crat-some of whom have DoDGED so often that
Naturalists would be truly puzzled to tell to
what genus they belong. There is one how
ever, that smells so strong of the shop (poor
fellow we are sorry for hin) that he cannot
possibly disguise himself! He, we know to
have lodged repeatedly-and so full is his
brain of the rotatory that in very short time
it may be expected he viii take another circle !;
and another, who has become so familiar with
the art that he out-dodgeS himself-and its
