Distribution of To enter further into detail concerning the dis-tribution of genera in the Palaearctic Region, we mayremark that the genus richest in specific forms isLycaeiia, which contains more than a hundred speciesbesides many constant varieties. It has representatives n almost every part of the Region, being representedin Britain by our ten species of Blues that form he largest generic group of British Butterflies. Next in order, as regards numerical strength, isErehia, of which, while we have only two species inBritain, E. aelhiops (Scotch argus), and E. cassiope(mountain ringlet), more than half of the Palaearcticspecies occur in the mountains of Europe, the rest. :a. c-:^sciencegossip0661lond
