Excerpt from An Account of the Mammals and Birds of the Lower Colorado Valley: With Especial Reference to the Distributional Problems Presented The obvious principle has been followed. That no generalized treat ment of a concrete subject like geographic distribution is justifiable upon any but the soundest basis of systematic analysis. Because of the close dependence of most mammals and birds upon plants the latter have an important place in any treatment of animal distribution. The set of plants secured by the Colorado River Expedi tion has been named by Professor H. M. Hall, of the University of California. Names so provided are used throughout the present paper, particularly in the discussion of associational areas. My sincere acknowledgements are hereby extended. To Professor Charles H. Gilbert, Department of Zoology, Leland Stanford Junior University, and to Professor Charles A: Kofoid, Department of Zoology, University of California, for critical suggestions concern ing general considerations; to Professor H. M. Hall, of the University of California, for critical reading of the chapter on associations; and to Messrs. Harry S. Swarth and Walter P. Taylor, fellow staff members in the California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, for help from time to time on many points of detail.
