THE GEOGRAPHY OF MAMMALS 



B. Marine Carnivora 



Deductions 



1. About 260 species of terrestrial Carnivora are known, 

 divisible into fifty-eight genera and eight families. 



2. They are distributed pretty equably over all the 

 Regions of the earth except Australia, where the Dingo 

 (possibly introduced) is their only representative.
