INTRODUCTION

With a view to the study of huimal life the land surface of the globe is divid ed into various regions. These divisions" are justified graorally by the character of the animals found within them, though. in the case of birds," many of whom migrate long distances, they are not so the trae. Hoogkong and China south Yang-isz, are in the Oriental Region,

stage of development; and non-placental where no provision for advanced develop. ment is made. No species of non- placental mammal is known is this region. Y. B. Where a class is unknown in the district it is marked by an asterisk.

is not surprising to find that birds and animals known at home are found, 'n Eastern Asia only in Siberia, and con- versely that birds and animals well known here are both unknown and un-named in England. (For a map of the Zoological Reginas sie Encyclopacilis Brittanica vol. 33 p. 935).
