Divergent Evolution

Abstract

SOME of your readers may possibly remember a paper of mine on “The Variation of Species as related to their Geographical Distribution,” which appeared in NATURE, vol. vi. p. 222. About the same time I prepared a paper on “Diversity of Evolution under One Set of External Conditions, “ which was published in the Linnean Society's Journal—Zoology, vol. xi. pp. 496-505. I refer to these papers simply to say that the problems there discussed have occupied my attention more or less ever since.
