A brief summary of the facts regarding parasitism among birds will be found in Girod's Les Sociétés chez les Animaux, 1891, pp. 287-294. The Rhodius anarus, a fish of European rivers, also ensures a quiet retreat for his offspring by a method which is not less indiscreet.

"Je ne veux pas dire pour cela que les animaux qui existent forment une serie tres-simple et partout egalement nuancee; mais je dis qu'ils forment une serie ramense, irregulierement graduee et qui n'a point de discontinuite dans ses parties, ou qui, du moins, n'en a toujours pas eu, s'il est vrai que, par suite de quelques especes perdues, il s'en trouve quelque part.
Ernest Lefevre, who was dining beside me: De ces bons animaux la viande me fait mal. J'aime tant les chevaux que je hais le cheval. February 4. The weather is becoming milder. A crowd of visitors this evening. Proclamation by Gambetta. February 5. The list of candidates of the Republican journals appeared this morning. I am at the head of the list. Bancal is dead.
Boileau declaims as follows against human reason in his "Satire on Man:" "Cependant a le voir plein de vapeurs legeres, Soi-meme se bercer de ses propres chimeres, Lui seul de la nature est la baze et l'appui, Et le dixieme ciel ne tourne que pour lui.

Who knows, perhaps he only loves that edifice from a distance, and is by no means in love with it at close quarters; perhaps he only loves building it and does not want to live in it, but will leave it, when completed, for the use of LES ANIMAUX DOMESTIQUES such as the ants, the sheep, and so on. Now the ants have quite a different taste.
They are bred for the cart, and are called "chiens de traite," so that the charge of cruelty upon the part of ignorant tourists may be dismissed as untrue. There is a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, and it is not unusual to see its sign displayed in the market places, with the caution "Traitez les animaux avec douceur."
What in the ordinary man of science is caution, becomes cowardice in the Catholic. We shall find another example of this in the case of Buffon (1707-1788) often cited as that of a man who believed all that Darwin believed and one hundred years before Darwin, and who yet was afraid to say it because of the Church to which he belonged. This mistake is partly due to that lamentable ignorance of Catholic teaching, not to say that lamentable incapacity for clear thinking, on these matters, which afflicts some non-Catholic writers.
