Description
Excerpt from Convergence in Evolution
IN these pages I have attempted to place on record in a connected form some facts of natural history which have, directly or indirectly, passed under my own observation during a number of years, together with others which I have collected from various sources. Many of them are known facts brought into fresh conjunctions, others are somewhat less familiar, and some are practically new. I have endeavoured to render the language intelligible to those who have an inkling of biological knowledge; and terms which may appear difficult in the text are usually explained in the context; but I have found it impossible to avoid using the current phraseology of the subject.
