 in the two countries, the distrilmtiou among- the tribes is ver\' diffei'ent in 

 the proportional importance f)f each. The following table, showing the 

 number of species in each tribe and the porportional representation of each 

 in the living American fauna (taken from ITenshaw's ( 'atalogue of IS.So, 

 without attention to the siij)plemeiits) in the American Tertiary deposits, 

 and in the European Teritarv deposits, will set this forth with greater clear-
