Стр. lix - Truth, for its own sake, had never been a virtue with the Roman clergy. Father Newman informs us that it need not, and on the whole ought not to be ; that cunning is the weapon which Heaven has given to the saints wherewith to withstand the brute male force of the wicked world which marries and is given in marriage. Whether his notion be doctrinally correct or not, it is at least historically so.
Стр. lix - While I feel then that Mr. Kingsley's February explanation is miserably insufficient in itself for his January enormity, still I feel also that the Correspondence, which lies between these two acts of his, constitutes a real satisfaction to those principles of historical and literary justice to which he has given so rude a shock. Accordingly, I have put it into print, and make no further criticism on Mr. Kingsley.
Стр. lxxv - Experiments on living organisms in heated water," published in the American Journal of Science and Arts, the first in the year 1862, the other in 1867. Milne-Edwards...
Стр. 193 - As evidence both of their intelligence and of their affection for their friends, it has been said by various observers that when ants have been accidentally buried they have been very soon dug out and rescued by their companions. Without for a moment doubting the facts as stated, we must remember the habit which ants have of burrowing in loose fresh soil, and especially their practice of digging out fresh galleries when their nests are disturbed. It seemed to me, however, that it would not be difficult...
Стр. 417 - ... cannot be entirely disregarded. More important is the testimony of such pathologists as v. Recklinghausen and Bollinger, who give it as their impression that at autopsy many bodies seem abnormally rich in blood. That the amount of blood in animals may vary greatly not only in different species, but in different individuals of the same species, has been definitely proved by the work of Bergmann and Bellinger.
Стр. 193 - AM the next morning the honey was all gone ; two or three ants were still wandering about, but no notice had been taken of the prisoner, whom I then let out. In this case I allowed the honey to be finished, because I thought it might perhaps be alleged that the excitement produced by such a treasure distracted their attention ; or even, on the principle of doing the greatest good to the greatest number...
Стр. 191 - As soon as they had recovered from the shock of this unexpected proceeding on my part, they began to run all round and about the box, looking for some other place of entrance. Finding none, however, they began digging down into the earth just over the hole, carrying off the grains of earth one by one, and depositing them, without any order, all round at a distance of from...
Стр. 193 - Lasius niger on a glass surrounded with water, and so arranged that in reaching it the ants passed over another glass covered with a layer of sifted earth about one-third of an inch in thickness. I then put some ants to the honey, and by degrees a considerable number collected round it. Then at 1.30 PM, I buried an ant from the same nest under the earth, and left her there till 5 PM, when I uncovered her. She was none the worse, but during the whole time, not one of her friends had taken the least...
Стр. 184 - ... the first and fourth are bare, having only the membrane that fills up the space between the arches reflected over them. The principal organs of respiration are two small bladders, which the animal has the power of filling with air, immediately derived from the atmosphere. They are placed behind the head, one on each side of the neck, above the superior or vertebral extremities of the branchial arches, and are covered over by the common integuments, presenting externally, when distended with air,...
Стр. 49 - In the males there is not so great a difference in character between the ambulacra of the trivium.and those of the bivium ; but the tentacles of the latter seem to be less fully developed in both sexes, and I have never happened to see an individual of either sex progressing upon, or adhering by, the water-feet of the dorsal canals. " In a very large proportion of the females which I examined, young were closely picked in twosxmtinuous fringes adhering to the water-feet of the dorsal ambulacra.
