, for the constant use of his works, the author is under great obligations. He also Wishes to express his special indebtedness to the pioneer workers in this field, Schmarda and Murray, Whose writings have laid the foundation of much of our existing knowledge in the premises. NO Special mention need be made of the numer ous other authors Who have contributed more or less exten sively to the subject under consideration, and whose works have aided in the preparation of the present volume; to those, collectively, the author likewise desires to acknowledge his indebtedness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from European Animals: Their Geological History and Geographical Distribution The method of treatment of the subject discussed in this work was adopted by me when delivering the Swiney Lectures on Geology last year, at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Dr. Wallace's remark that we may be enabled, by an accurate knowledge of any group of birds or insects and of their geographical distribution, to map out the islands and continents of a former epoch, encouraged me to attempt to apply his ideas in dealing with our own Continent, and to extend them to other groups of animals. Professor E. Forbes was the first to recognise the significance of the geographical distribution of living animals in deciphering their past wanderings, and I have approached the investigation of the geological history of our fauna in the manner indicated by him. I thought that this method would convey to the general reader, as well as to the student, a clear conception of the nature of the problems to be solved. I trust that this work will stimulate the researches of the student of systematic Biology and that it may also prove acceptable as a contribution to the past geographical history of our Continent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geographical Distribution of Animals, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Study of the Relations of Living and Extinct Faunas as Elucidating the Past Changes of the Earth's Surface The detailed study of several groups of the birds and insects collected by myself in the East, brought prominently before me some of the curious problems of Geographical Distribution; but I should hardly have ventured to treat the whole subject, had it not been for the kind encouragement of Mr. Darwin and Professor Newton, who, about six years ago, both suggested that I should undertake the task. I accordingly set to work; but soon became discouraged by the great dearth of materials in many groups, the absence of general systematic works, and the excessive confusion that pervaded the classification. Neither was it easy to decide on any satisfactory method of treating the subject. During the next two years, however, several im portant catalogues and systematic treatises appeared, which induced me to resume my work; and during the last three years it has occupied a large portion of my time. After much consideration, and some abortive trials, an outline plan of the book was matured; and as this is, so far as I am aware, quite novel, it will be well to give a few of the reasons for adopting it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geographical and Geological, Distribution of Animals In the preparation of the following pages the author has had two objects in view: that of presenting to his readers such of the more significant facts connected with the past and present distribution of animal life as might lead to a proper conception of the relations of existing faunas; and, secondly, that of furnishing to the student a work of general reference, wherein the more salient features of the geography and geology of animal forms could be sought after and readily found. The need of such a work has been frequently felt and expressed. As far as he is aware, no work of that kind has as yet appeared, and therefore, to a certain extent, this publication stands alone in the field it is intended to cover. Necessarily, much that it embraces can be found elsewhere, and treated even at considerably greater length; but the matter is not contained under a single cover, and where a special subject is expounded in extenso the treatment is usually too exhaustive to permit of immediate use by the general reader. This applies particularly to zoogeography. With reference to geological distribution there is little connectedly written - indeed, beyond what is found in text-books largely devoted to cognate subjects, practically nothing.
