[part hi.being so scanty, it would be imprudent to attempt any moredetailed explanation of the peculiarities of its existing fauna.The sketch now given is, it is believed, founded on a sufficientbasis of facts to render it not only a possible but a probableaccount of what took place ;and it is something gained to beable to show, that a large portion of the peculiarities andanomalies of so remarkable a fauna as that of the Ethiopianregion, can be accounted for by a series of changes of physicalgeography during the tertiary epoch, which can hardly be consideredextreme, or in any way unlikely to have occurred.
—;chap, xi.] THE ETHIOPIAN REGION. 293TABLES OF DISTRIBUTION.In drawing up these tables showing the distribution of variousclasses of animals in the Ethiopian Region, the following sourcesof information have been chiefly relied on, in addition to thegeneral treatises, monographs, and catalogues, used for the FourthPart of this work:Mammalia.—Blanford's Abyssinia ;Peters's Mozambique;Heuglin and Schweinfurth for North East Africa ; GrandidierSchlegel, &c, for Madagascar; the local lists given by Mr.Andrew Murray ; numerous papers by Fraser, Gray, Kirk,Mivart, Peters, Sclater, and Speke; and a MS. list of Bovida?from Sir Victor Brooke.Birds.—Finsch and Hartlaub for East Africa; Heuglin forNorth-East Africa ; Blanford for Abyssinia ; Layard for SouthAfrica ; Hartlaub for West Africa ; Dohrn for Princes IslandAndersson for Damaraland;and papers by Gurney, Hartlaub,Kirk, Newton, Peters, Sharpe, Sclater, Schlegel, and Pollen ;and a MS. list of Madagascar Birds from Mr. Sharpe.
