Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wanderings of Animals, Vol. 1 Some of these have therefore been indicated in a tentative way. Like other previous hypothetical maps they will be objected to by the timid, on principle; critics with more expert knowledge will amend them. Meanwhile, may the reader not forget that he has embarked in a frail craft upon a romantic voyage across unknown seas in search of undiscovered lands. Herewith ends the general part, the principles of distribution. The special part deals with the distribution of a considerable number of various groups of animals, mostly terrestrial vertebrates, selected for their fitness as test cases. Some seem to tell their story well; others, owing to remote age, insufficient data, and want of fossils, have got their record into a tangle. In a few sample cases, for instance the marsupials, an attempt has been made to unravel such a tangle, and to spin a coherent yarn. Since this cannot be done without recourse to many technical terms and names, it makes rather stiff reading. Such technicalities are the bane of the general reader be he never so interested in the subject, but where homely words and names are wanting, he has to put up with them. Further, he should know the geological time-table as well as his geography. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
