     summary: For wolf cubs are like collies in this, that they seem to have a natural interest, perhaps a natural kinship with man, and next to their own kind nothing arouses their interest like a group of children playing. Here on the edge of the vast, untrodden barren, far from human eyes, in an ordinary family of wolf cubs playing wild and free, eager, headstrong, hungry, yet always under control and instantly subject to a wiser head and a stronger will than their own, was the explanation of it all.

     summary: There are just as big eggs and just as small ones from Simla and Kotegurh, from Cashmere, from Etawah, Bareilly, Futtehgurh, from Kotagherry, and Conoor; all that one can possibly say is that perhaps the Plains birds do on the _average_ lay a _shade larger_ eggs than the Himalayan or Nilghiri ones. Thus it was that I eventually succeeded, even at the expense of being devoured alive by midges and mosquitoes; but then had I not the satisfaction of knowing that to become the happy possessor of _authentic_ eggs of _Acrocephalus dumetorum_ was in itself sufficient to repay me for my hill excursion!

At times these giddy phenomena were among the rafters, at other times they were on the floor, and yet again they were going up or coming down the walls; but all the while both men and dogs seemed to be everlastingly too late, and hunting them where, half-a-second before, they had been.

     summary: On the glittering table lie a chicken, a hare, three partridges, besides other things which are called fruits--peaches, melons, grapes--and which are all good for nothing. III Now, in this indifference and this total want of comprehension in which everything that surrounds us lives; in this incommunicable world, where everything has its object hermetically contained within itself, where every destiny is self-circumscribed, where there exist among the creatures no other relations than those of executioners and victims, eaters and eaten, where nothing is able to leave its steel-bound sphere, where death alone establishes cruel relations of cause and effect between neighbouring lives, where not the smallest sympathy has ever made a conscious leap from one species to another, one animal alone, among all that breathes upon the earth, has succeeded in breaking through the prophetic circle, in escaping from itself to come bounding toward us, definitely to cross the enormous zone of darkness, ice and silence that isolates each category of existence in nature's unintelligible plan.

The water-birds, being busy at their nests, are of course noisy, but, with the exception of the loud trumpeting of the sarus cranes, their vocal efforts are heard only at the _jhil_.

     summary: The hunting of such big game as I offer, which is full of danger, must form part of the creature's usual life, though it may be only an occasional pastime, perhaps to the great regret of the Mantis. Crickets of all kinds, butterflies, bees, large flies of many species, and other insects of moderate size: such is the prey that we habitually find in the embrace of the murderous arms of the Mantis. Although the Philanthus is skilled in forcing the bee to disgorge, in emptying the crop distended with honey, this diabolical skill cannot be merely an alimentary resource, above all when in common with other insects she has access to the refectory of the flowers.

However immediate in its effects upon the insect entangled in the fatal web, the Spider's poison is not serious for us and causes less inconvenience than a Gnat-bite.

     summary: Although a constant prowler about the nests of other birds, he is so wary and secretive that his little home is usually found only by accident. His conclusion is that birds that eat eggs of insects are of the greatest value to the farmer, as they feed almost entirely on injurious insects and their eggs, and are present all winter, where other birds are absent.

     summary: As they are useful, however, to fill up and quickly dry cavities in the wings, and such like, of large birds, etc, and in some cases even to prepare a skin for future stuffing, I will give a powder of my own composition, the chief point of merit of which consists in its being harmless to the user, and also that it has been tried on a large bird's skin, which it so effectually preserved and toughened that, eighteen months afterwards, it was relaxed and stuffed up better than the usual run of made skins: No. 8.--Browne's Preservative Powder. The feathers of the skin must now be beaten with a bundle of stiff feathers, or the wing of a goose, or other large bird, until nearly dry, then dry plaster added from time to time, and the skin twirled about in the open air if possible.

Seen at its worst, when surprised in the glare of daylight and mobbed by a furious rabble of little birds, an owl looks a helpless fool indeed, though this is not the proper moment to judge of the bird's possibilities under happier circumstances.

