第四纪期间中国南北两大动物区系之间的过渡地带动物群

The transitional area between the South China and North China provinces of zoographical division of Quaternary mammalian faunas

中国第四纪期间的哺乳动物，可划分为南、北两大动物群，在两大动物群之间，存在过渡地带动物群。过渡地带的动物群，晚更新世的有河南新蔡、安徽五河戚咀及江苏武进；中更新世地点有安徽和县、巢县银山、河南南召及江苏南京汤山；早更新世地点有安徽巢县银山下部堆积、陕西蓝田公王岭及汉中盆地的勉县。裴文中（１９５７）首先提出淮河过渡区的存在，周明镇等认为不存在。事实上过渡地带的南、北混生动物群是存在的，过渡地带的范围大小及地点是随着地史的变迁而不断的变化。四不象鹿是过渡地带生活的一种特殊动物，而众多的古人类化石在过渡地带发现，也是这一地区的一个特色。

The Quaternary mammalian faunas in the transitional area between South China and North China include: Late Pleistocene faunas -Xincai and Wuhe of Jiangsu; Middle Pleistocene faunas-Hexian of Anhui, Chaoxian of Anhui, Nanzhao of Henan, Nanjing of Jiangsu; Early Pleistocene faunas-Chaoxian of Anhui, Hanzhong and Lantian of Shaanxi. Professor Pei Wenchung advanced the Huai River transitional province in 1957. This is a flew formulation, but Professor Zhou Mingzhen did not agree. In the transitional area existed transitional faunas of different ages: the transitional area yielded special element: Elaphurus davidianus. More human fossil sites from the transitional area were discovered. The transitional area wandered in Quaternary.
