Norr.—The Tropics include the Subtropies, and the Temperate zones include all extra- 
tropical regions. It is important to remember that the families are here treated in the 
mass, the small with the large. Practically all the great families would be represented 
in both the east and west hemispheres. The author has made a list of the principal 
families, those holding the largest number of genera and species. They number 
about 90, and at least 95 per cent. of them are found in both hemispheres. The 
distribution of families in the north and south hemispheres is also dealt with in 
different fashions in Tables VIIT., IX., X,
