The temperate zone (lower and middle cloud-forest zone) - 2000-3100 m (locally dif- fering 1700-2700/2800 m) - () This is located above the subtropical zone and forms a belt extending over a vertical di- stance of between 1000 m and 1100 m (, 3). It extends from an altitude of 2000 to 3100m in C Nepal and from 1700 to 2700/2800 m in E Nepal. The mean annual tempera- ture varies between 15°C at the lower limit and 8-9°C at the upper limit. The amounts of precipitation vary considerably depending on the exposure; far to the west there are in fact two dry seasons. Here, again, a distinction can be made between two levels, namely the (lower) hill region (lower cloud-forest zone, 2000 to 2500/2600 m) and the (upper) moun- tain region (middle cloud forest region, 2500/2600 to 3000 m). The hill region (2000-2600 m) is the most important distribution area of the evergreen oaks of the genus Quercus, 8 species of which can be found in Nepal alone. All of them have spread along the Himalayas from southern China. Also, there are other trees belonging to the Fagaceae, of the genera Lithocarpus () and Castanopsis, which dominate the fo- rest formations. In the hill region, many types of forest can be distinguished, mainly on the basis of the local amount of precipitation. Only a few of these can be mentioned here, and there are marked differences between W, C and E Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bonn, Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig
