The records Of theee tribunals have

In the face of we'll established instance
like those quoted IL Is difficult TO con
duct experiments that will be consider
Cd as being of q conclusive character
That these creatures should be able b
live not for centaries only, but 70
ages, appears contradictory to all rea
son and common sense. In some case
frogs have been found in cretaceou
| rocks.
Tho oldest fossil toads and frog,

those found In cretaceous rocks hat

primary frog, scarcely larger than the

In the form Of small insects from the
water that penetrates TO Its abode. Ger.
tain 1t Is that frogs, when artificially
secured in alright and water tight
vessels, speedily die. Experiments
made BY members of the French
Academy century ago proved this.
Milne Edwards early In the presen t
century inclosed frogs In vessels imper-
vious to air, and the creature speedily
perished.
Three frogs were once enclosed in a
close box for eighteen months, at the
end OF which time one was dead and the
remainder In q dying condition. DR..
Mccartney buried toad In a vessel
covered with q slate, about q foot deep
In the ground. At the end of a fort.
night 1t seemed we'll and as plump as
before. When, however, he enclosed
the same toad in an air-tight vessel and
buried 1t, 1t soon died, and at the end of
week was much decayed. DR., Buck
land made some experiments which are
claimed as conclusive. He placed
Twelve toads separately in twelve holes
cut in blocks of hard, iiinty sandstone.
They were firmly sealed In.
The imprisoned animals were buried
ihree feet deep on November &c, 1926.
At the same time four toads were de-
1osited In holes cut in the heart of an
apple tree and the opening securely
plugged. -Four others were also placed
u plaster of Paris, covered with iuting.
IN December 10, 1929, all the buried
Dads were examined. All in the hard
tone and In the tree and two in the
plaster Of Paris were dead. The re-
nainder were dying, but some placed
n softer stone were In tolerably good
iealth, and some were actually fatter
han when placed in the holes. From
his 1t would appear that in positions
where water can penetrate frogs may
i've and even thrive, although buried
t considerable depth, entirely away
rom the light and any visible means Of |
subsistence.
