sidered in relation to the principal Ontological Regions of the Earth 
and the Laws which govern the Distribution of Animal Life. Bull. 
U. S. Surv. Terr. iv. pp. 313-378. 
Rejects Sclater’s six regions and divides the world into eight “ realms,” 
viz. I., Arctic ; II., North Temperate (with 2 regions and 8 pro- 
vinces) ; III., American Tropical (3 regions) ; IV., Indo-African 
(2 regions, 5 provinces) ; V., South-American Temperate (2 provinces); 
VI., Australian (3 regions, 2 provinces) ; VII., Lemurian ; VIII., 
Antarctic. The distribution of life on the globe is held to be “ co- 
ordinated with climatic zones,” and the argument is illustrated by tables 
of Mammalian genera.
