The inequality of these provinces, in size and importance, is partly natural, 

 and partly caused by the unequal facilities they present for sub-division. The 

 '■' Indo-Pacitic" is not of the same rank with the Japonic, but results from the 

 fusion of several provinces. Mr. Waterhouse terms the great regions in 

 ■which the large groups of animals are distinct, ordinal and family provinces; 

 the smaller regions (jenerie or specific provinces. — (Johnston's Physical 

 Atlas, 28.)
