It will be apparent from the above tables that, while the living
_Lemuroidea_ are confined to the Eastern Hemisphere, in past times some
genera were not only common to both Hemispheres, but the Order was equally
well, if not indeed better, represented in the New, than in the Old, World.
Among the _Anthropoidea_, on the other hand, then, as now, none of the
genera were common to both Hemispheres; and a large number of the genera,
which then existed, were identical with genera now living, to a greater
extent than among the _Lemuroidea_.
II. Tables to illustrate the distribution of the genera of Primates in
time, in the different Zoo-Geographical Regions into which the World has
been divided.
