[Ads-l] Antedating of "Endangered Species"

[MULLINS, WILLIAM D (Bill) CIV USARMY CCDC AVMC (USA)]

1883 _The Popular Science News and Boston Journal of Chemistry_ 1 May 55/3 [Proquest]

"Thus it is that the grass and flowers and trees are provided for and preserved by the physiological laws of their own growth, and the animal kingdom has the added power of instinct supplementing the physiological function of organs; structure, function, and instinct all working together in effective concert prepare the endangered species for the wintry frost and storms, and for the work of another spring when the round of life is once more to begin."
