Capitolo 79
The following cases that I extract for example takes, with essential
the simplifications, from the Dr. Woodward.
'In June 1850, a mussel of living pond out which had been more than one year
of water, it was expeditious to the Mr. Gray, from Australia. The great snails of pond of
the tropics have been found alive in mahogany trunks imported from
Honduras; AND M. Caillaud brought some from Egypt to Paris, packaged in
sawdust. Indeed it is not to verify effortless the limit of them,
persistence; for the Mr. Laidlay, having put a number in a drawer for this
a lot of purpose, finds them alive after numbness of years'_ of _five, even if
in the warm climate of Calcutta. The beautiful called snails _cyclostomas_,
what they have a cover to their hulls, it is known well to survive
imprisonments of many months; but in the all'ordine of the day to open mouth
earth-snails such cases are also more extraordinary. Very of the enormous one
tropical snails decorated mantelpieces of cottage, brought from often
Lieutenant Greaves from Valparaiso, revived him after being packaged, some for
thirteen, others for twenty months. In 1849, the Mr. Pickering received,
from the Mr. Wollaston a basketful of snails in Madeira (of winds or thirty
different son-in-laws) three-fourth of what it tried to be alive later
the confinement of many months, included a maritime trip. The Mr. Wollaston has
he recorded the fact that samples of two snails in Madeira they survived
a fast and imprisonment in two year-old pill-boxes and a half duration,
and those great numbers of a small kind, brought to England to the
same time, it was _all_ that he/she lives after in a dry purse being included for a
per annum and a half.'
If their snails liked their long deprivation of food and
damp that we am not informed; their personal tastes and inclinations
it was very small consulted in the matter; but as them and they
ancestors for a lot of generations are due to have accustomed from very to similar
fasts during the tropical droughts, in every probability of theirs they didn't make a lot of mind
it.
The true question, then on I toad-in-a-puncture her/it historical it tightens
