Four types of preference were distinguished for classification of the species of small mammals of the Central Altay according to the similarity of distribution. A comparison of the resulting scheme with the previously published one allowed us to reveal differences in preferences of some species of insect-eaters and rodents. The table of animal distribution over height zones in the Central Altay province is presented, the abundance indices of small mammals in the northern, north-eastern Altay and in the West Siberian Plain are compared.
