Summary

Two Devonian biogeographic provinces are recognised in China, based on brachiopod distribution. The Junggar-Xinan Province to the north shows a mixture of European and North American elements, but notably no stringocephalids are present. The South China Province, which is subdivided into three subprovinces possesses more elements of European type.
