ide is entirely determined by the character of the butterfly fertilisers=2E=
Only those plants which laid themselves out from time immemorial to suit t=
he butterflies, in other words, have succeeded in the long run in the strug=
gle for existence=2E So the butterfly-plants of the butterfly-zone are all =
strictly adapted to butterfly tastes and butterfly fancies=2E They are, for=
the most part, individually large and brilliantly coloured: they have lots=
of honey, often stored at the base of a deep and open bell which the long =
proboscis of the insect can easily penetrate: and they habitually grow clos=
e together in broad belts or patches, so that the colour of each reinforces=
and aids the colour of the others=2E It is this cumulative habit that acco=
unts for the marked flowerbed or jam-tart character which everybody must ha=
ve noticed in the high Alpine flora =22 /></a></td></tr>

the limit of snow, whether northward or upward=2E For example, I was please=
d to note near the summit of Mount Washington (the highest peak in New Hamp=
shire) that a large number of the flowers belonged to species well known on=
the open plains of Lapland and Finland=2E The plants of the High Alps are =
found also, as a rule, not only on the High Pyrenees, the Carpathians, the =
Scotch Grampians, and the Norwegian fjelds, but also round the Arctic Circl=
e in Europe and America=2E They reappear at long distances where suitable c=
onditions recur: they follow the snow-line as the snow-line recedes ever in=
summer higher north toward the pole or higher vertically toward the mounta=
in summits=2E And this bespeaks in one way to the reasoning mind a very anc=
ient ancestry=2E It shows they date back to a very old and cold epoch=22 />=

While the bees with their honey-bags, like the financier with his money-bag=
s, are storing up profit for the composite community, the butterfly, on the=
contrary, lays himself out for an agreeable flutter, and sips nectar where=
he will, over large areas of country=2E He flies rather high, flaunting hi=
s wings in the sun, because he wants to show himself off in all his airy be=
auty: and when he spies a bed of bright flowers afar off on the sun-smitten=
slopes, he sails off towards them lazily, like a grand signior who amuses =
himself=2E No regular plodding through a monotonous spike of plain little b=
