Prawns and shrimps furnish delicacies for the breakfast table; and the delicate little pea crab, Pontonia inflata , recalls its Mediterranean congener , which attracted the attention of Aristotle, from taking up its habitation in the shell of the living pinna. Nat.
The girl gave back look for look, into the big, hard, unwavering circles. "You're a funny little bird," said she. "Say something!" Like his congener of the hortatory poem, the owl held his peace. "Perhaps you're a stuffed little bird," said Io, "and this not a real desert at all, but a National Park or something, full of educational specimens."
I can speak for one, at all events; and he always has an ear open for it by the middle of April. It is the voice of a friend, a friend so true and gentle and confiding that we do not care to ask whether his voice be smooth and his speech eloquent. The chipper's congener, the field sparrow, is less neighborly than he, but a much better musician.
The teeth those great friends of the closet naturalist, which help him to whole pages of speculation have enabled him to separate the beaver from the musquash, although the whole history and habits of these creatures prove them to be congeners, as much as a mastiff is the congener of a greyhound indeed, far more. So like are they in a general sense, that the Indians call them "cousins."
The Mpongwe appellation for its new congener is 'Enge-ena', prolonging the sound of the first vowel, and slightly sounding the second. "The habitat of the 'Enge-ena' is the interior of lower Guinea, whilst that of the 'Enche-eko' is nearer the sea-board.
A few minutes and the Philistines are upon him. Burnside's or Remington's last patent again lifts up its voice, and the triumph of civilization is complete. The prairie Indian, unlike his congener of the woods, has as yet been but partially able to substitute gunpowder for the bow.
All three belong to a well-marked division of the Indo-European speech, to which the name of Italic is given. Its nearest congener is the Hellenic, the next most distant being the Celtic. The Hellenic and Italic may thus be called sister languages, the Celtic standing in the position of cousin to both, though, on the whole, more akin to the Italic.
In the valley of the Yellowstone, which has but lately been much visited by the white man, Hayden saw stumps of trees thirty inches in diameter which had been cut down by beavers. Geological Survey of Wyoming, p. 135. The American beaver closely resembles his European congener, and I believe most naturalists now regard them as identical.
Ah! if they could but be kept quiet and still, nor slip their usual harmless masks to encourage with their interest the last speed of their most deadly congener. What shape had they? Should he ever know? If it were not that he was bound to compel the fell Thing that ran before him into her truer form, he might face about and follow them.
The Indian pipit affects open country and seems never to perch in trees. Wherever there is a grassy plain this species is found. Like the English skylark, it rises to a great height in the air, and there pours forth its fine song. To the ordinary observer the Indian skylark is indistinguishable from its European congener.
