The Glow-Worm and Other Beetles In the first, or Palæozoic division, we find corals, crustaceans, molluscs, fishes, and, in its later formations, a few reptiles. The Testimony of the Rocks or, Geology in Its Bearings on the Two Theologies, Natural and Revealed There are two principal types of molluscs which yield true pearls in commercial quantities. A Text-Book of Precious Stones for Jewelers and the Gem-Loving Public Pearls are concretions of lime carbonate of organic origin, and are found in the shells of certain species of molluscs. The Economic Aspect of Geology Fresh-water molluscs are unknown, and near the coast the marine fauna is not rich; but terrestrial molluscs abound, several species being peculiar to the Azores. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 1 "Austria, Lower" to "Bacon" The Snail and all the molluscs with turbinate shells increase the diameter of their corkscrew staircase by degrees, so that the last whorl is always an exact measure of their actual condition. The Glow-Worm and Other Beetles The period had also its corals, its crustaceans, its molluscs, its fishes, and in some one or two exceptional instances its dwarf mammals. The Testimony of the Rocks or, Geology in Its Bearings on the Two Theologies, Natural and Revealed The shell of the pearl-bearing mollusc is also composed of these two substances. A Text-Book of Precious Stones for Jewelers and the Gem-Loving Public Though molluscs and vertebrates have evolved separately, both have remained exposed to the influence of light. Creative Evolution A bivalve mollusc, Mya truncata, used as food in the Shetland Islands. The Sailor's Word-Book An Alphabetical Digest of Nautical Terms, including Some More Especially Military and Scientific, but Useful to Seamen; as well as Archaisms of Early Voyagers, etc. In the same way, the mollusc, for the most part a denizen of the seas, leads a blissful life in its shell, which is a defensive fortress rather than a garment. The Glow-Worm and Other Beetles Nor were the ancient crinoids less remarkable for the amount of nice contrivance which their structures exhibited, than the ancient molluscs or crustaceans. The Testimony of the Rocks or, Geology in Its Bearings on the Two Theologies, Natural and Revealed Other species of molluscs having pearly linings to their shells may produce pearls, but most of the pearls of commerce come from one or the other of the two varieties mentioned. A Text-Book of Precious Stones for Jewelers and the Gem-Loving Public Of course it is unlikely that the eye of the vertebrate and that of the mollusc have been built up by a series of variations due to simple chance. Creative Evolution A name applied to the shells of the Haliotis—a univalve mollusc found clinging like limpets to rocks; very abundant in Guernsey. The Sailor's Word-Book An Alphabetical Digest of Nautical Terms, including Some More Especially Military and Scientific, but Useful to Seamen; as well as Archaisms of Early Voyagers, etc. Here, on the edges of the mantle contracted by the fear of danger, the mollusc is vulnerable and incapable of defence. The Glow-Worm and Other Beetles Further, in a universal deluge, without special miracle vast numbers of even the salt water animals could not fail to be extirpated; in particular, almost all the molluscs of the littoral and laminarian zones. The Testimony of the Rocks or, Geology in Its Bearings on the Two Theologies, Natural and Revealed But dilation and contraction are for molluscs, not for men; we are not ringed into flexibility like worms, nor gifted with opposite sight and mutable color like chameleons. On the Old Road Vol. 1 (of 2) A Collection of Miscellaneous Essays and Articles on Art and Literature In the mollusc, on the contrary, the retina is derived from the ectoderm directly, and not indirectly by means of the embryonic encephalon. Creative Evolution The silken filaments of any of the bivalved molluscs which adhere to rocks, as the Pinna, Mytilus, &c. The Sailor's Word-Book An Alphabetical Digest of Nautical Terms, including Some More Especially Military and Scientific, but Useful to Seamen; as well as Archaisms of Early Voyagers, etc. This is a mere temporary halt, in which the mollusc is miserly with its adhesive product, and the merest shake is enough to loosen the shell and send it to the bottom of the jar. The Glow-Worm and Other Beetles The fresh water fishes, molluscs, crustacea, and zoophytes, could be kept alive in a universal deluge only by miraculous means. The Testimony of the Rocks