the tribes is very different in the proportional importance of each. 
The following table, showing the number of species in each tribe 
and the proportional representation of each in the living American 
fauna (taken from Henshaw’s Catalogue of 1885 without attention 
to the supplements), in the American Tertiary deposits, and in 
the European Tertiary deposits, will set this forth with greater 
clearness than any descriptive statement.

Here it will readily be seen that the greatest and the only con- 
spicuous differences between the American and European Tertia- 
ries lie, on the one side, in the Cleonini which contain nearly one 
third of the Curculioninae of the European deposits and hardly 
*In this column the European species referred to Curculionites (fifteen in number) 
are not taken into account , since the tribes into which they may fall cannot be determined.
