The Sittid£e, or Nuthatches, are another small family of tree-<br />

creeping birds, whose distribution is very similar to that of the<br />

Certhiidae, but with a more uniform range over the Oriental<br />

region, and extending to New Zealand and Madagascar. The<br />

genera are as follows :<br />

—<br />

Sitta (17 sp.), Palsearctic and Nearctic regions to South India<br />

and Mexico ; Bendrophila (2 sp.), Ceylon and India to Burmah<br />

and Malaya ; Hypherpes (1 sp.), Madagascar ; Sittella (6 sp.),<br />

Australia and New Guinea. Acanthisitta (1 sp.) and Xenicus<br />

(4 sp.), New Zealand, are placed with some doubt in this family.<br />

Family 10.—PAEID^. (14 Genera, 92 Species.)
