Dec. 3d 1860. (V. Miss [illeg] Eng. Translation)

Bronn in Tr. of Origin p. 517 argues that forms could not have been equally developed throughout world, unless successive glacial periods have occurred. But he overlooks that dominant forms from temperate regions might be acclimatised to Equatorial regions & thence pass to southern regions.
