The CHART OF ZOOLOGICAL REGIONS, page 370, is intended to show 

 the limits of the several Faunas of the American Continent, corresponding 

 to the climatal regions. As the higher regions of the mountains cor- 

 respond in temperature to the climate of higher latitudes, it will be seen 

 that the northern temperate fauna extends, along the mountains of Mexico 

 and Central America, much farther towards the Equator, than it does on 

 the lower levels. In the same manner, the southern warm fauna extends 

 northward, alung the Andes.
