It is well known that the migration of mammals chiefly occurred in the tertiary, starting vigorously in the Lower Eocene and continuing mildly till the Pleistocene. The Himalayan range began to be elevated as early as the Eocene. In the Miocene it must have acted as a formidable barrier to the free migration of mammals between India and C. Asia. However the migratory routes lay between Burma and China and through Baluchistan into Perisa. Intercommunication also took place between India and n. America and Mongolia.
