GENERAL INDEX 



Note. Several subjects are worked up in this index, which, on account of the plan 

 of the book, are not dealt with connectedly in the text. As examples may be cited the 

 entries under the heads of " Hawaiian Flora" ; " Species, their development" ; " Fruit- 

 pigeons " ; " Polymorphous Species " ; &c. 



The figures in larger type indicate the pages where the subject is treated at length or 

 where the most important points are discussed. This sign is not often used where the 

 references can be classed, or where several references of importance belong to the same 

 subject.