And here the Otters will meet, old and young, male and female, without any thought but the joy of fun together, and shoot down one after the other, swiftly, and swifter still, as the hill grows smooth with use, and plump into the water and out again; and chase each other with little animal gasps of glee, each striving to make the shoot more often and more quickly than the others.

     summary: Many groups of _Hyla_ in this area (for example, the _Hyla boans_ and _Hyla marmorata_ groups) are equally as arboreal in their habits as are the species of _Agalychnis_ in Central America. DISCUSSION Noble (1931) considered the species of _Phyllomedusa_ having opposable digits, reduced terminal discs, and no webbing to be advanced and such species as _Agalychnis moreleti_, _calcarifer_, and _spurrelli_ to be primitive.

     summary: Catbirds complained with a soft liquid chuck or their more decided mew; kingbirds peeped out to see what was the excitement, and then settled in the bushes in plain sight, at leisure now since their decorous little folk were educated and taking care of themselves; and other birds came whispering about behind my back, while I dared not turn to see, lest I send everybody off in a panic. In the beginning of my study of bird life, when I had a bird-room for close observation, I was interested to see that our little neighbors in feathers possess as much individuality of character as ourselves, and in Chapters XII. and XIII.

     summary: It is of an extremely predacious nature, and feeds on the various species of small worms, and other water animals, that happen to approach. The ape possesses a peculiar property, wherein he differs greatly from other animals, and resembles man--namely, that he is by nature equally gluttonous and inquisitive.

     summary: {103} Underneath, there is a pretty arrangement of subdued colouring; that of the front wings nearly resembling the upper side; the lower wings clouded and spotted with russet-brown on a paler brown ground, the _dark rounded brown spots_ having _white_ centres; but there are _no black_ 3).--Of this species, greatly resembling our _E. Blandina_, several specimens were formerly taken by some entomologists in the Isle of Arran, where, as also in other mountain districts, it may probably still exist; but its haunts have to be re-discovered by some enterprising butterfly-hunter. From _Blandina_, which it almost exactly resembles on the upper surface, it may be distinguished by the marking of the under side of the hind wing, on which is an irregular, broken band of _pure white_, and between this and the margin a row of _three_ distinct black eye-spots.

This I have often observed--that when a quarrel or fight took place in a large flock or gang of crows (a circumstance by no means infrequent), it seemed soon to extend to the whole; and during the continuance of their anger all the usual caution of their nature appeared to be forgotten, allowing themselves at such times to be approached closely; and, regardless of men, fire-arms, or the fall of their companions, continuing their wrangling with rancorous obstinacy.

     summary: By November 7, though many nests were still without eggs, a large number now contained two, and their owners started, turn and turn about, to go to the open water leads about a third of a mile distant to feed, and as a result of this a change began gradually to come over the face of the rookery. A feature of the above scene, which one could not help noticing, was that however badly a penguin was injured it was never molested by the others, as is almost invariably the rule among other birds, including their near neighbours the skuas.

     summary: the nasals are separated throughout their lengths from the ethmoid, whereas the nasals of _S. phaeota_ are separated from the ethmoid by cartilage. In the _baudini_ group, _S. phaeota_ and _cyanosticta_ are allopatric, whereas _S. baudini_ occurs sympatrically with both of those species.

     summary: It varies considerably in colour, and approaches very near to _C. vulpinus Lam._ from which it principally differs in having an elevated, though short, spire, instead of one nearly flat: the base is granulated, and generally white; _C. vulpinus_ also has the body whorl carinated and thickest round the upper margin, whereas, in _Vitulinus_, it is gently swelled in the middle. This approaches so near to the Sphinx Alope of Drury, that it is not without hesitation I have ventured to separate them; it will, however, be seen, that neither in his figure or description is any notice taken of the pale testaceous band on the superior wings; the body likewise is described as encircled with rings of brown and _dark ash_ colour; in this, the rings are black, on nearly a white ground: the under sides of the superior wings, in Drury's insect, are spotted along their external edges with long yellowish spots; in this, they are uniform pale brown.

