Página 54 - Neither the love of the picturesque, however, nor the interests of science, could tempt us into the woods, so terrible were the black flies. This pest of flies which all the way hither had confined our ramblings on shore pretty closely to the rocks and the beach, and had been growing constantly worse and worse, here reached its climax. Although detained nearly two days, yet we could only sit with folded hands, or employ ourselves in arranging specimens, and such other occupations as could be pursued...

With respect to the irregular accumulation of drift-materials in the north, I may add that there is not only no indication of stratification among them, such, unquestionably, as water would have left, but that the very nature of these materials shows plainly that they are of terrestrial origin ; for the mud which sticks between them adheres to all the little roughnesses of the pebbles, fills them out, and has the peculiar adhesive character...

The next morning his head and neck were swollen as if from an attack of erysipelas.
Página 6 - Principles of Zoology,* hardly requires commendation to give it currency. The public have become acquainted with the eminent abilities of Prof. Agassiz through his lectures, and are aware of his vast learning, wide reach of mind, and popular mode of illustrating scientific subjects. In the preparation of this work, he has had an able coadjutor in Dr. AA Gould, a frequent contributor to the Transactions of the Boston Society of Natural History, and at present engaged upon the department of Conchology,...

Occasionally you come upon a silent, solitary pigeon sitting upon a dead bough ; or a little troop of gold-crests and chickadees, with their cousins of Hudson's Bay, comes drifting through the tree-tops.
