28 INTRODUCTION. 



The following table has been drawn out for the 

 purpose of giving some idea (as good a one as the very 

 imperfect materials at present at our disposal will al- 

 low) of the general distribution of the British species 

 over the islands; and the species which have been 

 recorded as inhabiting Germany and Sweden (the most 

 northern country of which we have a Fauna), and 

 those of the islands in Mediterranean, have been added 

 in similar columns, for the purpose of comparison. 

 The first column indicates the species (marked No. 1 .) 

 which have been found in the neighbourhood, or 

 within a walk, of London : in this I have depended 

 on my own experience, and have also referred to 

 Mr. Daniel Cooper's list. 



The second indicates the species (similarly marked) 

 found in the south, or south-eastern, part of Eng- 

 land, including Kent and Dorsetshire, and the 

 intermediate counties : of these Montagu has given 

 many indications. 



No. 2. Those found in Guernsey, by Mr. Forbes. 

 The third, the species found in the south-west and 

 western part of our island : those marked 

 No. 1. are found in Cornwall, Devonshire, and S. 

 Wales. They are chiefly extracted from Mon- 

 tagu and Jeffreys. 

 No. 2. From Bristol and Wiltshire : these are 



marked from Miller and Montagu. 

 The fourth column, the species found in the eastern 

 part of England, as Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk: 

 these are marked from the lists of Sheppard, Paget, 

 and Bloxam. 



The fifth, those found in the north of England. 

 No. 1. Newcastle, by Mr. Alder. 

 ^o. 2. Berwickshire, by Dr. Johnston.
