Multivariate Distributions at a Cross Road

A selective survey of developments in the area of continuous multivariate statistical distributions during the twentieth century is presented with emphasis on non-normal models. Discrete multivariate distributions are not discussed. An extension of a useful bivariate family is indicated.