or, Geology in Its Bearings on the Two Theologies, Natural and Revealed On the leaves, also, various shells, uncovered molluscs, and bivalves are attached. The Land of Fire A Tale of Adventure But it is a long way from that to the progressive development of an eye like that of the molluscs and of the vertebrates. Creative Evolution This multiform creation of the inner man, then, enfolds him and protects his spirit in its intellectual needs, just as the iridescent shell encloses the mollusc. Spontaneous Activity in Education A wash and brush-up is not superfluous when one leaves the tub in which the mollusc has been treated. The Glow-Worm and Other Beetles They feed not only on vegetables, but prey on living animals—river molluscs, and other water creatures. The Western World Picturesque Sketches of Nature and Natural History in North and South America It has an enormous head—hence one of its names, Loggerhead duck—with a hard powerful beak for smashing open the shells of molluscs, which form its principal food. The Land of Fire A Tale of Adventure The molluscs of that time had a shell more universally than those of to-day. Creative Evolution Spontaneous generation is nowadays rejected by science; but Aristotle went so far as to believe that insects, molluscs, and even eels, were spontaneously generated. Fathers of Biology He frequents the edges of the irrigating-ditches, with their cool soil, their varied vegetation, a favourite haunt of the mollusc. The Glow-Worm and Other Beetles In the Southern States we find another species of raccoon, somewhat larger than the former, who is addicted to eating molluscs and crustaceans, whether marine or terrestrial. The Western World Picturesque Sketches of Nature and Natural History in North and South America Doubtless some of them may have once lived in it, and eaten of the molluscs, the shells of which are piled upon the kitchen midden. The Land of Fire A Tale of Adventure Let us place side by side the eye of a vertebrate and that of a mollusc such as the common Pecten. Creative Evolution The trawl net repeatedly brought up from the sea bottom a very abundant yield of worms, molluscs, crustacea, &c. The Voyage of the Vega round Asia and Europe, Volume I and Volume II These molluscs carry their eggs, myriads in number, within their gills. Country Walks of a Naturalist with His Children The great development of mantle in the acephalous molluscs has rendered eyes, and even a head, entirely useless to them. Evolution, Old & New Or, the Theories of Buffon, Dr. Erasmus Darwin and Lamarck, as compared with that of Charles Darwin When it ends, possibly from the food supply having become exhausted, the mother bird leaves the little glutton to itself and scuttles off seaward to replenish her throat larder with a fresh stock of molluscs. The Land of Fire A Tale of Adventure But it is absolutely forced upon us when we observe the likeness of structure of the vertebrate eye and that of the molluscs. Creative Evolution But I see that you are still in your robes, and I have no doubt you look forward to a more substantial supper than a dish of molluscs fried in oil! Stradella This particular mollusc is known by the name of swan-mussel; the young fry are sent into the water in April and May. Country Walks of a Naturalist with His Children Dividing the vertebrate animals—as Linnæus had already divided them—into mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes, he divided the invertebrates into molluscs, insects, worms, echinoderms, and polyps. Evolution, Old & New Or, the Theories of Buffon, Dr. Erasmus Darwin and Lamarck, as compared with that of Charles Darwin There were a great variety of molluscs; indeed, the whole shore was composed of shells. A Voyage round the World A book for boys In this torpor the echinoderms and even the molluscs live to-day. Creative Evolution These are the cuttle fish, which have now surrendered their Aristotelian name of ‘molluscs’ to that greater group which is seen to include them, together with the shell-fish or ‘ostracoderma’ of Aristotle. The Legacy of Greece Essays By: Gilbert Murray, W. R. Inge, J. Burnet, Sir T. L. Heath, D'arcy W. Thompson, Charles Singer, R. W. Livingston, A. Toynbee, A. E. Zimmern, Percy Gardner, Sir Reginald Blomfield The world is my oyster, for that matter, but the edible mollusc is hidden, and the shell is uninviting. Cruel Barbara Allen From Coals Of Fire And Other Stories, Volume II. (of III.) Tümpel seems to imagine that the identification of the goddess with the argonaut and