primigenius. The men are represented
with short, bent legs, and seem to stand

feel the spine at the loin or lumbar re-

the back is hollow or concave. You will

on its legs with the support of chair,
it does not straighten its thighs and

age just succeeding the last glacial

Az Animated storage RESERVOIR.


The Australian lamprey has its prin-
cipal habitat in the Murray river, and
consequently in the dry seasons it is apt
to be irnbedded beneath the hardened
clay, where no water is. AS the stream
recedes, the animal fills its pouch and
disappears into the soft mud below,
there to remain until the drought has
passed away, subsisting on the moisture
which it has learned to store in special.
lied receptacle at the side of the head.
As matter of fact, tine fish has mas.
tered the difficult question Of water stor.
age on its own account before the race
of homo sapiens has been able to solve
the same problem in the island CONT.
nent.
1t is an interesting question whether
this Australian lamprey is not linger.
ing example of the fish of Miocene ages,
and as such may be considered as an an.
cestral type of European lanpreys. A
sea lamprey that / examined alive,
caught in the salmon nets of the tidal
estuary, had a dintinct tendency ia
swell at either side of the head, as if the
pouch might be forthcoming in time Of
actual necessity. If the Australian type
is not the absolute ancestor of the British
genera, it is at least reasonable to sup.
pose that it is an older form, and that
the divergent genera and species have
descended along different lines in the
great life struggle. That the pouch OF
the antipodean lamprey is intended for
the storage of water is fact that can
hardly be doubted by any one who has
seen the species amid its peculiar sur.
roundings.-Cornhill Magazine.
