In order to compare the numerical relations of the animals of 

 single lands, we shall place together the Fauna of Greenland, 

 that of Wurtemberg^ and that of the vicinity of Nice, or of the 

 Maritime Alps. The animals of the Fauna of Greenland are 

 according to Fabricius's Fauna Gronlandica^ Hafniae, 1780 ;