the octopus necessarily excludes her association with molluscs; and Dr. Rendel Harris attributes an equally exclusive importance to the mandrake. The Evolution of the Dragon As a mollusc is happy so long as the sea sweeps prey into its jaws; what does the mollusc care how many lives have been shipwrecked so long as the tide wafts it worms? Wisdom, Wit, and Pathos of Ouida Selected from the Works of Ouida For my part, I confess that I class among the molluscs men who, being their own masters, content themselves with eating, drinking, and sleeping, without performing any intellectual labour. French and Oriental Love in a Harem Like the shells of molluscs or the hives of bees, it is the direct embodiment of an idea, a purpose, only a conscious and reflective, not a merely instinctive purpose. The Legacy of Greece Essays By: Gilbert Murray, W. R. Inge, J. Burnet, Sir T. L. Heath, D'arcy W. Thompson, Charles Singer, R. W. Livingston, A. Toynbee, A. E. Zimmern, Percy Gardner, Sir Reginald Blomfield Previous to the researches of Mr. and Mrs. Bent, only forty-eight land and freshwater molluscs had been recorded from Sokotra. Southern Arabia Naturalists, however, designate with the term Venus Cytherea certain gaping bivalve molluscs. The Evolution of the Dragon In a short time the shell-fish were cooked, and we enjoyed our repast, though we should have been glad to have had some substitute for bread to eat with the molluscs. Saved from the Sea The Loss of the Viper, and her Crew's Saharan Adventures Near it was the large shell of the mollusc on another fire, where Nub had placed it to warm up its contents. The South Sea Whaler The women were seen going along the beach to the shore, or descending into the small canoes, we concluded either to fish, or to collect limpets or other molluscs from the rocks for food. In the Eastern Seas When the material, distilled in imperceptibly minute portions from the living mollusc, has chemically agglomerated round the original kernel, the pearl is made. The Parables of Our Lord “Pearls!” cried Carey, excitedly, and, forgetting all about the messiness of the great wet shapeless-looking mollusc, he used both finger and thumb. King o' the Beach A Tropic Tale “Yes,” said Lane, who had just covered his hook with the tough mussel-like mollusc he had drawn out of a shell. Fire Island Being the Adventures of Uncertain Naturalists in an Unknown Track When the doctor offered some to him and Dan, they both declared that the stewed mollusc was quite enough for them. The South Sea Whaler The arrack had been carried off, and the mollusc lay, entirely destroyed, on one side. In the Eastern Seas Our own Scottish rivers are frequented by a large bivalve mollusc, which produces true pearls, although their size and number have never been sufficient to attract capitalists or sustain a steady trade. The Parables of Our Lord The eyes of a mollusc would suffice, or those of infusoria, or even of a particle of protoplasm: living matter would become a condition of the existence of dead matter. The Mind and the Brain Being the Authorised Translation of L'Âme et le Corps Picking up the offending molluscs, he hurled them out again into the sea, and Bob grinned faintly. The Pirate Shark Dan finding it no longer necessary to perform the part of bellows, got up and surveyed the mollusc with infinite satisfaction. The South Sea Whaler Immediately a number of them rushed up, and began to bring out our stores of sago and dried mollusc, our cocoa-nuts, and other articles of food. In the Eastern Seas The molluscs lie bedded in the mud, with one edge above the ground, and that edge slightly open. The Parables of Our Lord July 10, 1820, he was present and made a report relative to madrepores and molluscs. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work In fact, all the varieties of the nervous system of molluscs fall into one or other of these three classes. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology He placed the pan between two stones in the way the mollusc had been fixed; and then hurrying to the doctor, brought him to see what he had done. The South Sea Whaler Sometimes one is found in the body of the mollusc itself, but it is generally in the shell. In the Eastern Seas The parallel obviously must be,—The good fishes that are enclosed within the net, or those that count themselves good, should not leap out because star-fish and molluscs are enclosed along with them. The Parables of Our Lord Already the collections of insects, crustacea, worms, molluscs, echinoderms, corals, etc., at the Museum were enormous. