^The characters of this form being intermediate between those of .1. linaria linaria 

 and A. linaria rostrata, it necessarily follows that intermediates or "intergrades" 

 between these two w'ould be practically indistinguishable from .1. I. Iiolbailii. Doubt- 

 less some of the specimens from the more eastern i^ortions of North America are 

 really not true A. I. holhellii, but with our present imperfect knowledge of the range 

 of the last it is scarcely possible to determine the ciuestion.
