Atlas of Zoogeography: A Series of Maps illustrating the Distribution of over Seven Hundred Families, Genera, and Species of Existing Animals

Description:

Bartholomew’s Physical Atlas Vol. V. 'The object of the present volume is to delineate and describe, so far as the state of our knowledge permits, the present distribution of the higher animals over the surface of the Earth. The undertaking, with the exception of Plate 36, is not based upon any previous work of a similar nature, but is entirely the result of original researches into the zoological literature of all countries. Al the families of Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Amphibians, together with several of the more important genera and species, have been dealt with, while the work embraces in addition most of the families of Fishes and a selection of families and genera of Molluscs and Insects.'
