"Ye have lied to us, O Black Panther of the Mazawattees and thou, too, Squirrel of the Moning Congos. These also, Pussy Ferox of the Phiteezi, and Bobs of the Cape Mounted Police, these also have lied to us, if not with their tongues, yet by their silence. Ye have lied under the cover of the Truce-flag of the Pale-face. Ye have no followers. Your tribes are far away following the hunting trail.
Intolerantia, al. tolerantia, but without MS. authority. Incuria is negligence. Intolerantia is insufferable arrogance, severity, in a word intolerance. So Cic.: superbia atque intolerantia. Quae timebatur. And no wonder, since ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant, 30. Multus, al. militum. Multus in the recent editions. Multus==frequens, cf. Sal. Jug. 84: multus ac ferox instare.
Quo audito, ferox exit Tarentula ut muscas vel alia hujus modi insecta, quorum murmur esse putat, captat; captatur tamen ista a rustico insidiatore." 'The Tarantula, so dreadful at first sight, especially when we are filled with the idea that her bite is dangerous, so fierce in appearance, is nevertheless quite easy to tame, as I have often found by experiment.
And I perceived, suddenly, that the dull melancholy of half a year was lifted from my mind. Until the extraordinary affair at Sidmouth, the peculiar species Haploteuthis ferox was known to science only generically, on the strength of a half-digested tentacle obtained near the Azores, and a decaying body pecked by birds and nibbled by fish, found early in 1896 by Mr. Jennings, near Land's End.
Cato the consul, to secure some cities of Spain from revolt, only interdicting the inhabitants from wearing arms, a great many killed themselves: "Ferox gens, nullam vitam rati sine armis esse."
All this is pleasant, but all this attracts multitudes of anglers, and it is not in nature that sport should be what it once was. Of the famous salmo ferox I cannot speak from experience. The huge courageous fish is still at home in Loch Awe, but now he sees a hundred baits, natural and artificial, where he saw one in Mr. Colquhoun's time.
Now she doubles up her perambulator with her children in it, but she never doubled up him. 'As to your sister, tell her from me that she is all right. She has made herself his widow, she is the Dowager Lady Errand. 'The fact is, the Live Mermaid was never alive at all! She was a put-up thing of waxwork and a stuffed salmo ferox.
Of all these designations, that of "snow bear" appears the most characteristic, since it avoids the risk of a confusion of names the other titles being equally bestowed upon certain varieties of the ursus americanus and ursus ferox.
Then the men came with their long poles, with which they formed a sort of litter, and off they carried poor Bruin in triumph. It was certainly much pleasanter examining him now he was made fast than when he was at liberty. We were told that his strength is so great that he can, without difficulty, overcome the huge bison whom he meets with in the plains. The doctor called him the Ursus ferox.
Now, however, science admits but one species, though, to such well-defined varieties as the Loch Leven trout, the estuarine trout and the gillaroo, it concedes the right to separate names and "races." In effect all, from the great ferox of the big lakes of Scotland and Ireland to the little fingerling of the Devonshire brook, are one and the same Salmo fario. Wet-Fly Fishing for Trout.
