* Though usually found in the suh-alpine region, H. cerinthoidei occurs in 

 Aherdeenshire close to the sea level ; but as casual instances of this kind are 

 probably not un&equent in the North of Scotland^ with other " sub-alpine " 

 species also, they must be regarded rather as exceptional cases than as belonging 

 to the " Lowland Begion." 



t Though in a high latitude, the coast of Finmark has a comparatively mild 

 elimate, owing to the influence of the gulf stream.
