Passage 1 Rgns, anmdls thew xt he Coming down to a more recent epoch,
Itis often asked "why do animals become
‘extinet?" but the question is one to which
it is impossible to give a comprehensive
and satisfactory reply; this chapter does
5 not pretend too so, but merely presents
1 few aspects of this complicated, many-
sided problem.
a Invery many cases it may be said that
actual extermination has not taken place,
10 but that in the course of development one
PY species has passed into another; species
may have been lost, but the race, just as
in the growth of a tree, the twigs and
branches of the sapling disappear, while

To-day the women of England, Europe

extermination of scores of beautiful
species of wild birds by the devilish
