INTRODUCTION. 
 
 WHEN we review the great questions arising out of the geographical distribu¬ 
 tion of animals and plants, there can be no doubt whatsoever that the close inves¬ 
 tigation of any given area, however minute, must contribute materially, provided 
 its position be a significant one, to lighten the labours of those more comprehen¬ 
 sive naturalists who are able to wield, -with a master’s hand, the scanty data 
 gleaned by the humbler workers in the science to a practical account. And, since 
 it has been said that whatsoever falls within the sphere of knowledge is attached 
 to a radius and tends towards the centre, there is reason to hope that no am ount, 
 of truth, once fairly arrived at, will he eventually lost; hut that it will sooner or 
 later find its way into the central mass, to he employed, whensoever chance may 
 require it, for the general good. Hence it is that we are encouraged, in every 
 branch of observation, to register what we see; and to feel that the most trivial 
 facts, if faithfully recorded, may become the basis from whence the soundest 
 theories may arise,—such theories forsooth as have already arisen from the con¬ 
 templation of circumstances apparently beneath our notice, and which have grown 
 up, step by step, into trees of gigantic dimensions, to embrace at last large prin¬ 
 ciples within their shade. 
 
 Such being the case, I have ventured to hope that the examination of islands 
 even so small as those now under discussion may not have been altogether without 
 profit. The intermediate situation of Madeira, which, whilst pertaining artificially 
 to Europe, has nevertheless much in common with the north of Africa (from 
 which in distance it is the less remote), imparts to it an interest, the importance 
 of which the student of Zoological geography cannot fail at once to recognise: 
 and, if we scan the results arrived at in the following pages, we shall perceive that 
 there is positive ground for the belief that its Coleopterous fauna is, in a large 
 measure, of a very isolated type. Although partaking, in the main, of that par¬ 
 ticular stamp which is usually acknowledged as Mediterranean, yet the number ot 
 endemic species (and even of genera) would seem to be so gfeat, whilst the new 
 S modifications which have been brought to light are so extremely characteristic,

 and adjusted to the peculiar nature of the country in which they are placed, that 
 we cannot resist the conclusion that, whatever may have been the extent or con¬ 
 dition of that ancient continent of which these several Atlantic clusters are the 
 sure witnesses, that portion of it at any rate which the Madeiras may be supposed 
 to represent was not only singularly rich in creations adapted specially to itself, 
 but also that the various forms must have migrated but very slightly ere the land 
 of passage was destroyed,—seeing that many of them had apparently not even 
 reached those points of its area which are now the detached portions of the actual 
 group. That this is really a fact, we may appeal, inter alia, to such insects as the 
 Tarphii (only a single one of which, out of 15, occurs beyond Madeira proper), to 
 Argutor and Trechus (of the same island), to Acalles (of which 12 members, out 
 of 13, belong to the central mass), to the aberrant Atlantides and the Anemophili 
 (almost exclusively Porto Santan), or to Deucalion (which reigns supreme on the 
 nearly inaccessible heights of the two southern Dezertas). 
 
 Although it is of course possible that some few out of the 270 species, and even 
 of the 41 genera, which I have treated as novelties, may have been already made 
 known, yet I believe it will be found, on inspection, that such instances are rare; 
 whilst concerning the claims of the majority of them, being apparently of an 
 endemic nature, there cannot be the slightest doubt. In addition to these 270 
 species, there are 11 which had been previously characterized as Madeiran; thus 
 raising the entire number to 281,—which, out of 482, it must be admitted is a 
 large proportion to possess even the chance of being peculiar to these islands. The 
 genera of the present volume amount, in all, to 213 : one of these ( Cossyplioiles ) 
 had been lately described as Madeiran ; and 9 at least (namely Calobius, Dactylo- 
 sternum, Xenostrongylus, Metophthalmus, Microchondrus, Pecteropus, Deucalion, 
 Arthrolips and Macrostethus), out of the 41 which are indicated as new, I have 
 reason to suspect have exponents elsewhere, — which reduces the modifications 
 which may, or may not, be endemic (but the larger portion of which probably are) 
 to 34. Amongst these 34, perhaps the most remarkable are Zargus, Cossyphodes, 
 Europe, Aphan arthrum, Leipartlirum, Echinosoma, Xenorchestes, Glceosoma, and 
 Ellipsodes. 
 
