♦N ACCOI:NT OF TOADS FOUND ENCLOSED IN THE

SPUN. OF A SOLID QUAltillr.

• [Front " The Select Writings of Dr. Frealklin,"
dm. " published]

,•
• At Passy, near PAris. April 6,1782, being with
51. de Chaumont, viewing his quarry, he ineutioned
to me that the workmen had found a living toad
abut siii in the stone. On questioning one of them,
hr told us. they had found four it: different cells,
whirls hod no communication ; that they were very
lively mud active when set at liberty : that these was
iu each cell some loose, soft, yellowish earth, which
appeared to be very moist. We asked, if lie could
chew us the parts of the stone that formed the
cells ? He said no, for they were thrown among
the rest of what was dug out, and he knew not *hest
to find them. We asked if there appeared any
opeestog by which the aiiitual might cuter ?
moil no, not the least. %Ye asked if, iu the coarse
cf his business as a !shower, in quarries, he had
awn met with the like ? He said never before.
NVe ;Irked if lie could chew as tht toads ? He
said he had thrown two of theta upon a higher part
isl the quarry, hut km.w nut what brc4iste or the
tilherg. He then came up to the place where he
had thrown the two, and finding them, he took
them Ly the foot, and threw them up to us upon
the ground where we stood. One of them was
quite dead, and appeared very lean ; the other was
plump, and still living. 'The part of the rock
where they were found is at least fifteen tent be-
" 'Welts sorface, and is a kind of limestone. A part
of it is tilled with aticient sea shell., and other ma-
vinesubstasicts. If these animals have remained
this•coulinem-nt since the formation of the rock,
:they Are, probably smile thousands of years old.
We lint theru in spirits of wine to preserve their
lustiest' little longer. The workmen have proinisesl
to'call iss. if they meet with any more, that we way
~, ole their situation. %Before a suitable bottle
resold he 'twist-41 to receive them, that which was
living wiser we first had them, appeared to be quite
sv•il outlined's' ; but, beittg in the bottle, and
the spirits imured over them, he flounced about
in it very rigorously fur two orthere minutes, and
theii expired.

It is ohoerved that animals, who perspire but
little, can her long withent fell ; such as tortoise.,
