less than a terrapin with two bodies e,Sht 'ess'
two tails, two heads, and one neck. we naru

ton, ADD determine whether the animals are
sunpIied with distinct set OF vessels and nerves,
or whether they are COMMON 20 both.

We feel an honest pride in giving publicity to
the following evidence Of public spirit and en-.
