They are, however, represented in these regions by very closely allied, but distinct forms the Homarus Americanus and the Homarus Capensis: so that we may say that the European has one species of Homarus; the American, another; the African, another; and thus the remarkable facts of geographical distribution begin to dawn upon us.
Quadruped; seen by star-light, and by the aid of a pocket-lamp, in the prairies of North America see Journal for Latitude and Meridian. Genus unknown; therefore named after the discoverer, and from the happy coincidence of being seen in the evening Vespertilio Horribilis, Americanus.
They had been fortunate, upon their route, to procure a skin of the "cinnamon" bear as well as one of black colour with a white breast, both of which Alexis was able to identify as mere varieties of the ursus americanus.
If they could have held their peace I might have gone home puzzled; but the crow is in one respect a very polite bird: he will seldom fly over your head without letting fall the compliments of the morning, and a vigorous caw, caw soon proclaimed my black gulls to be simply erratic specimens of Corvus Americanus. Why were they conducting thus strangely?
The male of the Gold pheasant, as I hear from Mr. Thus the Ibis tantalus and Grus americanus take four years, the Flamingo several years, and the Ardea ludovicana two years, before they acquire their perfect plumage. They apply, however, as far as I can judge, to a considerable majority of the species; and we must not forget the striking generalisation by Dr.
It is now ascertained, however, not only that these two are specifically distinct, but that in North America there exist two other species, differing from the Cygnus Americanus, and from each other. The common American species is of a pure white, with black hill, logs, and feet.
But, collected into herds, they gather delusions that are special to herds. Beside the underlying mass thinking there is a superimposed group thinking a sort of unintelligent class consciousness. This we may prod into. This, in the case of the Homo americanus, is what is prodded into in the present work. We perform, it seems to us, a useful pioneering.
The Barren Ground bear, then, is not the ursus arctos, americanus, or ferox. What then? Has he received no specific name from the naturalists? Not yet. Alexis, however, bestowed one upon him. He named him after the man who has given the clearest account of his country and his habits; and whom Alexis deemed most worthy of the honour. In his journal we find the record.
The man's again I don't mean Ralph I mean the genus he belongs to: homo sapiens, Americanus. Why haven't we taught our women to take an interest in our work? Simply because we don't take enough interest in THEM." Mrs. Fairford, sinking back into her chair, sat gazing at the vertiginous depths above which his thought seemed to dangle her. "YOU don't?
And what differentiates our spook Spiritus Americanus from the ordinary ghost of literature is that it responds to the American sense of humour. Take Irving's stories for example. The Headless Horseman, that's a comic ghost story. And Rip Van Winkle consider what humour, and what good-humour, there is in the telling of his meeting with the goblin crew of Kendrick Hudson's men!
