Over 1,000 genera and 2,500 species of fishes were named as a direct result of his activities. Jordan was a founding member of the Sierra Club. "Jordan's Law" in biogeography states that populations of most-closely-related species are separated from one another by physical barriers."Published/Copyright: 1906; First EditionPublisher: Washington: Government Printing OfficeBinding: Leather Bound Hardcover with Gold Lettering; 11" x 8"Pages: vii + 488 + 53 full plate pages (of which 30 are in color)Visit our Ebay Store for more books like this one.Our books are sold as-is.Please email any questions prior to purchasing.  Thanks!
