Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lost and Vanishing Birds: Being a Record of Some Remarkable Extinct Species and a Plea for Some Threatened Forms One of the saddest features of civilisation is the disappearance of so many beautiful and curious creatures form this world of ours. From all parts of the earth the same story comes; and we now seem to be within measurable distance of a time when wrecks and remnants of once compact and indigenous assemblages of organisms will be all that remain to us, and such a thing as a complete fauna will be unknown. This is not only a crime, but the violation of a sacred trust which we hold for posterity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... ages, all living things have been (and still continue to be) unceasingly striving, under the influence of certain well-recognised laws, to adapt themselves to more or less constantly changing conditions of existence. What is popularly known as the "balance of nature" is the primal result of these incessant efforts of organisms, one acting upon the other in countless ways, to maintain a place in the ranks of struggling life. We can very forcibly illustrate these remarks by quoting one or two classical instances recorded by Darwin. Certainly one of the most complex of these is that which illustrates the intricate connection between, and interdependence upon, such widely different organisms as a carnivorous animal and a scented yet lowly flower. Perhaps every reader may be aware that certain flowers absolutely depend upon the visits of insects to fertilise them. They cannot produce seed without such visits; and in a great many instances this fertilisation can only be accomplished by a certain species of insect. Now, one of our commonest flowers, the red clover, is largely, perhaps we might almost say entirely, fertilised by our little friend the humble-bee. If these bees do not visit the clover flowers, those flowers are sterile and produce no seeds. But the humble-bees have a deadly enemy in the field-mice, which destroy, it has been computed, no less than twothirds of their nests and combs. The mice in their turn are destroyed by cats, Owls, Kestrels; so that in localities where the enemies of mice are common the bees have more chance of multiplying, and the flowers a correspondingly greater facility for fertilisation. The abundance of clover in a district may therefore depend upon the number of cats, of Owls and Kestrels! Take another...
