AS
As
lakes and
river systems
river-systems
are separated from each other by barriers of land, it might have been thought that fresh-water productions would not have ranged widely within the same country,
and
and,
as the sea is apparently a still more
formidable
impassable
barrier, that they
would never
never would
have extended to distant countries. But the case is exactly the reverse. Not only have many fresh-water species, belonging to
quite
quite
different classes, an enormous range, but allied species prevail in a remarkable manner throughout the world. I well remember, when first collecting in the fresh waters of Brazil, feeling much surprise at the similarity of the fresh-water insects, shells, &c., and at the dissimilarity of the surrounding terrestrial beings, compared with those of Britain.
But this power in fresh-water productions of ranging widely, though so unexpected, can, I think, in most cases be explained by their having become fitted, in a manner highly useful to them, for short and frequent migrations from pond to pond, or from stream to
stream
stream;
and liability to wide dispersal would follow
