Seite 264 - And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
Seite 275 - Shaw in its smaller size, its darker and more rufous colour, its longer tarsus which is scutulated in front, its shorter toes and claws, which are dark horn-coloured, its smaller wings, which have much stronger and thicker quills, and also in having long straggling hairs on the face.
Seite 265 - I met with the famous fly called " tsetse," whose bite is certain death to oxen and horses. • This " hunter's scourge" is similar to a fly in Scotland called "kleg," but a little smaller; they are very quick and active, and storm a horse like a swarm of bees, alighting on him in hundreds and drinking his blood. The animal thus bitten pines away and dies at periods varying from a week to three months, according to the extent to which he has been bitten.
Seite 36 - S. testd suborbiculari ; spird acuminatd, albd, radiis paltidis longitudinalibus pictd, transversim liratd, interstitiis decussate striatis ; aperturd transversd, subovali, intus porcelland, labio subrecto, calloso. Hab. ad Insulam Lord Hood, dedicav. (Mus. Cuming.) A species somewhat resembling in colouring the striped variety of ,S. notata, but which differs materially in form and sculpture. MICROTIS, new genus. Animal as in Stomatia, but the foot with a deep anterior fissure for the head, and...
Seite 52 - A small species, partaking somewhat of the characters of D. stellaris, Adams and Reeve, but much more depressed, and the lower part of the whorls simple.
Seite 264 - Israelites, was a land of pasture which was not tilled or sown, because it was not overflowed by the Nile. But the land overflowed by the Nile, was the black earth of the valley of Egypt, and it was here that God confined the flies ; for, he says, it shall be a sign of this separation of the people, which he had then made, that not one fly should be seen in the sand, or...
Seite 210 - Kaika, named Makuku, is situated the exposed parts of the so-called turbary deposit, whence bones of Moas and other birds of various kinds have been obtained in such number and perfection. This bed is about 3 feet in depth and not more than 100 yards in length, and lies immediately on a stratum of tertiary blue clay ; its inland boundary is obscured by vegetation, and appears to be of a very limited extent ; the bed is entirely submerged, and only visible when the tide has receded. It consists almost...
Seite 119 - Antilope montanus, Riippell, Zool. t. . — Scopophorus montanus, Gray, Knowsley Menag. t. 5. Inhabits W. and E. Africa ; Abyssinia (Riippell) ; Gambia. Called Gebari, or Mahomet's Antelope (Earl of Derby). Brit. Mus. Very like the former, but grey brown, and the temporal spot much larger, deeper, more distinct and bald, both when alive and in the skin, so that it does not depend on the stuffing. 12. OREOTRAGUS, Gray, Sundevall ; Tragulus, H. Smith, not Pallas. Muffle large ; tear-bag arched, transverse...
Seite 263 - ... to the certain destruction of the creature. Even the elephant and rhinoceros, who, by reason of their enormous bulk, and the vast quantity of food and water they daily need, cannot shift to desert and dry places as the season may require, are obliged to roll themselves in mud and mire, which, when dry, coats them over like armour, and enables them to stand their ground against this winged assassin...
Seite 213 - Porphyrio, it doubtless enjoys the power of swimming, but would seem, from the structure of its legs, t<3 be more terrestrial in its habits than the members of that genus. I have carefully compared the bill of this example with that figured by Professor Owen under the name of Notornis Mantelli, and have little doubt that they are referable to one and the same species...
