GEOaEAPHICAL DISTEIBUTIOIs. 
been discovered in Western Africa. We have divided the region into three snbregions, 
Eastern, Southern, and Western Africa. For convenience sake, the division has been taken . 
solely on the distribution of this particular family, and may possibly not hold good with 
others, or with the general physical aspect; the country is too little known at present to 
enable any inferences to be drawn on this point. The western division includes the coast 
as far south as Congo ; the eastern division takes the coast-line as far south as Zanzibar; 
all below this is comprised in Southern Africa; and on the north they are bounded by the 
desert. The whole of the species found here are peculiar to this continent.

III The distribution of the American species will be sufficiently seen from the accom- 
panying Table, and requires no comment. In this region, only two genera are found, both 
of which seem to be spread over the entire limits.
