30 new species are described, and 1 new family and 4 new genera are 
defined. The author repeats his former suggestion that the small size, 
paucity of individuals, and ease with which most of the species of insular 
faunae are exterminated, are due to deficiencies in the assimilative and 
reproductive powers in small isolated communities, caused by the absence 
of interbreeding between slightly different races.
