These papers deserve careful study by any one who desires to learn how frequently our muscles vary, and in varying come to resemble those of the Quadrumana. The following references relate to the few points touched on in my text: 'Proc. Royal Soc. vol. xiv. 1865, pp. 379-384; vol. xv. 1866, pp. 241, 242; vol. xv. 1867, p. 544; vol. xvi. 1868, p. 524. I may here add that Dr. Murie and Mr. St.

"I know all that, my dear fellow, but " and he hesitated, as though fearing to take his friend into his confidence. "But what?" "Well but there, no! You'd laugh at me if I told you the real reason of my uneasiness." "I certainly won't, my dear Hamilton," Murie assured him. "We are friends to-day, dear old chap, just as we were at college.

"Certainly it's a curious fact that Walter Murie is in Paris," remarked the other. "Was the revelation of your financial dealings made in Paris, do you know?" "Yes, it was," snapped the blind man. "I believed Walter to be quite a good young fellow." "Ah, I knew different, Sir Henry. His life up in London was not well, not exactly all that it should be. He's in with a rather shady crowd."

Do you know, Goslin," he added, in a changed voice, "I live nowadays somehow in constant apprehension." "You've never possessed the same self-confidence since you found Mademoiselle Gabrielle with the safe open," he remarked. "No. Murie, or some other man she knows, must have induced her to do that, and take copies of those documents.

Again, not a few animals, after arriving at maturity, go on changing in character during nearly their whole lives. With mammals, for instance, the form of the skull is often much altered with age, of which Dr. Murie has given some striking instances with seals.

Stokes the chauffeur had driven Murie and Hamilton in the car down to the village, where the last-named, after a conversation with the police inspector, went to the "Strathavon Arms," together with two constables who happened to be off duty, in plain clothes.

With Ruminants sexual differences of colour occur more commonly than in any other order. We have seen that in this species the crests and tufts of hair are likewise more developed in the male than in the hornless female. I am informed by Mr.

Shortly after our arrival at the Consulate, a vessel returned from his party with unfavourable accounts; they had started too late in the season, owing to some difficulties in procuring boats, and the change of wind to the south, with violent rain, had caused great suffering, and had retarded their progress.

Hamilton had recognised you as Gerlach, and you therefore formed a plot to get rid of him and throw the crime upon my poor unfortunate daughter, even though she was scarcely more than a child. In all probability, Lady Heyburn, in telling the girl the story regarding Murie and Miss Bryant, believed it, and if so she would also suspect my daughter to be the actual criminal."

The guests were the same who came up there every year, some of them friends of Sir Henry in the days of his brilliant career, others friends of his wife. The shooting at Glencardine was always excellent; and Stewart, wise and serious, had prophesied first-class sport. Walter Murie was in London.
