4. _Motacilla lugubris_ Pied Wagtail.

We find, that out of a total of 118 British Passeres there are:
32 species which range to North Africa and Central or East Asia.
25 species which range to Central or East Asia, but not to North
Africa.
43 species which range to North Africa and Western Asia.
6 species which range to North Africa, but not at all into Asia.
7 species which range to West Asia, but not to North Africa.
5 species which do not range out of Europe.
These figures agree essentially with those furnished by the mammalia, and
complete the demonstration that all the temperate portions of Asia and
North Africa must be added to Europe to form a natural zoological division
of the earth. We must also note how comparatively few of these overpass the
limits thus indicated; only seven species extending their range
occasionally into tropical or South Africa, eight into
