[The CENTROLEPIDEH are a small Order comprising four genera and about thirty 
species, nearly all Australian, with one in Eastern Asia and three or four in New 
Zealand and the extreme south of America. The REsTIAcEz, another Order not repre- 
sented within our limits, are more numerous, there being twenty genera and about 
230 species, for the greater part inhabiting South Africa and Australia, a very few 
New Zealand, one Cochinchina, and one only South America. |

Sixty-one genera, numbering between two and three thousand species, dispersed

species have been described ; but Bentham and Hooker estimate that there are barely 
2200.
