Mr. H. Jenner Fust on the 



but is to be understood only as implying that the species 

 are apparently adapted to the climate of England, either 

 being restricted to that part of Britain, or being more 

 prevalent there than in Scotland. 



Scottish Type. — The same observations, mutatis 

 mutandis, apply to the " Scottish Type," the species 

 referred to which, although having their chief prevalence 

 in Scotland, still descend into England, although charac- 

 terized by increased rarity southwards. 



Germanic Type.— This name is not applied with refer- 

 ence to any supposed origin from Germany, but simply 

 as indicating the tendency of the species to a distribu- 

 tion connected with those provinces of England which 

 are bounded by the German or North Sea eastward, in- 

 eluding the Straits of Dover and upper part of the 

 English Channel. 



Atlantic Type. — The name of this type will be under- 

 stood as having reference only to the distribution of the 

 species referred to it within Britain itself, and by itself. 



It is especially to be remarked that no decided line of 

 separation can be drawn between these types ; they may 

 be said to pass gradually into each other, because the 

 distribution of some species is of such an intermediate 

 character as to render the choice of type to express it 

 either dubious or optional. 



For further information respecting* these " types of 

 distribution," see the " Cybele Britannica,'^ whence the 

 foregoing explanations have been drawn almost word for 

 word. 



The following is a summary of these types, doubtful 

 eases being reckoned under the types to which they are 

 doubtfully referred.
