from the larger island of which (known as the Great Salvage) it has 

 on several occasions been received by the Baron Paiva.

Habitat Canarienses (Can.), in montibus excelsis hinc inde vulgaris. 



Detected hitherto only on the mountains of Grand Canary, where 

 it would seem to represent in that island the C. micans of Teneriffe 

 and Gomera, and the solitarius of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. 

 During April 1858 I met with it in abundance in one of the lofty 

 Finals in the central district of Tarajana.

This seems to be the common Cratognathus in Teneriffe and Gomera, 

 where it abounds in certain (usually exposed) places of intermediate 

 and (more especially) rather low altitudes, assuming a slightly dif- 

 ferent aspect in each of those islands.

 Habitat Canarienses (6rora.), a DD. Crotch nuper deprehensus. 



Detected in Gomera by the Messrs. Crotch during their late Cana- 

 rian campaign namely, at the base of the cataract (about 2000 feet 

 above the sea) in the sylvan district above Hermigua. It is very 

 closely allied to the C. micans; nevertheless I have stated in the 

 Appendix to this volume what the exact characters are which seem 

 to separate it from both states (the Teneriffan and Gomeran ones) 

 of that species.
