1 Kleinschmidt (Berajah, 1916, pp. 42, 46) has described two European forms 
which I am unable to distinguish, viz.: F. peregrinus rhenanus from the Rhine 
Valley, and F. peregrinus scandinavie from Sweden. His F. peregrinus leucogenys 
(t. c., p. 54, 1917) is, I think, a synonym of calidus, and his F. peregrinus germanicus 
(t. c., p. 61, 1918) also seems inseparable from the typical form.
