Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fauna of Scotland: With Special Reference to Clydesdale and the Western District, Fresh and Brackish-Water Ostracoda The Natural History Society of Glasgow, having resolved to publish Catalogues of the Fauna of Scotland, with special reference to Clydesdale and the Western District, requests the co-operation of all interested in Scottish Zoology. The following zoologists have agreed to draw up lists of the species in the various groups to which their names are appended. Any observers who can furnish information regarding the distribution of species, the variations which they undergo in particular localities, the altitudes which they reach, and generally any notes bearing on the subject, will further the object in view by communicating with these gentlemen, the lists being now in preparation. The Council will also be glad to hear from any zoologists (whether members of the Society or not) who would undertake to prepare Catalogues of those classes for which no compilers have as yet been obtained. As far as possible, the Catalogues will be drawn up on one uniform plan, and of the same size as the Proceedings of the Society, with which they will be issued to the members, although paged apart for future collection. A limited number of copies will also be printed for separate sale. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fauna of Scotland: With Special Reference to Clydesdale and the Western District, Fresh and Brackish-Water Ostracoda IN undertaking the preparation of a Catalogue of the Fresh and Brackish-water Ostracoda, chiefly of the West of Scotland, I have had great misgivings whether at the present time it could be brought to a satisfactory issue. I have to express my thanks to Dr. G. S. Brady for his valuable assistance in all cases of doubtful species. I may mention that the new species in this Catalogue will be described and figured in a joint Paper by Dr. G. S. Brady and myself.

Book Synopsis The Wild Plants of Scotland and The Animals of Scotland by : Robert Sibbald
Download or read book The Wild Plants of Scotland and The Animals of Scotland written by Robert Sibbald and published by Lee Raye. This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There must be a divine kindness directed towards our homeland, because most of our animals have a use for human life. We also lack those wild and savage ones of other regions. Wolves were common once upon a time, and even bears are spoken of among the Scottish: but time extinguished the genera and they are extirpated from the island." The Wild Plants of Scotland and The Animals of Scotland is a translation of two parts of Robert Sibbald's (1684) Scotia Illustrata. The most ambitious of Britain's early modern regional natural histories, this text drew on data provided by over sixty contributors to describe the state of nature in Scotland in 1684. This book describes Scotland as a paradise waiting to be harvested. Sibbald and his fellow contributors catalogue almost a thousand species of flora and fauna from the country, most of which were found to be useful to humans in some way. This is a rich source of information for conservationists, environmental and medical historians, conservationists and anyone interested in the natural heritage of Scotland. Translated and edited by L Raye
Book Synopsis The Influence of Man on Animal Life in Scotland by : James Ritchie
Download or read book The Influence of Man on Animal Life in Scotland written by James Ritchie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-27 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence of Man on Animal Life in Scotland: A Study in Faunal Evolution The animal life or fauna of a country is no fixed unit of occupation, established and unchanging, but, endowed with the plasticity of life, it carries in itself the imprints of many influences which have played upon it throughout the ages. The lectures contained in the following pages were planned to unravel one important set of such influences - those which radiate from the acts of Man - so that it might be possible to trace the different ways in which Man's power has worked and is working, and to realize to what degree a fauna of to-day owes its character and composition to his interference. With this end in view it was necessary to select a particular fauna of manageable compass, where the inquisition into Man's influence could be pushed to the furthest limits; and several facts pointed to the fauna of Scotland as best suited for the purpose. Nevertheless, I have not hesitated to refer to examples of Man's influence in other countries, wherever particular types have been strikingly illustrated, or where influences are seen at work which help to explain effects of causes long lost to sight in Scotland, or where, as in the case of counter-pests, modern science has created new kinds of interference which sooner or later are likely to be adopted in this country. A result of this enquiry has been to emphasize the instability and changefulness of a fauna, and a word may be said as to the general place of Man's influence in the sum of change.

Book excerpt: Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.
Book Synopsis The Fauna of Scotland by : Edward R Alston
Download or read book The Fauna of Scotland written by Edward R Alston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-04 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fauna of Scotland: With Special Reference to Clydesdale and the Western District; Mammalia The facts indicated by the above Table are, at first sight, some what contradictory. As Ireland possesses the greatest number Of species in common with the mainland of Scotland, it might well be supposed to have been in connection with it up to a later date than even the Inner Islands. On the other hand we have the presence of other forms, as of the Field Vole in the Hebrides, and of the same species with the Water Shrew and Water Vole in Orkney, which are conspicuous by their absence from the Irish fauna. It appears to me, however, that this apparent contradic tion may be explained, if we remember the more northern position of the Scottish Islands and the nature of the country lying between them and the south-western source from which our Mammalian fauna was undoubtedly derived. A consideration of the relative depths of the channels which respectively divide Ireland and the Islands from the mainland of Scotland would lead us to the conclusion that the severance of the former took place first, and that the Orkneys remained longest uninsulated. An upheaval of about 240-2 70 feet would bring the latter again into communication with Caithness, while it would require a rise of about 300-320 feet to reunite the Hebrides with Skye, and of from 700 to 900 feet to restore land communication between the various parts of south-western Scotland and north eastern Ireland. Nor does the distribution of Mammal life seem to me to contradict such a hypothesis. The absence from the known fossil fauna of Scotland and Ireland of most of the characteristic postpliocene English animals shows that the north ward migration Of these forms was slow, gradually advancing as the glacial conditions of the northern parts of our islands decreased in intensity. Thus it is not difficult to suppose that the Hedge hog, Ermine, Badger, Squirrel, and Mountain Hare, may have found their way through southern Scotland into Ireland long before they were able to penetrate into the still sub-arctic regions of the Highlands. Subsequently, when the continued depression of the land had isolated Ireland, and the improvement of the climate had continued, the Shrews and Voles may well have found their way northwards along the comparatively genial coasts, before the larger beasts of prey could find a sufficient stock of game. When they reached Orkney, however, they appear to have found it a veritable Ultima Thule, for the absence from Shetland of any land animal (except the half-aquatic Otter) seems to indicate thatthose islands were already separated before the arrival Of any form of Mammalian life.
