thorn by Dr. Allen. ‘When our knowledge of the zoo-geographical di-visions of tho Old World equals that of our
American brethren as regards those of their own country, it will probably bo found that the position of » Sub-Regions.-
which we have uphold, will be found not to be justified by exact statistics, and therefore many of those “ Sub-llogions ’
will have to be degraded to the rank of “ Provinces ” and “ Sub-Provinces.-' in tho Tables of Geographical
Distribution wo have followed Dr. Allen’s sub-divisions of the Ncarctic Avifauna more closely than in our essay on
the “ Zoo-Geographical A re a so f tho World.
