The History of the European Fauna
Robert Francis Scharff
Why does Britain share animals with Siberia, and where did the Arctic fauna come from? R. F. Scharff traces the migrations that stocked Europe with its living creatures, chapter by chapter, from the British fauna to the great Siberian movement. A detective story told in species and ice ages. Biogeography before the name existed, argued with Victorian care and conviction.
