Présentation de l'éditeur
It would be invidious to mention any special sources to which I have been indebted for aid in the production of the present work: the field is so vast, that one must needs gather details from the stores of many workers: but I cannot refrain from expressing my indebtedness to the works of the late distinguished author of the theory of Natural Selection, and to those of Professor Huxley and of Sir John Lubbock. My best thanks are due to the latter for his kind permission to use several illustrations from his interesting work on the relations between insects and flower-fertilisation. The illustrations as a whole will, I trust, be found to materially assist the comprehension of the most important points discussed in the various chapters. A. W. EDINBURGH :O ctober 1882.
