b e recollected that the high percentage is largely due to the great increase in the
total number of species as compared with any district to the west, and probably also
to the wide extent of unexplored Himalaya lying between it and Yunnan, the only
eastern district with which we are in a position to compare it. Indeed, the true significance
of the figures in this table only becomes apparent when it is considered along
with the similar table for Yunnan. Probably no such abrnpt break as they seem to
indicate exists anywhere in the Himalaya, and the reader is warned against construing
them in this sense. If the table given below be consulted, it will be observed
ihat there are in Sikkioi Proper 40 species, of which only 8, or 20 per cent., are
cudemic, and in the Chumbi Valley 34, of which only 4, or 11-7 per ccnt., are endemic.
This is in accordance with the evidence supplied by all the preceding districts, and
probably indicates the condition of affairs throughout the entii'e province.
