During all this time the local government made unremitting efforts to obtain relief, and seems to have used pecuniary as well as legal arguments to effect its purpose; at all events, it finally secured a majority in the Privy Council, who reversed Winthrop v. Lechmere, in Clark v. Tousey. The same question was raised in Massachusetts in 1737, in Phillips v. Coll. Rec. vii. 191, note; Proc. Mass.
O supreme mistress, queen of Babylon, may thy liver be pacified. O supreme mistress, whose name is Nanâ, may thy heart be at rest. O mistress of the house, lady of the gods, may thy liver be pacified. Abel-Winckler, Keilschrifttexte, p. 33, col. iii. ll. 52-58. Ball, Proc. Soc. Bibl. Arch. xi. 124 seq. Annals, Cylinder B, col. v. ll. 30-46.
In 1857 a tiger at Bromwich broke into the cage of a lion and a fearful scene ensued: "the lion's mane saved his neck and head from being much injured, but the tiger at last succeeded in ripping up his belly, and in a few minutes he was dead." 'The Times, Nov. 10, 1857. Dr. Murie, on Otaria, 'Proc. Zoolog. Soc. 1869, p. 109. Mr.
Taking advantage of the space of the plate, figures of the following species from the same country, which have not hitherto been illustrated have been added. They were described or noticed in the list before referred to. Cystignathus dorsalis, t. 1. f. 2. Phryniscus Australis, t. 2. f. 1. DUM. AND BIB. E. GEN. viii. 725. Bombinator Australis, GRAY, PROC. ZOOL. SOC. 1838. 57. III. Mr.
The brief account is by Professor Baldwin Spencer and Mr. F.J. Gillen, Proc. Royal Soc. Victoria, July 1897. Carr's work, The Australian Race, reports of 'godless' natives are given, for instance, in the Mary River country and in Gippsland. These reports are usually the result of the ignorance or contempt of white observers, cf. Tylor, i. 419.
The author is therefore inclined to concur with Sir A. Geikie in assigning to the granite of the Mourne Mountains, and the representative felsitic rocks of the Carlingford Mountains, a Tertiary age in which case the analogy between the volcanic phenomena of the Inner Hebrides and of the North-east of Ireland would seem to be complete.

As all these pieces were pretty certainly produced in Roman times, the early intercourse seems an inadequate cause. See also Curle, Newstead, p. 319, and R.A. Smith, Proc. Soc. Ant. Soc. Antiq. The contrast between this Romano-British civilization and the native culture which preceded it can readily be seen if we compare for a moment a Celtic village and a Romano-British village.
The tail often differs remarkably in length within the same genus: thus in some species of Macacus it is longer than the whole body, and is formed of twenty-four vertebrae; in others it consists of a scarcely visible stump, containing only three or four vertebrae. Mr. St. George Mivart, 'Proc. Zoolog. Soc. 1865, pp. 562, 583. Dr. J.E. Gray, 'Cat. Brit.
Different tones are emitted by the feathers of the different species when waved through the air; and the Scolopax Wilsonii of the United States makes a switching noise whilst descending rapidly to the earth. See M. Meves' interesting paper in 'Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858, p. 199. For the habits of the snipe, Macgillivray, 'History of British Birds, vol. iv. p. 371. For the American snipe, Capt.
