Examining them with moderately high powers, we seé two membranous cushions or palms (pulvilti) between the hooks on each, covered with minute hairs, each terminating in bulbous extremities,from whith exudes a viscid, tenacious fluid. As the fly endeavors to free itself from its close quarters, you will fiotice the tenacity with which each individual Glament clings to the glass cover, and that they are bent backward along the line of direction Mi Which the foot is being slowly withdrawn, muck in the wanter that the bristles ef a brush are bent when it is drawn along. some hard sub; stance. When the foot is suddétily lifted, you may see a dotted. pattern of the pulwilli marked on the glass in the fuid left behind from the extremity of each hairy filament. From the xesults of a seriesof varied and long continued experiments, all ofwhieh poiytto the same end, it is now coneeded. that these hundreds they are with: a glutinous substance poured out in minute quantities, are the organs of adbesion. When all the hairs have the strain on them they suffice to support the insect, but each row may be removed separately, which the tarsus is raised. The two little hooks or. claws aid, no doubt very niaterially, in traversing }surfaces that are apparently qeite smooth, by grasping. irregularities we can notice; and—by drawing a fly backward upou the band, we perceive by the senses of both seeing and feeling, that they take hold quite effectively. It is bardly worth while to say more on.the-sabject, as it would be going over a mass of details which are familiar to you all; bat with the fact so patent to every one that the ideas absorded by the youthful mind regarding, the science of common things are more lasting than any not to teach a proven falsity to the thousands of our sehool childrea, it seems to me that some steps should taken to so conrect this popular error that dames, William aud.
