The author's view of geographical distribution indicates a somewhat different
original arrangement of land and water from that usually accepted.
He considers that all Coleoptera in the world are referable to one or other of
three great stirpes, which, in his opinion, sprung from one stirps, and have
acquired distinguishing features by long isolation and changes in condition of
life. These three stirpes are:—1, the Lido-African; 2, the Brazilian; and,
8, the ' microtypal' (so termed on account of its not containing such large or
conspicuous insects as the others, and of which the English fauna and flora
are stated to be standard types). The Indo-African stirps inhabits Africa
south of the Sahara, India and China south of the Himalayas, the Malayan
district, the Lidian archipelago, and the New Guinea group, and is less modified
by foreign elements than the next stirps. The Brazilian stirps inhabits
