Peisker, the original home of the Slavs was in the great marsh country (only drained in modern times) in the province of Volhynia and Minsk, through which the Pripet flows into the Dnieper. The foundation of his view is the result of the investigations of the Polish botanist Rostafinski.

Rostafinski has shown that the boundary line of the beech region runs from Kbnigsberg to Odessa, while the hornbeam limit embraces the marsh region described above (Polesia). The conditions of such a primitive home explain so e of their habits, such as their unmilitary character and their agility
