Proportion of sp. ranging over 18 Countries, in the larger & smaller genera.

Genera with 5 & up.

sp. f. in 18 countries 145

sp. in genera [calculation not transcribed]

Genera with 4 & down

sp. f. in 18 c 139 [calculation not transcribed]

The above will not be quite correct 36 sp. countries not marked, I suppose distributed equally

Total no of species, which occur in 18 countries 286

Total of sp. which have countries appended [calculation not transcribed]

sp. which have vars & also occur in 18 countries 70

Total of sp. which present vars. [calculation not transcribed]

Average of countries inhabited by all the species, which have countries appended to them [calculation not transcribed]

Average of countries to those species, marked by (-) ie sp. which have been thought by some to be only vars. Countries are not marked to all, so are here [calculation]

These both printed vars, & vars added by Mr W. which vars. have been thought by some one Bot to be species 169 which have no. of countries appended to them these inhabit altogether 2460 countries, so on average each such varying species inhabits

Ranges of the varieties themselves (47 in number) in those few cases in which no of countries is appended; & they inhabit 357 Cs

These might be compared with average 13.96 of all species which have vars.

These 47 vars, belong to 44, species, which inhabit 620 countries on average
