Canary IsLANnpDs: Fuerteventura’ near a Burchard.

and unattractiveness, consequent on lower altitude and more arid 
climate. It is not surprising, ‘Deaaclote. that an occasional new species 
is found in these islands, and still more might be brought to light by 
a thorough investigation during a whole season,
