  Three 
  of 
  these 
  therefore 
  will 
  have 
  to 
  take 
  rank 
  as 
  varieties 
  of 
  

   the 
  others, 
  iind 
  moiv 
  such 
  instances 
  will 
  doubtless 
  occur. 
  There 
  is 
  some 
  

   evidence 
  that 
  L. 
  Mormonum 
  was 
  the 
  sroologieal 
  proo-cnitor 
  of 
  the 
  forms 
  liviujf 
  

   near 
  the 
  coast, 
  in 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  a 
  variety, 
  nearly 
  intermediate 
  between 
  it 
  and 
  

   fiilclii. 
  occurs 
  at 
  the 
  l>;illes 
  of 
  the

   throusj'h

  Some 
  varieties 
  also 
  approach 
  

   quite