 It null be seen, on a reference to the Systematic Catalogue of this work, that the 
 total absence of numerous genera (and even of whole families) which are looked 
 upon as all but universal, constitutes one of the most striking features in our 
 entomological fauna. Thus, incredible though it may seem, not so much as a 
 solitary witness of the Cicindelidce, Euprestidce or Pselaphidce has hitherto been 
 brought to light; whilst the great genera Carabus*, Nebria*, Silplia, Necro- 
 
 * In Dejean’s Catalogue there is a Carabus registered as Madeiran, under the name of C. interrupt us ; 
 and a Nebria under that of N. dilatata : but, as no vestige of either one genus or the other has conic 
 beneath my notice, and since they have totally escaped the researches of the Eev. It. T. Lowe for a period 
 of twenty-six years, as also of the late Dr. Heinecken and of every other naturalist (so far as I am aware) 
 subsequently ; 1 have not the slightest hesitation in pronouncing Dejean’s insects (whatsoever they were)

 phorus, Cetonia, Telephorus, Tentyria, Pimelia, Acis, Asida and Otiorhynchus are 
 altogether wanting. The vast race of the Thaleropliagous Lamellicorns {vid. p. 235), 
 as also the immense department of the Elateridcc {vid. p. 239), are represented 
 apparently by but a single form,—as are also the Silphidcc, Telephoridce, Tenty- 
 riadcc, and the (Edemeridce. 
 
 Of the 13 primary sections into which I have distributed the entire Coleoptera, 
 the Rhyncophora contains the largest amount of species, and the Eucerata the 
 smallest. Arranged numerically, they are as follows : Rhyncophora (104), Necro- 
 phaga (80), Geodephaga (G3), Brachelytra (74), Priocerata (35), Atrachelia (29), 
 Cordylocerata (22), Phytopliaga (21), Pseudotrimera (17), Philhydrida (13), Tra- 
 chclia (11), Hydradephaga (7), Eucerata (6). Now there is an anomaly in these 
 proportions, which it is not easy, at first sight, to account for,—namely, that, 
 whilst Madeira is essentially a land of wood and streams, the Longicorns and 
 Water-beetles should be the least shadowed forth of the whole. As regards the 
 tatter of these, however, the deficiency is not difficult to understand,—the rapid 
 nature of the rivers, which are liable to sudden inundations from the mountains, 
 and to deposit their contents in positions distant from their banks, or to pour in 
 ceaseless torrents over the perpendicular faces of the rocks, being anything but 
 favourable to insect life. 
 
 Of the 56 families which enter our lists, the Curculionidce, Staphylmida and 
 Carabidce (as might be expected) take the lead,—the first numbering 80 species, 
 the second 73, and the third 63. The next, in point of extent, is the Colydiadce , 
 —wffiich contains 19. The Galerucidts has 13; the Lathridiadce and Coccmellidce 
 12; the Aphodiadce 10; the Melyridce 7; the Dytiscidce, Histeridce and Ceram- 
 bicidce 6; the Chrysomelidce 4, and the Scydnicenidce 1. 
 
 Of the genera with which we have here to do, Tarphius and Homalota (each of 
 which have 15 representatives) rank first. Then comes Atlantis (which has 14); 
 Acalles (13); Ptmus (10); Trechus and llelops (9); Bembidivm and Lcemo- 
 phlceus (8); Caulotrupis, Apion and Philonthus (7); JDromms, Corticaria, Aplw- 
 
 dius, Longitarsus and Scymnus (6); Lixus, Sitona, Psylliodes, Coccinella and 
 Oxytelus (5), &c. 
 
 In glancing over oiu‘ catalogue, we shall be struck, apart from the dearth in the 
 Hydradephaga and Eucerata (already commented upon), by the great scarcity of 
 the flower-infesting tribes,—which, in a country like Madeira, where vegetation 
 is redundant, is not a little extraordinary. Thus, to take the various families, in 
 succession, which may be considered as par excellence falling under that denomi- 
 
 to have been incorrectly referred (as was also, I imagine, his Melancrus Amaroides) to the islands of our 
 present group. They may possibly have been Canarian, or (which is more likely still) from the Azores ; 
 but until further evidence than that of a mere Catalogue (formed in another coimtry, and subjected to 
 all the chances of uncertain information) be supplied, I confess I shah not be inclined to regard them as 
 otherwise than apocryphal.

 nation, we find that the Phalacridce are attested by 4 Olibri ; the entire Thalero- 
 phagous Lamellicorns by a single Chasmatopterus ; the Telephoi idee by an insig¬ 
 nificant Malthodes ; the Melyridce (which is the best indicated of the whole) by 
 7 species (contained in 5 different genera); the CleridcB by an Opilus and a 
 Necrobia (the last of which is unquestionably naturalized); the Mordellidcc by a 
 solitary Anaspis ; the (Edemeridce by a Stenaxis ; and the C> loco ulcc by a Lana 
 and a Crioceris (of which the latter, if not the former also, has been imported 
 from Europe). 
 
