עמוד 340 - Yet soon he heal'd ; for spirits, that live throughout Vital in every part, not as frail man, In entrails, heart or head, liver or reins, Cannot but by annihilating die ; Nor, in their liquid texture mortal wound Receive, no more than can the fluid air...
עמוד 334 - ... cup-shaped hollow in the fluid, thereby receiving a degree of buoyancy sufficient to suspend it at the surface. The principle is the same as that by which a dry needle is supported on water in the boat-like hollow which is formed by the cohesive force of the liquid, if care be taken to lay the needle down very gently on the surface. If, while the hydra is floating in this manner, suspended by the extremity of the foot, a drop of water be made to fall upon that part, so as to wet it, this hydrostatic...
עמוד 54 - Scoticus) just killed by him, and very near the same place came upon the female bird, also upon a grouse. Although my friend lifted both the dead birds, the hawks continued flying about, and on the remainder of the pack which lay near being sprung, either three or four more grouse were struck down by them.
עמוד 442 - ... the calyx, with its hundred petals. When it first opens, it is white, with pink in the middle, which spreads over the whole flower the more it advances in age, and it is generally found the next day altogether of a pink colour ; as if to enhance its beauty it is sw-eet scented.
עמוד 335 - I have sometimes," says Baker, " forced a worm from a polype the instant it has been bitten (at the expense of breaking off the polype's arms), and have always observed it to die very soon afterwards, without one single instance of recovery.
עמוד 442 - The divisions of the ribs and bands are visible on the upper surface of the leaf, by which it appears areolated. The young leaf is convolute and expands but slowly. The prickly stem ascends with the young leaf till it has reached the surface ; by the time it is developed, its own weight depresses the stem, and it floats on the water. The stalk of the flower is an inch thick near the calyx, and is studded with sharp elastic prickles, about three-quarters of an inch in length.
עמוד 260 - In 1 788, when he was scarcely nineteen years of age, circumstances fixed Cuvier for a time at Caen in Normandy. His sojourn on the borders of the sea induced him, already an enthusiast in natural history, to study marine animals, more especially the mollusca, and the anatomies of them which he now made conducted him to the developement of his great views on the whole of the animal kingdom. With unwearied zeal he collected the materials which were at no distant date to become the basis of a classification...
עמוד 261 - The greater number possess the senses of taste and sight, but the last is often wanting. " Only one family can boast of the organ of hearing ; they have always a complete system of circulation, and organs peculiarly adapted to respiration ; those of digestion and secretion are nearly as complicated as the same organs in vertebrated animals.
עמוד 442 - ... observed which have vestiges of an anther. The petals next to the leaves of the calyx are fleshy, and possess air-cells, which certainly must contribute to the buoyancy of the flower. The seeds of the many-celled fruit are numerous, and imbedded in a spongy substance. We met them hereafter frequently, and the higher we advanced the more gigantic they became.
עמוד 72 - ... considered as the head of the animal, and which is marked on each side with a curved black line ; but no eyes are perceptible. The two next rings bear neither filaments nor papillae. From the anterior margin of the fourth, which becomes suddenly larger, arises on each side a bundle of filaments, generally more tortuous, and of a paler colour than the others, which arise from the sides of the following rings, down about onefifth of the length of the animal, and a few remote filaments are dispersed...
