  Formosa
Formosa should be classed among the recent continental islands, and also that, at the time of its connection with the mainland the ancestors of the Formosan, Indian, and Malayan forms were equally dispersed throughout the intervening and at that time undivided continent.
After the separation of Formosa and the Malayan islands the altered geological and climatological conditions were such as to cause the disappearance of many forms of animal life except in localities where the required conditions, such as dense forests or high mountain ranges, still remained.
Formosa thus acts as a sort of umbrella for the eastern coasts of China, and the winter and spring are, consequently, a period of almost uninterrupted sunshine in the latter region.
