Now I would wish tkis list to be very carefully scrutinized, because I am satisfied tkat tkere is not a single species amongst the wkole 57 wkich kas tke sligktest claim to be regarded as primevally St.-Helenian ; indeed, tke majority of tkem are well-nigk cosmopo- litan, following in tke track of man, and suck as figure in tke fauna of nearly every civilized country, and we may tkerefore safely remove tkem from tke general catalogue. Let us consequently do tkis, and tken see wketker tke relative proportions of tke various departments (as represented by the 146 species which remain) are affected to any considerable extent.
