Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Mammals Great Britain has some forty species of land mammals as against Germany's ninety and Scandinavia's sixty, while Ireland has only twenty-two. In Reptiles and Amphibians a small country like Belgium has about twenty-two species, while Great Britain has thirteen, and Ireland only four, of which none are Snakes. This extreme poverty has been accounted for by the destruction caused by the glacial epoch during Pleistocene times, and to some extent by the subsidence and flooding of the country which occurred during this epoch.
