Excerpt from The Moorlands of North-Eastern Yorkshire: Their Natural History and Origin Moore der Schweiz. But this work differs from all these in that it considers not only the plant life of the Eastern Moorlands, but also the geology and zoology in their relationship and interdependence. It may be as well to direct attention to certain sections of the work which deal with aspects and problems of the moors hitherto overlooked, or merely hinted at by earlier workers: the peat beds and the evidence they yield as to primitive woodland on the moors; the relationship of the moorland fauna and flora to the glaciation of the district; the origin of the chief moorland land-forms.
