16 INTR OD VCTION. These will be illustrated, in the case of each continent and the greatisland groups by large numbers of faithful representations of the mostprominent types of animals and plants peculiar to them. To go into theclassification of animals and plants in a work of this nature would bequite impossible. What will be attempted will be, to place before thereader illustrations and brief notes of some of the most important featuresin the life of the great divisions of the globe, as an appropriate accompani-ment to the story of the nations.

In such cases consideration will begiven to the economic importance of the plant in a particular region indetermining its place of illustration. Complex questions of the distribution of animals and plants cannot here be dealt with. It
