  Bonn, 
  Wiesbaden, 
  Pheingau, 
  Mayence, 
  Offenbach, 
  

   Mannheim, 
  Karlsruhe, 
  Freiburg), 
  and 
  a 
  few 
  west 
  

   of 
  the 
  Rhine 
  (neighbourhood 
  of 
  Kreuznach, 
  Neudorf 
  

   in 
  Alsatia, 
  and 
  Basle 
  in 
  Switzerland). 
  It 
  is 
  generally 
  

   distributed 
  in 
  Poland, 
  Silesia, 
  Prussia, 
  Mecklenburg, 
  

   Schleswig-Holstein, 
  Denmark, 
  Oland, 
  Gothland 
  Island, 
  

   and 
  Sweden, 
  as 
  far 
  north 
  as 
  Upsala, 
  but 
  only 
  found 
  in 
  

   two 
  localities 
  in 
  Southern 
  Norway 
  (Hof 
  in 
  Jarlsberg, 
  

   and 
  Hval 
  Oerne). 
  It 
  is 
  more 
  local 
  in 
  the 
  province 
  of 
  

   Saxony, 
  the 
  kingdom 
  of 
  Saxony 
  (Leipzig 
  and 
  Dresden), 
  

   and 
  in 
  Austria-Hungary, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  on 
  record 
  from 
  

   the 
  plains 
  of 
  Transylvania, 
  Budapest, 
  Pressburg, 
  

   Franz 
  Josefsland, 
  and 
  Marchfelcl 
  in 
  Lower 
  Austria, 
  

   Karlovac 
  in 
  Sclavonia, 
  Agram, 
  and 
  Fiume 
  in 
  Istria. 
  

  

  Its 
  distribution 
  in 
  Asia 
  is 
  not 
  yet 
  made 
  out 
  with 
  

   anything 
  like 
  precision, 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  it 
  has 
  

   so 
  long 
  been 
  confounded 
  with 
  R. 
  temporaria, 
  and 
  of 
  

   late 
  with 
  R. 
  camerani. 
  I 
  have 
  examined 
  specimens 
  

   from 
  Sarai 
  Gor, 
  on 
  the 
  Ob, 
  the 
  valley 
  of 
  Buchtarma, 
  

   Altai, 
  and 
  the 
  Kirghiz 
  Steppes, 
  and 
  Bedriaga 
  records 
  

   the 
  species 
  from 
  the 
  Karakali 
  Mountains. 
  The 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  from 
  Sultania 
  in 
  Persia, 
  and 
  Lake 
  Gokcha, 
  

   referred 
  to 
  this 
  species 
  by 
  de 
  Filippi, 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  

   following, 
  R. 
  camerani, 
  as 
  I 
  am 
  informed 
  by 
  my 
  friend 
  

   Dr. 
  de 
  Bedriaga, 
  who 
  has 
  examined 
  the 
  types 
  at 
  my 
  

   request. 
  

  

  The 
  three 
  specimens 
  figured 
  on 
  PI. 
  XVIII 
  are 
  

   from 
  Magdeburg, 
  received 
  from 
  my 
  obliging 
  corres- 
  

   pondent 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  Wolterstorff. 
  The 
  right-hand 
  figure 
  

   represents 
  a 
  male 
  in 
  breeding 
  costume, 
  the 
  two 
  others 
  

   are 
  taken 
  from 
  females.
