86 TERTIARY RHYNCHOPHOROUS COLEOPTERA. 
besides them two of those which are but feebly developed. The European 
fossils fall into the same tribes as the American, with the exception that two 
of the American tribes, the Anthonomini and Prionomerini, are absent; but 
though, singularly enough, the total number of species is exactly the same 
in the two countries, the distribution among the tribes is very different in 
the proportional importance of each. The following table, showing the 
number of species in each tribe and the porportional representation of each 
in the living American fauna (taken from Henshaw’s Catalogue of 1885, 
without attention to the supplements) in the American Tertiary deposits, 
and in the European Teritary deposits, will set this forth with greater clear- 
ness than any descriptive statement.

"In this column the European species referred to Curculionites (fifteen in number) are not taken into account, since 
the tribes into which they may fall can not be determined.