     summary: The orb-weaver is the aerial trapper among living creatures, stretching its sticky, elastic web across the aerial runway of its prey and waiting with a patience which would drive a fisherman insane. Whether they live in colonies with highly developed social states, or whether they live the lives of solitary hermits, their industry and sacrifice to keep alive and perpetuate their kind, are things that make us wonder whether, after all, we have the right to call ourselves the most altruistic of living creatures.

     summary: Farther westward, northward, and southward, where _Usnea_ is scarce or entirely absent, these warblers seem to find congenial haunts in hemlock ravines and in other coniferous woods and swamps; but even there they are more likely to be found where there is at least some of one species or another of this lichen, or where the somewhat similar Spanish moss (_Tillandsia usneoides_) grows. William Brewster (1906) mentions only one nest taken in the neighborhood of Cambridge, Mass., a region where _Usnea_ is scarce: In shape and general plan of construction the nest closely resembles that of a Baltimore Oriole.

If it is early summer (nearly all snails hide, burrow, and sleep during the winter), look about on the grass for some half-chalky, half-stony shields, which are the winter front doors of _H. pomatia_, now discarded; while sharper eyes might even descry the flinty little darts with which they have been love-making.

His song is most noticeable after sundown, when other birds are silent; for which reason he has been aptly called the vesper sparrow.

     summary: Again, on the subjects of _orders_, a term I have already been induced to use now and then, I am quite aware that I here am guilty of another misdemeanour, and more especially as I call them natural orders, meaning thereby orders among the contents of which nature has established the similarity; and to the formation of which the cunningly devised fables of man have contributed but very little; and meaning also that nature has implanted in us all, more or less, the power of distinguishing such orders by a mere glance, and without any reference to our books. The truth is, there are seven kinds of mouth in insects, so distinct that good classes could be built on them,[24]--classes which would confirm those which Aristotle appears to have derived chiefly from other characters: of these seven, three are mandibulate, three are haustellate, and one without the rudiments of mandible or haustellum.

     summary: This, in conjunction with M. _casta_, _olivaria_, _dactylus_ (Lam.), and _olivæformis_ (Sw.), constitute a particular group, allied to _Conoehelix_, having the plaits extending far beyond the aperture. By this shell we are led to _A. rubens_ Lam. where a lamellar plate, though much shorter, is placed beneath the umbones.

     summary: The Indian bird erroneously called _Pitta thoracica_ by M.

     summary: In setting Lepidoptera, as with other insects, symmetry and a natural position are the main points to be aimed at, special care being taken that the antennæ, fore- and hind-legs, and wings, are shown in correct positions, the middle pair of legs being of course, in the majority of cases, hidden by the wings. They are very voracious, devouring large quantities of flies, caterpillars, and other insects, some of which are much superior to themselves in size.

     summary: As we came along this morning to visit you, and were talking of what you had told us of insects that, like carpenters, could saw wood and bore holes in it, we passed by the tailor's shop, near the church; 'and now,' said we, 'we have found out something which will puzzle good Uncle Philip: there are surely no tailors among the lower animals; so we will ask him to-day to talk about creatures that can cut out cloth and sew it up with a needle.' The sun is shining brightly, and the birds are singing, and the insects are flying about, and the grass is green, and every thing appears pleasant, and you feel happy too, and have come, I suppose, to see old Uncle Philip.

     summary: Antoninus exhibited Hippopotami, with lions and other animals; Commodus no less than five, some of which he slew with his own hand. Whatever this electric state of the air preceding a shower may be, it seems to be the same that causes in other animals some peculiar sensations, which makes the peacock squall, the pintado call come back, &c. An expressive adage says:-- When that the ass begins to bray, Be sure we shall have rain that day.

     summary: There are also many birds of the Thrush tribe to be met with in farm and garden--indeed every British species might be included, if we except the Ring-ouzel; but even that one is occasionally seen on the meadows and about the fruit-gardens on its way to and from the moors where it breeds. Above the moving mass of glittering fish the snow-white looking Terns flutter and poise and drift to and fro in a constantly-changing throng; many birds are swimming above the shoal, and every few moments one of the flying Terns drops down like a stone into the water with a splash that we can hear half a mile or more across the sea.

