Seite 159 - The kinds obtained are those that inhabit the coasts of New Guinea and its islands, the remainder seeming to be strictly confined to the central mountain-ranges of the northern peninsula; and our researches at Dorey and Amberbaki, near one end of this peninsula, and at Salwatty and Sorong, near the other, enable me to decide with some certainty on the native country of these rare and lovely birds, good specimens of which have never yet been seen in Europe. It must be considered as somewhat extraordinary...
Seite 208 - Transactions" contain such of the more important communications made to the scientific meetings of the Society as, on account of the nature of the plates required to illustrate them, are better adapted for publication in the quarto form. The numerous...
Seite 295 - This case will be found minutely detailed in the fourth and fifth volumes of the " Transactions of the Association of Fellows and Licentiates of the King and Queen's College of Physicians in Ireland.
Seite 160 - ... the most savage and ruthless character, in the very lowest stage of civilization. In such a country and among such a people are found these wonderful productions of nature. In those trackless wilds do they display that exquisite beauty and that marvellous development of plumage, calculated to excite admiration and astonishment among the most civilized and most intellectual races of man.
Seite 293 - Küchenmeister ; but I would observe, in passing, that it is rather singular that MoquinTandon should express his belief that the sexes have been mistaken by such competent authorities. The circumstance of the smaller form being carefully described by them as furnished with uterine ducts containing eggs ought to leave no doubt in our minds as to the correctness of the generally received opinion, unless we have distinct evidence to the contrary. In connexion with this subject I would also again call...
Seite 311 - ... one-thousandth of an inch. Sand and charcoal filters were of very little use. Paper filters should be employed. All entozoa not preserved for scientific experiments should be destroyed by fire, and under no circumstances should they be thrown aside as harmless refuse ; and he would press upon butchers, knackers, and others, not to throw doubtful offal to dogs frequenting their neighbourhoods.
Seite 160 - The country is all rocky and mountainous, covered everywhere with dense forests, offering in its swamps and precipices and serrated ridges an almost impassable barrier to the unknown interior; and the people are dangerous savages, in the very lowest stage of barbarism. In such a country, and among such a people, are found these wonderful productions of Nature, the...
Seite 159 - ... a profitable merchandise. The same causes frequently lead the inhabitants of uncivilized countries to conceal any minerals or other natural products with which they may become acquainted, from the fear of being obliged to pay increased tribute, or of bringing upon themselves a new and oppressive labour.
Seite 162 - These nests were formed of dead grass and parts of bushes, sunk a slight depth into two parallel furrows in sandy soil, and then nicely arched above. But the most remarkable fact connected with them was, that they were always full of broken shells, large heaps of which protruded from each extremity of the nest ; these were invariably sea-shells. In one instance, in the nest...
Seite 306 - The specific name of mtdiocandlata has reference to an interesting and almost specific character in connection with the water-vascular system, into which we have not space to enter. Leuckart has proved by experiment that the measles or cysticerci which produced this worm are to be found in the muscles and internal organs of cattle. He administered proglottides of T. mediocanellata to three calves, a sheep, and a pig. In the two last-named animals, they produced no effect, as was shewn by their post-mortem...