 Two of the principal features observable throughout the Coleoptera of these 
 islands, are the general obscureness of colouring (gay tints being exceedingly rare) 
 and the apterous tendency. As regards the second of these, so strongly is it 
 expressed, that, out of the 482 species hitherto detected, 178 are either altogether 
 apterous, or else have their wings so imperfectly developed that they may he prac¬ 
 tically considered as such. About 8G moreover (out of the 482) may, I imagine, 
 have been accidentally introduced from other countries; and, as these belong well 
 nigh exclusively to the winged forms, the winged species which are in all probabi¬ 
 lity truly indigenous are diminished to 218, — thus exceeding by only 40 those 
 which are either apterous or nearly so. Numerous genera indeed (as Tarns, 
 Loricera, Calathus, Olisthopus, Argutor, Trechus, Hydro'bius. &c.) which are 
 commonly winged are here almost invariably apterous : whilst of the converse [i. e. 
 of insects which have their wings ample, although in other countries they are 
 usually obsolete) there is, I believe, but a single instance,—namely Pristonychus 
 (concerning which, vide p. 218). As a corollary arising out of this peculiarity, we 
 should a priori be led to anticipate that a large section of the Madeiran Coleoptera 
 would be of a very local character, — since, where the means of self-dispersion are 
 reduced below the ordinary standard, a widely-acquired range is of course next to 
 impossible. And such, on investigation, we find to be the case,—as a glance, in 
 fact, at the Topographical Tables null abundantly convince. 
 
 Respecting the proportions which the several islands bear to each other, in the 
 number of species observed upon them, the great difficulties attending even a tem¬ 
 porary sojourn out of Madeira proper should be borne in mind, as serving to 
 explain in some measure the impediments which surround us in arriving at any 
 positive data on the subject. Independently however of this, the immense super¬ 
 ficies of the central mass as contrasted with the satellites of the group,—containing 
 as it does about ten times the area of Porto Santo (which last is, in its turn, 
 gigantic when compared with the barren rocks of the Dezertas), and not only 
 abounding in wood and water, but rising to nearly four times the height, — must 
 naturally give it an enormous preponderance in the fauna of the entire region. 
 Still, having (at three different periods of the year) resided for more than a month 
 in Porto Santo, for the sole purpose of research, and having twice encamped for a 
 week (in the winter and summer) on the Dczcrta Grande, as well as on the llheo 
 Chao, I believe that I am at any rate in a position to give some sort of an opinion

 on tliis intricate question : and to any person who has a practical knowledge of the 
 localities themselves, I think that the following numbers (unequal as they are) 
 will not appear to be inconsistent with the opposite dimensions and aspects of the 
 various portions of the cluster to which they respectively refer. Thus, in Madeira 
 proper I have (up to the present period) ascertained 432 species to have occurred, 
 in Porto Santo 111, on the Dezerta Grande 57, on the Northern Dezerta (or Ilheo 
 Chao) lo, and on the Southern Dezerta (or Ilheo Bugio) 4. Or, if we choose to 
 regard the Dezertas as one, the group will separate itself into three natural divi¬ 
 sions ; and we shall have for Madeira proper 432, for the Dezertas 61, and for 
 Porto Santo 111. Of the 61 species which I have found on the Dezertas, 44 have 
 been detected in Madeira and 29 in Porto Santo. The species which (so far as I 
 have been able to ascertain) are peculiar to Madeira proper are 340, to Porto 
 Santo 32, to the Dezerta Grande 6, to the Ilheo Chao 3, and to the Ilheo Bugio 0. 
 
