Vitality OF SnaiIS.

Nothing is more remarkable than the
vitality of some species of snails. Pond
snails have been frequently found alive
in logs OF mahogany from Honduras, and
specimens belonging to the collection OF
a gentleman in dublin, after having been
dried for q period OF fifteen years, never.
theless revi. ed when placed in water.
We are told that workmen employed IN
the construction OF the Eric Canal, in the
State of New York, fouul several hum
dred live mollusks aG q depth OF 1orty
feet. Professor Morse records that ne
had seen certain species frozen IN Sol
blocks of ice, which have alterwaro re-
gained their activity. Madeira snails,
imprisoned closely in pill boxes for two
wears and a half, have nevertheless
survived; and desert.sna;l from Egypt
ii led to o tablet in the British Museum,
a5th of Mar b, AZ, he ng Immersed
in ,cpid water, marvelously but com.
petely recovered after an interval OF
four years. The vitality of snails' eggs
likewise passes belief. Even if desiccated
in furnace until reduced to minute
ness barely visible, they will always re-
gain their original bulk when damped,
aud the young will be brought forth as
successfully as though the eggs mao
never been interfered with. Nor has cold
