306 the geography of mammals 



Deductions 



1. The Order Ungulata contains about 306 known 

 species, arranged in seventy -one genera and thirteen 

 families. 



2. Ungulates are found all over the earth except in the 

 Australian Region. In the Malagasy Sub-region there is 

 but one species, which may possibly be a recent intro- 

 duction. 



3. Ungulates are most abundant in the Ethiopian 

 Region, where 156 species occur. Of the great family 

 BovidaB 138 out of 200 known species are restricted to this 

 Region. 



4. There are no Bovine Ungulates in the Neotropical 

 Region, and only five (all nearly allied to recent or extinct 

 Palaearctic forms) in the Nearctic Region. 



5. In the Neotropical Region there are representatives 

 of only four out of the thirteen families of Ungulates — 

 Tapirs, Deer, Camels, and Peccaries. 



6. There are no Deer (Cervidte) in the Ethiopian 

 Region. 



7. The New World has only 38 species of Ungulates 

 against 270 found in the Old World.