 The only insects of the existence of which I have been enabled to satisfy myself 
 for certain on every island are the Scarites abbreviatus and the Laparocerus morio ; 
 nevertheless I am all hut convinced that the Calathus complanatm, Harpalus 
 vividus and the Hadrus cinerascens (if we consider the II. illotus as its Porto 
 Santan analogue) are equally universal: whilst, at the same time, they may be 
 regarded, in conjunction with the Tarns lineatus, Dromins obscuroguttatns , 
 Olisthopus Maderensis , Omias ventrosus, Helops Pluto and confertus, and the 
 Ant Incus tristis, as amongst the species which are the most abundant individually 
 of all with which we are concerned. 
 
 Taking a cursory view of the Coleoptera here described, the fauna may perhaps 
 he pronounced as having a greater affinity with that of Sicily than of any other 
 country which has been hitherto properly investigated. Apart from the large 
 number of our genera (and even species) which are diffused over more or less of 
 the entire Mediterranean basin, this is especially evinced in some of the most cha¬ 
 racteristic forms,—such as Apotomits, Xenostrongylus, Tarphius, Cholovocera, IIolo- 
 paramecus, Berginus, Litargus, Thorictus and Boromorphus. There is moreover, 
 strange though it may appear to be, some slight (though decided) collective assi¬ 
 milation with what we observe in the south-western extremity of our own country 
 and of Ireland,—nearly all the species which are common to Madeira and the 
 British Isles being found in those particular regions; whilst one point of coin¬ 
 cidence at any rate, and of a very remarkable nature, has been fully discussed 
 (vid. p. 320) under Mesites. Whether or not this partial parallelism may be 
 employed to further Professor E. Forbes’s theory of the quondam approximation, 
 by means of a continuous land, of the Kerry and Gallician hills, and of a huge 
 miocene continent extending beyond the Azores, and including all these Atlantic 
 clusters within its embrace, I will not venture to suggest: nevertheless it is im¬ 
 possible to deny that, so far as the Madeiras betoken, everything would go to 
 favour this grand and comprehensive idea. Partaking in the amain of a Mediter¬ 
 ranean fauna, the northern tendency of which is in the evident -direction of the

 south-western portions of England and Ireland, and with a profusion of endemic 
 modifications of its own (hearing witness to the engorgement of this ancient tract 
 with centres of radiation created expressly for itself;, whilst geology proclaims the 
 fact that subsidences on a stupendous scale have taken place, by which means the 
 ocean groups were constituted; we seem to trace out on every side records of the 
 past, and to catch the glimpses as it were of a veritable Atlantis from beneath the 
 waves of time,—being well nigh tempted to inquire, 
 
 “ And thou, fairest Isle 
 In the daylight’s smile, 
 
 Hast thou sunk in the boiling ocean, 
 
 While beyond thy strand 
 Rose a mightier land 
 From the wave in alternate motion? 
 
 “ Are the isles that stud 
 The Atlantic flood 
 
 But the peaks of thy tallest mountains, 
 
 While repose below 
 The great waters’ flow 
 Thy towns and thy towers and fountains ? 
 
 “ Have the ocean powers 
 Made their quiet bowers 
 In thy fanes and thy dim recesses ? 
 
 Or, in haunts of thine 
 Do the sea-maids twine 
 Coral wreaths for their dewy tresses ? 
 
 “ But we know not where, 
 
 ’Neath the desert air, 
 
 To look for the pleasant places 
 Of the youth of Time, 
 
 Whose austerer prime 
 The haunts of his childhood effaces.” 
 
 Regarding the arrangement which I have adopted, I would especially advert to 
 the great assistance which I have derived from Mr. Westwood’s admirable Intro¬ 
 duction to the Modern Classification of Insects, —a work the merit of which it is 
 difficult to overrate, and far surpassing every other in our own country (if not 
 elsewhere also), in a systematic point of view, for the sound impressions which it 
 conveys, and for the masterly manner in which the subject has been treated as a 
 whole. It is a comparatively easy task to single out any one family or depart¬ 
 ment, and to propound new doctrines on the collocation, inter se, of the various 
 fragments which unite in composing it; but to weigh the problem m extenso, to 
 balance the difficulties of conflicting methods from beginning to end, and to extract

 as far as may be possible the good from all (rejecting both what is superfluous and 
 bad), is indeed a Gordian knot requiring a Solon to untie. And, whilst numerous 
 portions have been subsequently taken in hand by others, and have here and there 
 been modified (for better or worse), the general plan which Mr. Westwood has 
 selected does still seem to offer (when contemplated in the mass) the fewest objec¬ 
 tions, so far as I am able to judge, of any which has been hitherto proposed. I 
 would mention this, not because I have altogether followed in his wake,—having 
 departed from it in many (perhaps too many) instances, —but simply by reason of 
 the fact that, having made his volume my text-book ab initio, most of my ideas 
 on the subject (and many even of the changes suggested) have arisen from a study 
 of its contents: and, although I have not chosen to consider myself as bound 
 implicitly to any particular author, yet I think it due to Mr. Westwood to 
 affirm that my method of arrangement has been in a very large measure moulded 
 out of his. 
 
