Introductory Remarks. 



While I was preparing the following paper it was suggested 

 to me that I should include the northern portions of Scandi- 

 navia and Finland, as well as Iceland, Spitzbergen, and Novaja 

 Zemlja, as then the distribution of species in the whole of the 

 portions of the Western Palsearctic region north of 64° 30' N. 

 lat., as far as recorded, would be shown in one tabular view. 



I have given the matter due consideration ; and although I 

 have at hand most of the materials necessary for such a com- 

 parison, I have come to the conclusion that the more satis-

 and southern, as well as the western and eastern, distri- 

 bution. 



It was, again, suggested to me that I should confine my
