HEMIPTERA— HETEROPTERA.

It will be noticed from the table that although the total number of species 

 in each fauna is approximately the same, the number of genera represented in 

 Fiji is far superior to that in Samoa, while there are twice as many Fijian genera 

 which do not occur in Samoa as there are Samoan which do not occur in Fiji. 



It would be unwise to draw definite conclusions from scanty material 

 accumulated during a few years of haphazard collecting, but on the whole the 

 table tends to show that the Samoan fauna is actually an impoverished replica 

 of that of Fiji. Specific endemism is, however, comparatively high, twenty- 

 eight out of the total of seventy species being apparently peculiar to Samoa, 

 while three endemic genera and one subgenus, also occur. 



The following table indicates the distribution of the Samoan species dealt 

 with in this paper : —
