The genera arriving for examplein Britain will not all arrive simultaneously, but some will arrivesooner than others, and these will tend to be the larger genera ofthe nearest source of supply, for the larger genera will usually bethe more widespread. The ultimate result will tend to be thatthese genera will not only arrive first, but will tend to be repre-sented by more species, so that one will expect the most widelydistributed species in the large genera (i.e. large for the countryin question, being represented there by many species) to bemore widely dispersed than those of the small. This we havealready seen to be the case in the most striking way (p. 114). But one may push this arithmetical regularity further yet. If ch. xxii) GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION 237 one take the number of species per family in the British flora,one finds it to increase steadily with the number of genera; thereare no breaks, as one would be inclined to expect.
