p. CVII. Cases of plants apparently indigenous in Siberia, which seem like foreigners in Europe. And the Reverse, thus Cyanus segetum, most common throughout Europe, nowhere in Siberia except in one tract; other cases; & again,

(p CIX) other several cases of plants frequent to the West of the Taicus (or Oural river) to the East scarcely reaching the Tenisei, so separated by wide tract between these rivers. Here might quote

Lyell on extinction of intermediate individuals.

Thus (p. CXI) Cerasa acida rubella, at the Ourals & thence to the Irtisk commonly borne; also in Austria & Pannonia; but nowhere else.

Compare this with Ledebour on Altai
