GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION 



Islands and the Southern extreme of Kamtschatka. An exact coun- 

 terpart of the preceding region ; and in like manner, principally 

 covered with a forest of spruces. 



11. The Mountain Summits of Atlas and of the Canary Islands. 

 Including, probably, the summit of the Sierra Nevada in Spain, and 

 of Pico Ruivo in Madeira. 



12. The Summit of Mount Etna. Probably affording traces of a 

 distinct botanical region; that may include the summit of Taygetus, 

 and of other high mountains in Greece. 



13. The most elevated Mountain Summits in the Sinai Peninsula. 

 Described as affording traces of a distinct botanical region. 



14. The Western or Bactrian Slope of the Himalayan Table- 

 land. 



15. The elevated main surface of the Himalayan Table-land, or 

 the PiEGioN OF Thibet. 



16. The Southern or Nepaul Slope of the Himalayan Table- 

 land. 



17. The Eastern or Chinese Slope of the Himalayan Table-land. 



18. The Mountain Region in Japan. 



19. The most elevated Mountain Summits in Ceylon and South- 

 ern Hindostan. 



20. The most elevated Mountain Summits in Sumatra and Java. 



21. The most elevated Mountain Summits in the Philippine 

 Islands and in Northern Borneo. 



22. The lofty Mountain Summits in the Hawaiian Islands. 



23. The Summits of the lofty mountains in Southern Mexico. 



24. The most elevated Mountain Summits in Jamaica and Haiti. 

 Possibly including mountain summits towards the Eastern end of Cuba. 

 Presenting traces of a separate forest region in the trees and other 

 woody phants, but probably containing very few peculiar species. 



25. The Lower Mountain Region in California. On the flanks 

 and perhaps the crest generally, of the snowy mountain-range that 

 bounds the great Interior Table-land. 



26. The Wooded Portion of Northwest America. Overspread 

 with a forest of spruces, like Siberia and Northern Europe, but proba- 

 bly with less intermingling of other kinds of trees. Fertile natural 

 openings of limited extent, are however frequent. 



27. The Canadian Forest Region. A counterpart and continua- 

 tion of the last-named Region ; but occupied by an unbroken forest.
