Abstract

A NIMAL geography is perhaps the branch of geography least practiced by geographers, and the one they most cheerfully abandon to the systematic scientist. In part, this situation is probably deliberate zoogeography is usually considered too specialized and too remote from the central problems of human geography. In part, it may be due to historical accident-zoogeography was a discipline cultivated by zoologists even before the days of Humboldt and Ritter. Yet, at this moment, when the field of zoogeographical evidence is widening rapidly and reaching into an increasing number of nonbiological disciplines, there seems less reason than ever why some interest should not be shown in animal geography by geographers with proper zoological training and experience.