     summary: Supposing it is the secret of their beautiful nest-building, the house sparrow adopting trees to nest in where the houses are built of brick and lack crevices, or the falcon deserting its usual high inaccessible crag and nesting on the ground; it cannot possibly account for a young duck taking the water directly it has left the shell, or the habit of young plovers, snipes, grouse, and other birds crouching flat when danger is overhead even as soon as they are hatched. But this departure from the general rule I have noticed with other birds on rare occasions.

     summary: In all other respects the excitable tissues of the Medusæ in their behaviour towards electrical stimulation conform to the rules which are followed by excitable tissues of other animals. Again, in the second place, we must remember that the method of administering the above-mentioned poisons to the Medusæ was very different from that which we employ when administering them to other animals; for, in the case of the Medusæ, the neuro-muscular tissue is spread out in the form of an exceedingly tenuous sheet, so that when the animal is soaking in the poisoned water every portion of the excitable tissue is equally exposed to its influence; and that the action of a poison is greatly modified by such a difference in the mode of its administration has been proved by Professor Gamgee, who found that when a frog's muscle is allowed to soak in a solution of vanadium, etc., it loses its irritability, while this is not the case if the poison is administered by means of the circulation.

     summary: All frogs and toads are flesh eaters, mainly of worms and insects and larval or small water animals; but the big species, such as the bullfrog, may seize prey of considerable size as it comes within reach, such as young ducklings. By pulling up the weeds gently, you may get small species that otherwise easily escape your dipper or net.

It is due to ignorance of the character of the country inhabited by mountain goat that so much has been written about an alleged antipathy between _Oreamnos_ and the mountain sheep.

     summary: The most striking and noteworthy feature about the effects of changes of climate and moisture, changes of salinity of the water in aquatic organisms, and changes of food-stuff, is that, when they produce any effect at all, they give rise to _definite_ variations. And there are certain degenerate organisms which have taken to a parasitic life, and live within the bodies of other animals.

On the basis of the experiments of 1897, an attempt was made, beginning early in April, 1898, to prevent the breeding of house flies about the department by the treatment of this manure pile with kerosene.

     summary: A common British bird, arriving in April, and leaving again in September.] Though undeniably unmusical, the red-backed shrike is nevertheless able to imitate with considerable success the notes of other small birds, decoying them by this means within striking distance--an accomplishment shared also by other members of the Shrike Family. These are large birds, presenting some resemblances to the Game-birds on the one hand and the Geese on the other.

Boggess), who goes so far as heartily to recommend the artificial introduction of the ants to abate this bug nuisance.[14] Bedbugs and other household insects, however, are not of the sort which it is convenient or profitable to turn over to their natural enemies in the hope that eradication by this means will follow, and the fact that they are preyed upon by other insects furnishes no excuse to the housekeeper for not instituting prompt remedial measures. The biting organ of the bedbug is similar to that of other insects of its order.

     summary: It was a rare pleasure to listen to her, and seeing what sort of a girl she was, and how much in love with her subject, I in my turn told her a great deal about the birds before us, also of other birds she had never seen nor heard of, in other and distant lands that have a nobler bird life than ours; and after she had listened eagerly for some minutes, and had then been silent a little while, she all at once pressed her two hands together, and exclaimed rapturously, Oh, I do so love the birds! I replied that that was not strange, since it is impossible for us not to love whatever is lovely, and of all living things birds were made most beautiful. It is this extreme liveliness of the jay which makes it more distressing to the mind to see it pent in a cage than other birds of its family, such as the magpie; just as it is more distressing to see a skylark than a finch in prison, because the lark has an irresistible impulse to rise when his singing fit is on.

     summary: I frequently watched them at dusk, beating about the trees and bushes in a systematic manner, often a dozen or more of them wheeling together about one tree, like so many moths about a candle, and one occasionally dashing through the branches until a pigeon--usually the Zenaida maculata--or other bird was scared from its perch. But as soon as the young cow-birds are able to shift for themselves, and begin to associate with their own kind, their habits change, and they become suspicious and wild like other birds.
