ABOUT FRoGs.-The editor of st liar pers's Scientific Record" gives some credence to a singular statement from New Zealand. It is said that surface water is entirely gone from large tracts. sometimes covering five thousand square miles, for months. The region becomes soIutterly dry as to forbid the possibility, apparently, of any survival of frog life. And yet these reptiles seem to beat the cat for tenacity of life, for whenever rains falls sufficiently to fill the water holes, they are found to swarm with frogs, and this when immediately pre- vipus one might dig for ten or twenty feet without finding any trace of water. Al recent writer offers solution. His statement is that on a recent tour ne became alarmed for want of water that native called for help, went immedi- ately to a dry water hole, found acrook
 ed and indistinct track on what { had once been land, and followed it up to the shade of small bush. Here be commenced digging, and soon found a ball of clay about eight inches in diame- ter, and quite dry on the outside, but, | when broken, it was found to contain about half a pint of clear, cold water, in which frog was biding his time, await ing the rainy season. A number oi similar balls were exhumed, and the travellers made free with both the water and the frogs. This is a marvellous story, and one may well wait for verif. cation and yet such display of pro tective instinct is not more marvellous than many which are certainly known.
