The small standing waters, formed by single cavities, are proportionably rich in water-beetles, among which is found a Dyticus of the form of the sulcatus, seven Colymbetes, Hydroporus two species, and a Gyrinus.
Small grey birds, like the warblers of the reeds, flit from stem to stem; hosts of brilliant gyrinus play on the water; notonectes and beetles, resembling the hydrophili, live within it now rising to respire, now swiftly diving.
Not only were those familiars there, but they were represented by species belonging to the typical genera Gyrinus, Colymbetes, and Hydrophilus. Over these pools flew dragon-flies, whose larval stages are passed in the water, closely resembling others all over the world. All the land fauna was strikingly different from that of other regions; but the water fauna was as strikingly similar.
