Watching GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF BIRDS

The Indian or Oriental Region

This, the last of the six Regions to be defined, is bordered by the Ethiopian region on the west, the indefinitely outlined Holarctic Region on the north, and the rather sharply circumscribed Australian Region on the east. While this Region is the home of a large number of peculiar genera and species, there appears to be but a single peculiar family; namely, the Eurylcemidce, or Broad-bills.
