Dureau de la Malle's dog likewise learnt from the kittens to play with a ball by rolling it about with his fore paws, and springing on it. A correspondent assures me that a cat in his house used to put her paws into jugs of milk having too narrow a mouth for her head. A kitten of this cat soon learned the same trick, and practised it ever afterwards, whenever there was an opportunity.
Dujardin, on the relative size of the cerebral ganglia, in insects. Duncan, Dr., on the fertility of early marriages; comparative health of married and single. Dupont, M., on the occurrence of the supra-condyloid foramen in the humerus of man. Durand, J.P., on causes of variation. Dureau de la Malle, on the songs of birds; on the acquisition of an air by blackbirds.

M. Dureau de la Malle states, that 100,000,000 of these bivalves are collected annually from a bank off the port of Granville; and that, by a proper course of feeding, white oysters have been converted into a much esteemed green sort, which sell at a high price.
Dureau de la Malle gives an account of a dog reared by a cat, who learned to imitate the well-known action of a cat licking her paws, and thus washing her ears and face; this was also witnessed by the celebrated naturalist Audouin.
Moreover, no philologist now supposes that any language has been deliberately invented; it has been slowly and unconsciously developed by many steps. See some good remarks on this head by Prof. Whitney, in his 'Oriental and Linguistic Studies, 1873, p. 354. Hon. Daines Barrington in 'Philosoph. Transactions, 1773, p. 262.
