The third column of the list contains figures which 
denote the months in which the species in question blossoms, 
3 stands for March, 4 for April, 5 for May etc. 
The last column contains information as to the distri- 
bution of the species outwith the Transcaspian plain; with 
this, however, is here included the Balkash basin (see p. 4) 
while Fergana is excluded. H means High-Asia, that is the 
mountainous parts towards the East from Hindokush and 
Pamir to Dsungaria and farther East. R means Russia, 
including the Kirghiz-steppe and Siberia, and V means 
Western Asia (Asia Minor Persia etc.) and the countries of 
the Mediterranean. E means endemic. 
The asterisks have the following signification: V* means 
that the species is distributed towards the South to Syria 
and Palestine (Post), R* that the species is distributed 
towards the North as far as Yekaterinoslaw (BEKETOFF), H* 
that the species occurs in Pamir (O. FEDTSCHENKO). 
The distribution of the species will be further referred 
to in Section 4.
