seas were taken. The averagenumber of species per genus is also not unequal (islands1582/3461, average 2-1; Brazil 533/1291, average 2-4). The endemics of mountains are also as a rule small genera,though there are a fair number of exceptions to this, but onlyin the large mountain chains. In the Andes, for example, thereare Chaetanthera (30 species), Cinchona (40), Cristaria (30), Nas-sauvia (50), Psammisia (35), Puya (25), and many more ofsmaller size. One may go on to deal with still larger floras, and find thatthey are arranged in precisely the same way, so that the pheno-mena shown by the endemic genera are exactly paralleled bythose shown by genera that occupy more area. If one take (asusual from my Dictionary, in which uncertain fours are countedas fives, etc.) the genera that are confined to single continents ch. xvi) ENDEMISM AND DISTRIBUTION: GENERA 177 r/ X u (0 -IN Xc E MDLMICS.
