I regret that I did not preserve specimens, but I have reason to think that they are the larvæ of the Flata limbata, or of some other closely allied species , though I have not seen in Ceylon any of the wax produced by the flata. HEMIPTERA. Bugs.
Stackpole, half in a pet and half laughing; "why where did you get such a fury against England? you are the first fair antagonist I have met on this side of the water." "I wish I was a better one, Sir," said Fleda, laughing. "Miss Ringgan has been prejudiced by an acquaintance with one or two unfortunate specimens," said Mrs. Evelyn. "Ay!" said Mr.
After supper there was an illumination of the cascade, and the ancient gnarled arbor-vita: trees that lean over it-perhaps the largest known specimens of this species-of the gorge and the Bridge. Nature is apt to be belittled by this sort of display, but the noble dignity of the vast arch of stone was superior to this trifling, and even had a sort of mystery added to its imposing grandeur.
Knowing what strange specimens from the depths slip through the wide meshes of the watering-place world, he had foreseen that a meeting with the Baroness Adelschein was inevitable; but he had not expected her to become one of his wife's intimate circle.

When freshly broken, the blue specimens were beautifully iridescent, and showed tints such as are seen in the peacock's tail. There were several hundred more at the kraal, but they were still suffering from fever.
Those who have been raised to the business use this argot to such an extent, that a stranger finds it as impossible to understand them as he would if they were speaking in a foreign tongue. The Detectives' Manual gives a glossary of this language, from which we take the following specimens, to be found in that work, under the head of the letter B.: Badger. A panel-thief. Bagged. Imprisoned.
Some of the large vases, which were formerly filled with skulls and bones, are admirable in their designs and decorations; and many specimens are to be seen of the red and black ware of Cholula, which was famous at the time of the Conquest, and was sent to all parts of the country.
