Strana 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...
Strana 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.
Strana 74 - ICONES PLANTARUM; Or, FIGURES, with brief Descriptive Characters and Remarks, of NEW or RARE PLANTS, selected from the Author's Herbarium.
Strana 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.
Strana 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.
Strana 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...
Strana 54 - ... 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.
Strana 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.
Strana 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...
Strana 45 - Another anecdote is related on the authority of a sporting friend. " When out hunting among the Belfast mountains, an Eagle appeared above his hounds as they came to fault on the ascent to Devis, the highest of the chain. As they came on the scent again, and were at full cry, the Eagle for a short time kept above them, but at length advanced and carried off the hare, when at the distance of from three to four hundred paces before the...
