Geographical Distribution.— Tlie range of tliis little-kuowu species 

 cannot be stated with any approacli to real accnracy or precision. 



An ancient form, as this is shown to be, and which its known habitat in 

 the monntains or within the recesses of jjine forests still further emphasizes, 

 lead ns to e.Kpect a much more extended distribirtion than lias hitherto 

 been recorded. 



It has, however, been re|iorted from Great Britain, France, Belginni, Ger- 

 many, Austro^Huusary, Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, 

 Finland, Russia, and Palestine, and is said ijy Held to be especially plentiful 

 in the Alps.
