character of the Subtropical Zone of this region, and tend to bear out 

 the indications afforded by a study of the fauna of the Tropical Zone. 

 Unfortunately our knowledge of the Subtropical Zone of Venezuela is 

 far from satisfactory, but there is every reason to believe that a numei- 

 ical comparison here would show a somewhat similar result. In order 

 to reach an understanding of the origin and relationships of the Sub- 

 tropical Zone fauna of the Santa Marta region, however, it will be 

 instructive to compare it directly with the same zone as represented 

 in neighboring sections. It will be convenient to present these data in 

 tabular form.
