Abstract
IN addition to being one of the originators of the modern doctrine of animal evolution and one of the leading pioneers in the study of the geographical distribution of the earth's fauna, Dr. Russel Wallace is a writer noted for such a fascinating style and such a happy mode of presenting his views, that any work from his pen is sure of a hearty reception on the part of the more thoughtful section of the reading public. And even those who by no means agree with all his views—whether on scientific or social questions—cannot fail to admire the fairness with which he treats debatable points, and the temperate manner in which he replies to and discusses the objections raised by his critics.
