I must also express my gratitude to M. Henri Bergson, Professor Bouvier, and the learned M. Paul Marchal for the advice and the valuable suggestions which they offered me during the preparation of this book. I shall feel fully repaid for my pains if this "Life" of one of the greatest of the world's naturalists, by enabling men to know him better, also leads them to love him the more.
It is free to introduce its sting into any part of the body, and yet with extreme certainty it strikes the two ganglions already mentioned. "Étude sur l'Instinct et les Metamorphoses des Sphégiens," Ann. Sc. Nat., iv. Série, t. 6, 1856. P. Marchal, "Observations sur l'Ammophila affinis," Arch. de Zool. expér. et génér., ii. Série, t. 10, 1892.
I send you back your handkerchief which you left in the carriage. It is surely tomorrow THURSDAY that we dine together? I have written to the big Marchal to come to Magny's too. Your troubadour G. Sand Wednesday morning. CXXVIII. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Paris, Tuesday, 5 October, 1869 Where are you now, my dear troubadour?
I have packed and sent by EXPRESS a good proof of Couture's picture, signed by the engraver, my poor friend, Manceau. It is the best that I have and I have only just found it. I have sent with it a photograph of a drawing by Marchal which was also like me; but one changes from year to year.
Paul Marchal, "Observations sur l'Ammophila affinis," Arch. de Zool. exp. et génér., ii. Série, t. x., 1892. Similar cases in which the specific instinct is less powerful and individual initiative greater. Here is, for instance, the case of the Chlorion, where each animal possesses more considerable initiative. It attacks the Cockroach.
Again, M. Paul Marchal, taking up the study of instinct in the Cerceris ornata, has shown that in this species at least of Sphegidæ the stings have not so considerable an effect. This insect attacks a wild bee, the Halictus.
The Queen replied that Marchal de Grammont was sent to release them and to see to their necessary security for the public tranquillity, but that she had sent for them in relation to another affair, which the Keeper of the Seals would explain to them, and which he couched in a sanguinary manifesto, in substance as follows: "All the reports made by the Coadjutor in Parliament are false, and invented by him.
Marchal de Calvi mentions intermittent deafness for forty years, caused by the lodgment of a small foreign body in the auditory canal. There is an instance in which a carious molar tooth has been tolerated in the same location for forty years.
Napoleon had good reasons to expect that the 28th. would be the decisive day. He was resolved to save the army or to perish with it. Taking the greatest pains to deceive Tchitchakoff as long as possible he ordered Marchal Victor to leave the division Partouneaux, which had been reduced by marches and fights from 12 thousand to 4 thousand combatants, at Borisow.
Another observer, Paul Marchal, took up this question afresh, and the results which he obtained seemed to indicate an instinct much less firm than earlier studies tended to show. "Histoire des Cerceris," Ann. Sc. Nat., ii. Série, t. xv., 1841, pp. 353-370. Arch. de Zool. exp., 1887. Genera less skilful in the art of paralysing victims.
