FRONTISPIECE. 
Map of India. 
The black shading indicates the Himalayan and Palearctic portions 
to the North and, in India, areas above the dividing line of tropical and 
sub-tropical India, usually above 2,000 feet. The dotted black line to the 
North is the political boundary, inclusive of Cashmir and Sikkim. The 
red lines and lettering indicate the faunal zones of Tropical India as 
described in the Section on Geographical Distribution below. The dotted 
lines dividing the West Coast indicate probable sub-regions and correspond 
to the Palghat and Goa gaps in the Ghauts. Sub-tropical faunal zones are 
not indicated.