 Tlie 13 primary sections which I have made use of are those adopted by Mr. 
 Westwood; nevertheless I have both transposed and inverted them, according as 
 I have deemed it desirable (or where newly-discovered links rendered it necessary) 
 to bring certain groups, formerly far asunder, into juxtaposition. Such has been 
 the case with the Cissidce and Tomici, —a proceeding which, on account of the 
 close affinity of the latter with the Cossonides, rendered the inversion of the Hhyn- 
 cophora absolutely necessary. Then, the removal of the Brachelytra (from the 
 Pentamerous departments) to the end,—a step which, after much reflection, I 
 have thought it advantageous, even on its own account, to take,—has had the 
 happy effect of bringing Antlirenus (of the Dermestidce) into direct contact with 
 the Byrrhi , with which it has so much in common; whilst I have ventured to 
 employ the Scydmcenidce (although not actually Brachelytrous) to effect a passage 
 from Antliicus to the Pselaphi (which apparently however have no exponent in 
 the Madeira Islands), and from thence (through Falagria) into the Staphylinidce. 
 The Troyositidee I have preferred to treat as a distinct family, and (for reasons 
 stated at page 154) as more akin to the Cucujidce than to the Nitidulidce, —with 
 which it is now usually associated. The location of the Anisotomidee may perhaps 
 require some apology; and I may add that I am not prepared to defend the 
 situation which I have assigned to it as of necessity the most natural one. I do, 
 rather, in fact regard it as in reality Necrophagous, and would not willingly 
 disturb the position (near to the Silphidcc) which it is generally supposed to 
 occupy: still, the difficulty has been felt (vid. p. 484) of disconnecting it from the 
 Clypeastres ; and since these latter are almost universally acknowledged as insepa¬ 
 rable from the PseudotHmera (an hypothesis however which I am by no means 
 inclined to accept as capable of positive demonstration, though I have tacitly 
 endorsed it in the present volume), I have to a certain degree been coerced, con¬ 
 trary to my inclinations, in regulating its site. * 
 
 It may perhaps be objected that I have sometimes been over-minute in de- 
 
s 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 scribing my localities, ancl in recording- the precise circumstances under which 
 many of the species were observed. And indeed, had I employed myself in 
 writing for the scientific world only, far removed from the scene of action, there 
 would have been considerable force in the accusation, — for it can clearly matter 
 but little to the universal collector to know even what island his specimens are 
 peculiar to (and, therefore, a fortiori, the exact spot in that island), so long as he 
 be fully convinced that they have come from our present Group. But let it be 
 remembered that one of my principal designs in the following pages has been, not 
 only to afford a complete catalogue, to the general naturalist, of Madeiran Coleo- 
 ptera, but also to put into the hands of the sojourner there for a short period (of 
 which there are several hundreds every winter from England alone, independently 
 of those from other countries) a full and intelligible account of the actual stations 
 in which he will probably be able to procure the several insects required. By this 
 means, indeed, I am emboldened to hope that my researches may be turned to 
 some practical account for the amusement of that unfortunate class of wanderers 
 whose lot it is to submit, year after year, to an eight months’ exile in Eunchal. 
 For, plainly, to point out one way (be it but one) in which even a few stray minds 
 may find an ample field to sport in during a banishment under emergences not 
 the most enviable, is a boon which ought not (for the sake of a useless brevity) to 
 be overlooked, in dealing with a subject thus voluntarily undertaken (however 
 small it be, and imperfectly performed) for the general good. 
 
 And to those who are resident (as occasionally happens) for a longer season than 
 that which is ordinarily appointed for invalids, and who have health and strength 
 sufficient to tempt them beyond the limits within which the more cautious adven¬ 
 turers are permitted to roam, I would add a few words, ere I close these desultory 
 remarks, on the pleasures of a Tent-life. 
 
