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.
