Excerpt from Ecological Animal Geography: An Authorized, Rewritten Edition Based on Tiergeographie Auf Oekologischer Grundlage

We have also omitted many names of observers from the text, leaving only the reference numbers by means of which they may be recovered from the chapter bibliographies, and we have added signifi cant names and citations in an attempt to secure a more complete discussion. We have not hesitated to eliminate repetitions where pos sible and have shifted material from one chapter to another in order to concentrate discussions. The cross references added to the text, together with the extensive index, will allow ready reference to related parts of the discussion which may be unavoidably separated by the reorganization of the book. The terminology has been made more objective and less anthropomorphic, and technical ecological terms have to some extent been replaced by non-technical language.

The last chapter has been changed more than any other. It has been entirely rewritten in an attempt to concentrate there materials originally somewhat scattered and to expand these in the light of American experiences with the rapid and recent advances of civiliza tion upon primeval communities of plants and animals. In our opinion this change and the changes throughout the book have sharpened rather than blunted Professor Hesse's discussion.
