* This is another instance showing, as Mr. Blanfoi-d has recently proved by 

 the distribution of Vertebrates, that Sind is a Pahvarctic province (see Phil. 

 Trans. Eoy. Soc. 1901, voh 194, p. 432). M. Oschanine with reference to 

 Hemiptera has also remarked : " II me parait probable que la faune de 

 I'extreme NO de I'lnde, e'est-a-dire celle du Siudh, doit etre adjointe a notre 

 region" (" Sur les Limitesetles Subdivisions de la Region palearcdque, basees 

 sur I'Etude de la Faune des Hemipteres," Congr. Zool. 1892, ii. p. 278).
