Group EBIOKOTABIA. 



This group— which was proposed (tut tea, p, 868) to include those genera whose species 

 possessed posterior win^.s more m- les* ronvrx and it Unit as broad :is ]on^ is probably 

 distributed wherever the family is found. 



As already stated, this division is only proposed as a ready means of" discrimination in the 

 study of this fauna. I have not presumed to advocate it as of universal application, and in 

 the words of Captain Cook, I do not wish, in this respect, 4i to go beyond soundings/'