 It will doubtless seem an insignificant thing, when contemplated here, to inves¬ 
 tigate thoroughly such islands as those which we are now discussing. But the 
 rambler in situ, who knows the difficulties attending even a single journey to the 
 interior, and the almost physical impossiblity of visiting many localities except 
 under the most auspicious circumstances and at particular times, and who has 
 persevered in vain to reach distant rocks, and failed again and again in his efforts 
 to obtain a landing on their inhospitable shores, he alone is in a position to under¬ 
 stand aright the numerous obstacles which are likely to intercept his progress. 
 Yet such impediments, when surmounted, only go to increase the satisfaction 
 derived from the object attained, and give to the explorer who has succeeded in 
 overcoming them an additional delight. 
 
 The admirer of Nature who has passed a long winter at the mountains’ base, 
 contented merely to gaze upon the towering peaks, which, though clear and cold 
 at night, seldom reveal themselves during the day with sufficient constancy 
 (through the heavy canopy of cloud which hangs around them) to warrant an 
 ascent, hails with unbounded joy the advance of spring, — knowing that the time is

 at hand when he will be able to revel at large in this Atlantic paradise, in remote 
 spots seldom visited by strangers, and at altitudes where the fierce elements of 
 winter shall give way at last to perpetual sunshine and the fresh breezes of a 
 calmer sea. There is something amazingly luxurious in betaking oneself to Tent- 
 life, after months of confinement and annoyance (it may he entirely,— 'partially 
 it must be) in the heat and noise of Funchal. We are then perhaps more than 
 ever open to the favourable impressions of an alpine existence;—and who can 
 adequately tell the ecstasy of a first encampment on these invigorating hills! To 
 turn out, morning after morning, in the solemn stillness of aerial forests,—where 
 not a sound is heard, save ever and anon a woodman’s axe in some far-off tributary 
 favine, or a stray bird hymning forth its matin song to the ascending sun; to feel 
 the cool influence of the early dawn on the upland sward, and to mark the thin 
 clouds of fleecy snow uniting gradually into a solid bank,—affording glimpses the 
 while, as they join and separate, of the fair creation stretched out beneath; to 
 smell the damp, cold vapour rising from the deep defiles around us, where vegeta¬ 
 tion is still rampant on primaeval rocks and new generations of trees are springing 
 up, untouched by man, from the decaying carcases of the old ones ; to listen in the 
 still, calm evening air to the humming of the insect world (the most active tenants 
 of these elevated tracts); and to mark, as the daylight wanes, the unnumbered 
 orbs of night stealing one by one on to the -wide arch of heaven, as brilliant as 
 they were on the first evening of their birth ;—are the lofty enjoyments, all, which 
 the intellectual mind can grasp in these transcendent heights. 
 
 It is needless however to pursue the picture further, for it is impossible to do 
 justice to what experience alone can enable us to appreciate. And let not any 
 one suppose that the varied objects and scenes of novelty which administer to our 
 superior feelings, and charm the eye, in these upland solitudes are adapted only to 
 the scrutiny of a naturalist, and are either beneath the notice of, or else cannot 
 be sufficiently entered into by the general mass,—for such is by no means the 
 case. A single trial, we are convinced, will be more than enough to prove the 
 reverse, provided the adventurer be not altogether insensible to perceptions from 
 without, or incurious as to the workings of the external universe around him. 
 This however, we need scarcely add, is a sine qua non, —for it has been well said 
 that “ he who wondereth at nothing hath no capabilities of bliss; but he that 
 scrutinizeth trifles hath a store of pleasure to his hand: and happy and wise is the 
 man to whose mind a trifle existeth not” 
 
 The great expense necessarily attending the publication of a work like the 
 present one will be a sufficient guarantee that it has been undertaken purely as a 
 “ labour of love,” and with the sole aim (within its prescribed limits) of arriving 
 at the truth. How far I have succeeded in this is a problem which must be 
 solved by others : meanwhile I appeal boldly to observation, m situ, as the test by 
 which I would most desire to be judged,—having but little fea* of the experiment, 
 and believing that we are never in so favourable a position for deciding on the

 relative importance of Zoological differences as when the looal circumstances con¬ 
 nected with them are taken into account. Where I have overlooked facts, or 
 failed in my conclusions concerning them, I must crave that indulgence which is 
 never denied to the honest inquirer even in a field so small as that throughout 
 which my researches have been prosecuted,—researches which I am well aware 
 can at the best add hut an iota to our knowledge,
