Thus it may be said that this genus is confined entirely to tem-

This which consists of only one species differs from the last
genus, &
is intermediate between it & the following in all
its characters: It
has the general appearance of the last, but
approaches more closely the
characters of the following: it
occurs at a considerable elevation on the
mountains of the Vosges.

Of the two species, the one, V. nivalis occurs at a great
altitude on the Carinthian mountains, at the limits of perpe-
tual snow „in stercore vaccino“. The

This numerous genus, consisting of upwards of 30 species,
