Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book identifies the "primary freshwater stock", an enigmatic group of similar animals found in freshwater environments worldwide. The author examines the morphological and paleontological evidence to suggest these animals once existed in the ocean, but some factor caused them to m…ove to and remain in freshwater habitats. The author also discusses the possible reasons for this change, proposing that it may have been due to an alteration in the chemical composition of the ocean that favored some species while harming others and led to the development of entirely new marine groups. The book is a valuable resource for understanding the evolution and distribution of freshwater faunas and the dynamic relationship between marine and freshwater ecosystems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Moore's survey of the marine fauna of Lake Tanganyika in Central Africa, 'the first definite account of the Zoology and the Geology of the Great Lake Region of Africa, and of the extraordinary chain of evidence which has led to the belief that Tanganyika represents the old Jurassic Sea'.The so-called 'Tanganyika problem' began with its discovery by explorers Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke in 1858: Speke had collected a number of shells from the area which, when examined in the British Museum, were revealed to be distinct from other known fresh-water forms. Between 1896 and 1900, the geologist and marine biologist J.E.S. Moore set out on two Tanganyika expeditions seeking to explain these peculiarities, firstly by surveying the marine animals of Lake Tanganyika itself, and secondly by comparing his findings with the fauna of nearby Lake Kivu, Lake Edward, and Lake Albert. Moore concluded that the fauna of Tanganyika was not comparable with other living marine forms, but instead seemed to hail from an earlier stage of marine evolution. As a result, he argued that Tanganyika, unlike the other great African lakes, must once have been connected to the sea, from whence came its peculiar marine species: 'The strange animals, the jelly-fishes, the molluscs, the sponges etc., which appear in Tanganyika, and apparently nowhere else in Africa now, may be regarded as the relic of a time when the lake basin was in connection with an ancient sea, and consequently filled with its ancient fauna. Moreover, the date of the lake's connection with the sea, which this view of the nature and origin of the halolimnic fauna necessitates, is so remote, that it can easily be made to fit in with our revised notions of the past history of the continent' (p. 6). Moore published his first work on the subject, To the Mountains of the Moon, in 1901. The work detailed the events of his second Tanganyika expedition, northwards of the lake through modern day Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Although he already advanced many of the conclusions he was to expand upon later, the work was intended for a general audience and focusses on the narrative and adventure of his expedition rather the quality and impact of his findings. This work, of which the present copy is the first and only edition, was first published in 1903 and is far more scientific in content. It begins with a description of the Tanganyika problem as Moore sees it, and then goes on to describe in detail the geology and marine biology of the lake. This includes numerous illustrations and plates of the various fish, mollusc, and crustacean varieties which Moore studied in Tanganyika and brought back to the British Museum. Consequently, Moore's work stands tall both as an important work of natural history and marine biology and as a visually arresting and impressive work of geological and marine illustrations.
