Includes 30 species, of which 25 or 26 seem to be peculiar to the 
island. In the preliminary introduction, the author attempts to prove 
(1) that the first settlers arrived at a very early date, (2) the aboriginal 
fauna did not arrive all at once, but the colonization was spread over a 
lengthened period ; (3) the road by which the colonists travelled was not a 
continuous land-surface ; (4) the colonists came from the Palearctic Region.
