The President also made reference to other groups 
forming the invertebrate fauna of the Islands, more 
especially so to the orders Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera,

related to the African forms, of which the genus 
Xylocopa may be taken as an example. The birds, with | 
one or two exceptions, were also distinctly European, 
and nearly all the species were represented in the 
British Isles.
