414 RIKARD STERNER 



almost the whole of S. and M. Russia. On the other hand, the species nowadays 

 seems to be observed very seldom. Perhaps the older statements concern finds of fossil 

 nuts or cultivated specimens. Accord, to 53 the species occurs in several places in 

 the basin of the Dnjepr at Minsk, Mogil. (Komel), Volh., Kiev, and Chernig. I have 

 also seen more recent reports from Khark. : the neighbourhood of Koupjansk (8), 

 Taurida: at the mouth of the Dnjepr (54), Pensa: Syri (74), in the Lower Volga (85), 

 Courl.: in the Lake Klauzan, S. of Jacobstadt (Lehmann, Kupffer etc.). — From SE. 

 Europe the species extends its area westwards with scattered occurr. in S. and C. 

 Europe, reaching in W. to C. France: the depart, of Maine-et-Loire and Sarthe. In 

 these regions, however, it may often be cultivated or a relic of former cultivation. See, 

 especially as to the Swed. distrib., Malmstrom 1920 and the publications cited in this 

 paper. — D. T. [I: 4].
