Dr. Hooker, in his address to the British Association, spoke thus 

 of the author: " Of Mr. Wallace and his many coniributiojis 

 to philosophical biology it is not easy to speak without entliu- 

 siasm; for, pitting aside tJieir great merits, he, throughout Ills 

 writings, 'with a tnodesty as rare as I believe it to be uncon- 

 scious, forgets Ids own unquestioned claim to the honour 0/ 

 having originated independently of Mr. Darwin, the tlieories 

 wliich he so ably defends,'''' The Saturday Review says: '■'■He 

 has combined an abundance 0/ fresh and original facts with a 

 liveliness and sagacity of reasoning zvltich are fwt often displayed 

 so effectively on so small a scale." 



THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF ANIMALS, 

 with a study of the Relations of Living and Extinct Faunas as 

 Elucidating the Past Changes of the Earth's Surface. 2 vols. Svo. 

 with Maps, and numerous Illustrations by Zwecker, /\2s. 



The Times says: '■^Altogether it is a wonderful and fascinating 

 story, -whatever objections may be taken to theories founded upon 

 it. Mr. Wallace has not attempted to add to its interest by any 

 adornments of style ; he has given a simple and clear statement 0/ 

 intrinsically interesting facts, and what lie considers to be legiti- 

 mate inductions from tliem. Naturalists ought to be grateful to 

 him for having undertaken so toilsotne a task. The work, indeed, 

 is a c7-edit to all concerned — the author, the publishers, the artist — 

 ■unfortunately now no more — of the attractive illustrations — last 

 but by no means least, Mr. Stanford's tnap-designer."
