After Schulze. the geographic and ecologic sense is probably to be found among Protozoa, especially among the rhizopods. Thus Cyphoderia ampulla (Fig. 10) lives in the ocean, in salt-water marshes, in fresh water, in the sand of the seashore, in the springs and glacial lakes of mountains, and in the warm ponds of the lowlands. In addition to central Europe, this protozoan is recorded from the coast of the Arctic Ocean, from Russian Lapland, from the

In addition to central Europe, this protozoan is recorded from the coast of the Arctic Ocean, from Russian Lapland, from the Rocky Mountains, and from Argentina and Paraguay. The thistle butterfly (Pyrameis cardui) is an example of a widely distributed metazoan. It is known from all parts of the world with the exception of some small islands and of South America, ranging from the tropics to the arctic regions and from the plains to the snow line in the mountains. Animals found in all seas are the edible mussel (Mytilus edulis) and the thresher shark {Alopias vulpes). The importance of wide distribution is graded according to the gradations of the groups concerned. A wide range is much commoner for genera than for species; it is still more common for families and orders. The families of myriapods and scorpions, and very many families of insects, are cosmopolitan. Fresh-water fishes, amphibians,
