  It 
  is 
  evident 
  that 
  the 
  western 
  New 
  York 
  lowland 
  both 
  from 
  its 
  tempera- 
  

   ture 
  and 
  its 
  fauna 
  is 
  Alleghanian 
  with 
  a 
  slight 
  admixture 
  of 
  Carolinian 
  

   forms. 
  The 
  Bobwhite, 
  Grasshopper 
  sparrow, 
  Rough-winged 
  swallow. 
  

   Golden-winged 
  warbler, 
  Prairie 
  warbler, 
  Louisiana 
  water-thrush, 
  and 
  

   Hooded 
  warbler 
  are 
  not 
  strictly 
  Carolinian 
  species, 
  but 
  all 
  have 
  their 
  north- 
  

   ern 
  breeding 
  limit 
  in 
  the 
  Alleghanian 
  (Transition 
  zone), 
  although 
  thev 
  

   are 
  more 
  common 
  in 
  the 
  Carolinian 
  (Upper 
  Austral) 
  zone. 
  In 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  

   Mam.malia 
  western 
  New 
  York 
  is 
  even 
  more 
  strongly 
  Alleghanian. 
  

  

  On 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  great 
  diversity 
  of 
  soils, 
  slopes 
  and 
  drainage 
  systems 
  

   in 
  New 
  York, 
  and 
  the 
  greater 
  or 
  less 
  isolation 
  of 
  its 
  cold 
  and 
  warm 
  areas.
