Primates
The _Anthropoidea_, on the other hand, first appear in the Neotropical
Region, in the upper Eocene, but the age of the Santa Cruz formation, in
which the remains occur, has not yet been settled with certainty. In the
Eastern Hemisphere they appear in the Mid-Miocene, and continue through the
Pliocene, the Pleistocene and Recent deposits. As yet no remains have been
found in the Nearctic Region, where Lemuroid remains occur so abundantly.
{237}The subjoined tables indicate the number of species in each of the six
great Zoo-Geographical Regions, followed by others showing those peculiar
to, and those living and fossil in, the various sub-divisions of these
Regions:--
