In the snail its normal temperature is about the same as the water, and being a poor heat producer it is not surprising that when the water grows colder the animal is forced to succumb; but it is a remarkable fact that warm-blooded animals like many of the above-mentioned, whose bodies are maintained by internal processes at a high temperature of 26 deg. to 38 deg., are incapable of resisting the lowering influence of cold.

Croll, in his great work on "Climate and Time," conceives it possible that it should extend, in any glacial epoch, is to 55A deg., or about the northern boundary of England.
The party passed the Casa degli Inglesi, which registered a temperature of 31 deg., and then continued the ascent on foot for the crater. A magnificent view of sunrise was here obtained.
