ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

REPTILES IN IRELAND--R. E. C.. City. Reptiles are not indigenous to Ireland, yet there is nothing in the soil or climate to prevent them from living in that country. In 1881 six snakes of a harmless species were introduced in the County Down, being turned out in the garden of the Rath Gail House. One of these was killed it 9IilerroSS after Icing at liberty one week, two more were killed within six weeks, but the other two were not traced, although d reward was of fered for them. In 1S43, according to the Dublin Penny Post, another experiment was made with snakes in that country and they thrived. This shows that the assertion that reptiles cannot live in Ire land twenty-four hours" is not correct
