III. AREA SUBDIVISIONS 
A. Definition and Description 
Due to the large size of the region under consideration, some 
care was taken in delimiting areas which function more or less as a unit 
The breakdown into subdivisions as outlined below is somewhat artificial 
but does reflect what I take to be fairly naturally separations in the 
distribution of fauna. It is, I feel, the most "natural" possible with 
aspect to the present data:
