2. Northern and Alpine Group, comprising those species 

 which are now met with only in northern latitudes, or in 

 mountain-ranges where similar climatic conditions obtain : — 



Musk-sheep. Alpine Hare.

Arctic Fox. Ibex. 



Lemming. Snowy Vole. 



Tailless Hare. Chamois.

 acteristic of temperate latitudes : —

Roe. Fox. 



Saiga. Wolf.

 and E. antiquus, belonged to the southern group of animals, while 

 the hairy mammoth may be set down in the northern group, 

 although it is highly probable that it ranged far into the 

 territories occupied by the temperate group. The woolly 

 rhinoceros is so frequently found in conjunction with the 

 mammoth, that we must regard it also as being essentially a 

 north-temperate species. The other three species of rhinoceros
