NATURAL SELECTION. First Edition 1870.Reprinted 1875.TROPICAL NATURE. First Edition 1878.
PEEFACETHE present volume consists mainly of a reprint of twovolumes of essays Contributions to the Theory of NaturalSelection, which appeared in 1870, with a second edition in1871, and has now been many years out of print; and,Tropical Nature and Other Essays, which appeared in 1878.In preparing a new edition of these works to appear asa single volume I have thought it advisable to omit two"essays that on "The Malayan Papilionidae as being tootechnical for general readers, and that on " The Distributionof Animals as indicating Geographical Changes," which containsnothing that is not more fully treated in my otherworks. Another essay "By - Paths in the Domain ofBiology" has also been partly omitted, one portion of itforming a short chapter on " The Antiquity and Origin ofMan," while another portion has been incorporated in thechapter on " The Colours of Animals and Sexual Selection."More than compensating for these omissions are two newchapters" The Antiquity of Man in North America " and"The Debt of Science to Darwin."Many corrections and some important additions have beenmade to the text, the chief of which are indicated in thetable given below ;and to facilitate reference the two originalworks have separate headings, and form Parts I. and II. ofthe present volume.
