Abstract
THE subject which I now propose to discuss, is the purport and use, and therefore the essential nature, of what are termed zoological regions. This seems necessary because, although such regions have been more or less generally adopted for more than thirty years, there has of late grown up a conception as to their nature and purport which seems to me to be altogether erroneous, and which, if generally adopted, is calculated to lead to confusion, and to minimise, if not to destroy, whatever advantages may be derived from their use.
