There seemed to be nothing absolutely peculiar to this elevation.

Birds and quadrupeds were less plentiful, but of the same species.

In insects there seemed to be more difference.

The curious beetles of the family Cleridae, which are found chiefly on bark and rotten wood, were finer than I have seen them elsewhere.

The beautiful Longicorns were scarcer than usual, and the few butterflies were all of tropical species.
