This is no isolated occurrence of the kind,
and having come across mention of several

which softened when held in the hand, and
emitted an unpleasant smell when exposed
to the action of fire. The oyum or egg OF
the Batrichian reptiles is round mass oi
transparent nutritive jelly. in the center OF
which appears small black gobule In
the present case the passage through the
air would have dried up more or less oi
this glutineus mass, So that the interior
as found it, would still be soft and glut
inous. l have desired that more of tht
matter be sent to me; when, if there b.
any modification of these views. I vii
