lREUANO'S ANIMALS.
Species of Frogs and TOAas Are
Found In the Green Isle.


II Is not correct To say that there are
no frogs or toads in Ireland. though II
is very remarkable that the common
toad is not found there. The nattcrjacs
toad is native OF Kerry, though 1t
does not appear 10 be found elsewhere.
Ii is an example of the mania which
some people have for mcddling with
nature that DR.. Guithers in 1863 took
the trouble TO procure frogs spawn
from England, since which time they
have multiplied in Ireland. But the
common lizard is found in many parts
of the island The slowworm Is not
Though the common toad and till re-
cent times the frog were not found In
Ireland 1t is worth remembering that
the English reptiles and batrachians
are very local in their distribution. The
natterjack toad is only found in certain
counties. The edible frog was formerly
only found In Foulmire Fen. in Cam
bridgeshire, and the sand lizard is most
capricious in the choice OF Il home. The
beautiful green lacert;e" which Gil
bert White saw on the sunny banks
near Farnham are to be found there
still, the males being of the green color.
and also near Rournemouth and in
Dorsctshire beyond Poole Harbor. Yet
there are many suitable places where
none are seen, and then they reappear
again on some sandhills on the coast Of
Lancashire. near Southport.
~, la Oh -
many species in Ireland which are or
were commonly found in the larger is
land can only be explained on the sup
position that they never reached the
country. Among these are the wildcat,
the polecat and the weasel Yet the
marten was always plentiful on the
other side of st, Georges channel, and
stoats abound in the west Five of the
fourteen species OF bat found In Eng
land have not been taken in Ireland,
neither is the common shrew found
there or the water shrew or the mole.
though the last Is found in Anglesey.
Only six of the fifteen British rodents
are found in Ireland. and OF these one,
the squirrel. was probably introduced,
Neither is the roe deer Indigenous. In
support Of the general theory that the
immigration of the English fauna was
difficult in the earlier periods and sub
sequently checked altogether may be
cited the analogous instance Of the Isle
OF Man. There. as in Ireland. there are
no moles, no snakes and no toads.-
