394 BULLETIN OF THE 



tion of the Carolinas, and a narrow belt in Northern Georgia. West 

 of the Appalachian highlands its northern boundary sweeps to the 

 northeastward as far as Northern Ohio, and thence runs westward, pro- 

 bably along the water-shed of that State ; rising somewhat to the north- 

 ward in passing farther west, it crosses Michigan near the southern 

 border of that State, and embraces a portion of Southern Wisconsin 

 and Southern Minnesota. 



The Carolinian Fauna hence embraces Long Island and Southeastern 

 New York, the greater part of New Jersey, all of Delaware, a small 

 portion of Southeastern Pennsylvania, the greater part of Maryland 

 and East Virginia, all of North Carolina, except the extreme eastern 

 and western portions, the northwestern half of South Carolina, a narrow 

 belt of Northern Georgia south of the mountains, the eastern part of 

 Tennessee, the larger part of West Virginia, nearly all of Ohio and 

 Kentucky, all of Indiana, nearly all of Illinois, a narrow strip of 

 Michigan and Wisconsin, nearly all of Iowa and the greater part of 

 Missouri, and the eastern portions of Nebraska and Kansas. It also 

 occupies the lower Appalachian valleys. 



It is distinguished from the Louisianian Fauna by the absence of the 

 species mentioned in the preceding list, and by the presence of those 

 given in the list next following. The features distinguishing it from 

 the Alleghanian will be presently given in the diagnosis of that fauna.
