Página 368 - I may state that the resemblance between the wolves and the dogs of those Indian nations, who still preserve their ancient mode of life, continues to be very remarkable, and it is nowhere more so, than at the very northern extremity of the Continent, the Esquimaux dogs being not only extremely like the gray wolves of the Arctic circle, in form and colour, but also nearly equalling them in size.
Página 295 - The deep-sea fauna has probably been formed almost entirely from the littoral, not in most remote antiquity, but only after food, derived from the debris of the littoral and terrestrial faunas and floras, became abundant in deep water.
Página 157 - The principal peculiarity of this bird is the shortness and remarkably small size of the wings, which, not having sufficient power to raise the body, serve only to propel it along, rather than through the water, and are used like the paddles of a steam-vessel. Aided by these and its strong broad-webbed feet, it moves with astonishing velocity. It would not be an exaggeration to state iis speed at from twelve to fifteen miles an hour.
Página 98 - In regard to the second point, the locality-sense, great doubt seems to exist in the minds of naturalists as to whether limpets go back to the same place to roost. I believe the question was answered in the affirmative long since by a Mr. King, but, as far as is known to me, he did not publish any details of his observations, and this is my excuse for giving an outline of mine. Following a suggestion of Mr. Murray, I marked a number of limpets with white paint, and made corresponding marks near their...
Página 369 - Indeed, the wolves and the domestic dogs of the fur countries are so like each other, that it is not easy to distinguish them at a small distance ; the want of strength and courage of the former being the principal difference. The offspring of the wolf and Indian dog are prolific, and are prized by the voyagers as beasts of draught, being stronger than the ordinary dog.
Página 107 - The King shall have wreck of the sea throughout the realm ; whales and great sturgeons taken in the sea or elsewhere within the realm, except in certain places privileged by the King,
Página 1 - Take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field and take (Hebrew,
Página 100 - ... (like the one just mentioned) living some distance below high-water mark. Still some limpets live so near this last that they are covered but a very short time, and yet these remain on their scars during that time. Hence I think some other motive probably induces them to remain firmly fixed to their scars when under water. Of course they can hold on best when so fixed, and this suggests the most likely reason for the habit, ie to avoid being washed off the rocks by the tide. I am inclined to...
Página 488 - He considers that the shell, the palliai lobes, the intestine, the nerves, and the atrial system, afford characters amply sufficient to define the Class. The greatest depth at which a living species has been found alive, has been 2990 fathoms. As. to Classification he groups the recent species into two great divisions : — I.
Página 157 - Aided by these and its strong broad-webbed feet, it moves with astonishing velocity. It would not be an exaggeration to state its speed at from twelve to fifteen miles an hour. The peculiar form of the wing, and the short rigid feathers which cover it, together with the power this bird possesses of remaining a considerable time under water, constitute a striking link between the genera Anas and Aptenodytes.
