Excerpt from The Distribution and Physical, and Past-Geological Relations of British North American Plants The species referable to this group, and some of which are confined to Ontario, have, in general, in the United States, a range from Western New England to Wisconsin a stretch of country in breadth about similar to that of Ontario. They occur chiefly west of the Appalachian chain, and do not appear to cross from the forest lands of Wis consm into the prairie country of Minnesota and Dakota. Their northward and northeastward range in Canada is probably limited by the colder climate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Animals of North America The most natural supposition is, that the all-wise Creator placed each species where it was permanently destined to live; and that from these different centres of creation, combinations have so multiplied between contiguous regions, as to form the various races of animal life. When we find a country possessing a group or groups of animals not found elsewhere; we may at once set down that as being the centre of a peculiar creation. In the location of many species, nature has placed various limits, and the spaces occupied by them are most unequal. For example: the Kangaroo and Ornithorhyncus are confined to New Holland; the Grizzly Bear to the Rocky Mountains; the Dodo, now extinct, to the Mauritius; whilst the Swallow, the Crow, and the Fox, extend to every known region. The principal cause of limitation is doubtless connected with the unequal tem perature. Of localities; certain species which thrive in one climate, perishing under the influence of another - also the nature of vegetation in one country, and the absence of it in another, - as in the Polar regions, - confining to the former the larger beasts of prey, dependent on herbivorous animals as their food, with the exception of, .in the latter, those that subsist on fish. The number of Species increase as we near the tropics, and there it is where Nature has been most lavish in the diversity of life, beauty of color, strangeness of form, and greatness of proportion. The present total number of living Species which has been satisfactorily made out and ascertained, exceeds, according to Agassiz.
