As to the flora of Radoboj, Professor Heer writes in the work just quoted (p. 96): “Les plantes de la zône tempérée sont représentées plus fortement qu’à Sotzka,” and of the latter place he says (p. 95), after speaking of types of the temperate zone: “Cependant ces espèces se trouvent fort à l’arrière-plan en comparison des formes tropicales et subtropicales, parmi lesquelles prédominent … les formes indo-australiens; néanmoins les formes américains, loin d’y faire défaut, sont représentées par des types assez nombreux et nettement accusés.” As a whole, therefore, the affinities of the tertiary butterflies seem to be precisely what we should have anticipated from a study of the vegetation of the period. We close this portion of our subject with a tabular view of the results we have reached in considering the affinities of the tertiary butterflies with living types, in which the countries, where the living allies of the fossil forms are now found, are placed in the right-hand columns according to the degree of affinity of their inhabitants to the tertiary species against which they are placed. +--------+------------+------------------------------------------------+ | | | DEGREE OF AFFINITIES. | | |NAMES OF +--------------+------------+----------+---------+ | |BUTTERFLIES.| FIRST | SECOND | THIRD | FOURTH | | | | DEGREE. | DEGREE. | DEGREE. | DEGREE. | | +------------+--------------+------------+----------+---------+ | |Neorinopis |Indo-Malayan. | Austro- | |S. | | |sepulta. | | Malayan. | |American.| | +------------+--------------+------------+----------+---------+ | Aix— |Lethites |Indo-Malayan. | | |North | | Upper |Reynesii. | | | |temperate| |Eocene. | | | | |Zone. | | +------------+--------------+------------+----------+---------+ | |Coliates |Indo-Malayan. | |Austro- | | | |Proserpina. | | |Malayan. | | | +------------+--------------+------------+----------+---------+ | |Thaites |Mediterranean.|Chinese and Australian,| | | |Ruminiana. | | Subarctic and Alpine. | | | +------------+--------------+------------+----------+---------+ | |Pamphilites | Tropical | | |Indo- | | |abdita. | America. | | |Malayan. | +========+============+==============+============+==========+=========+ | | | | | | | | Rott— |Thanatites | Subtropical | North | | | | lower |vetula. | North | temperate | | |
