THE GEOGRAPHY OF MAMMALS 



restricted to its boundaries. The endemic forms among 

 the Ungulata are Capreolus, containing the Roe-deer, a 

 single species of which is found throughout the whole 

 extent of the Region ; and Rupicapra, the Chamois, found 

 only in the Pyrenees, Alps, Carpathians, and Caucasus. The 

 single endemic rodent is the familiar Dormouse (Muscar- 

 dinws), which is apparently confined to Europe. On the 

 other hand, the little Water-shrew (Crossopus) extends from 

 England to the Altai mountains. 



There is a considerable number of genera common 

 to the Europasian Sub-region and the Nearctic Region. 

 With the exception, however, of two, the Elk and the 

 Reindeer, these have mostly spread also into the other 

 Pabearctic Sub-regions. On the whole the fauna of this 

 Sub-region has little individuality, and calls for very few 

 remarks as to its distinctness. 



Appended is a list of the genera, drawn up in the same 

 manner as in the previous tables.
