Zoological Characteristics of the Himalayan Sub-region.— 
Taking this sub-region as a whole, we find it to be charac- 
terised by 3 genera of mammalia (without counting bats), and 
44 genera of land-birds, which are altogether peculiar to it; 
and by 13 genera of mammalia and 36 of birds, which it 
possesses in common with the Malayan sub-region; and 
besides these it has almost all the genera before enumerated 
as “Oriental,” and several others of wide range, more especially 
a number of Palearctic genera which appear in the higher 
Himalayas. The names of the more characteristic genera are 
as follows :—
