Remarks on Geographical Distribution, id. pp. 470 & 471. 
1457 species (many new) are enumerated (not reckoning unexamined 
A leocharidcef oi w'hich. 17 are also found in the Antilles, 8 in Mexico 
and Texas, 4 in Texas, Arizona, and S. California, and 7 occur in South 
America. Two species occur also in San Domingo, and some N.E. Asian, 
African, and European genera are represented. The formation of 
Florida by the gradual growth of coral reefs in comparatively modern 
times, and their subsequent conversion into land surface, added to the 
interruption effected by the Gulf Stream, explains the small number of 
Antillean species. No points at the north-west or extreme south are 
represented in the collections forming the material of these papers.
