The distinction between this class and the next is arbitrary, and the 

 classification has been governed by an estimate of probabilities in each 

 case. Nature had a long reign in Bermuda. Man and the animals 

 introduced by man have had a comparatively short period for modify- 

 ing its flora. It seems safer to suppose that plants like Guilandina 

 Bonducella or Sicyos angulatus, met with but once in a wild place and 

 a wild state, are truly native, than to infer from their rarity that they 

 have been introduced or have recently followed the footsteps of man. 



The species then regarded as exotic, althoygh completely naturalized, 

 and for the most part generall3^ diftused, that is to say, in the words of 

 Sir Joseph Ilooker, "species which have followed in the track of man 

 or animals introduced by him, and have thus become quasi-indigenous, 

 or naturalized,"* are 16G in number, distinguished by the letter B. The 



* Sir Joseph Hooker. Lecture on Insular Floras, delivered before the British Asso- 

 ciation for tbo Advancement of Science, at Nottingham, 186G.
