NOTE:

1. I have used these all pre WW2 charts.It is not whether there are more acurate charts now available that is the question.

2. It has to be assumed that these were accurate at the time (other wise where else would the information/data have come from?) it is the change (if indeed any?) in individual species rather than an overall trend that Im interested in.
