The avifauna is not depauperate owing to the exclusion of any one of the three major zoogeographic stocks thought to be important in the development of the present North American avifauna (Mayr, 1946).
Owing to the comparatively scanty number of harmful mammalian types, the birds play a considerable part in this large region, and some authorities consider its avifauna the richest in the world.
Further on this subject we must not go; we can only state that Godman has shown good reason for declaring that the avifauna of all these islands is the effect of colonization extending over a long period of years, and going on now.
Some of the similarities to the Ethiopian and the great differences from the Australian avifauna have already been pointed out.
The differences between the Neotropical avifauna and that of North America are fundamental and prove the independence or superior value of the Neotropical region as one of the principal realms.
A similarly mixedavifauna has been found in the mid-Miocene beds of various other parts of France, Germany and Italy.
The main affinities of the avifauna are, of course, Australian.
The nature of the South American avifauna will perhaps become still more evident if we arrange the characteristic members as follows:-- 1.
On the whole its avifauna presents some very remarkable features.
Here may be interpolated a short account of the very peculiar avifauna found in the Tertiary strata of Santa Cruz in Patagonia.
Arbitrary grouping of the members of an avifauna is only for general convenience; many species are represented in more than one group.
The avifauna of the different islands is, as might be expected, of a similar character to, and differs very little, if at all, from that of the adjoining part of the mainland of Australia.
The Rhea is, above all other birds, a most characteristic representative of the Avifauna of the Patagonian subregion.
Within the limits assigned to the present work forty-six species of his group are already known to occur, and it is probable that this number will be somewhat increased when the Argentine avifauna is thoroughly worked out.