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work As early as 1791 Poli had seen the germinal vesicle in the eggs of molluscs, but the first adequate account was given by Purkinje. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology Fuel was then collected and arranged between the two piles of stone, and the mollusc being placed so that its edges rested on the top of them, the mate set fire to the wood. The South Sea Whaler I believe it is produced from a mollusc of some sort, on which the birds feed. In the Eastern Seas It is secreted by two of the arms, not by the mantle as other mollusc shells are. The Outline of Science, Vol. 1 (of 4) A Plain Story Simply Told How his work is still regarded by malacologists is shown by the following letter from our leading student of molluscs, Dr. W. H. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work The embryo of a Vertebrate might at a certain stage of development, be called a mollusc, if for instance, it had the heart of a mollusc. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology “I will undertake the cooking of the mollusc,” he said. The South Sea Whaler Our fire was out, and the number of flies collected round our mollusc made us doubtful whether we were not too late to preserve it from destruction. In the Eastern Seas The cuttlefishes are molluscs and may be regarded as the highest of the backboneless or Invertebrate animals. The Outline of Science, Vol. 1 (of 4) A Plain Story Simply Told He agrees with Cuvier in placing the molluscs at the head of the invertebrates, a course still pursued by some zoölogists at the present day. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work To this second group of animals, possessing the sentiment intérieur, belong the higher Invertebrates, notably insects and molluscs. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology “It is, I suspect, a large shell-fish; a mollusc, learned people call it; and if so, the creature will afford all hands an ample meal,” observed the mate. The South Sea Whaler I was still unwilling to attack the mollusc; but Macco, cutting off some slices, toasted them before the fire, and declared them very good. In the Eastern Seas Each individual from10 mollusc to man needs the amount and type of mind that serves to fit its possessor into its particular world of activity. The Mind and Its Education The elimination of the barnacles or Cirrhipedes from the molluscs was a decided step in advance, and was a proof of the acute observation and sound judgment of Lamarck. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work The bent form of the embryonic heart recalls the heart of spiders; it lies at first free, as in the mollusc Anomia. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology After the mollusc had been for some time exposed to the fire, he with a few strokes opened it, allowing each half to rest on the piles of stone. The South Sea Whaler He, however, tried a bit of the mollusc, but agreed that, unless more perfectly cooked, it was likely to prove very indigestible. In the Eastern Seas On the other hand a mind far above its possessor's station would prove useless if not a handicap; a mollusc could not use the mind of a man. The Mind and Its Education The Cirrhipedes have up to the present time been placed among the molluscs, but although certain of them closely approach them in some respects, they have a special character which compels us to separate them. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Nordenskjöld found the Siberian waters very rich in molluscs and other lower organisms, implying a corresponding abundance of larger animals. Russia As Seen and Described by Famous Writers As with the molluscs, so with the fish, we naturally find them usually associated with the water. Animal Figures in the Maya Codices I have since heard that the shells themselves, without the mollusc, weigh even more than that; indeed, I afterwards saw some in use of larger size. In the Eastern Seas But it is a pitiably dull and mollusc mind which finds no delight in peering through those Charm'd magic casements opening on the foam Of perilous seas in faery lands forlorn. Platform Monologues The adductor muscles of bivalve molluscs and crustaceans are, he shows plainly, the necessary consequence of the bivalvular condition. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cetacea, fishes, molluscs, and other marine organisms are cast up in such quantities along both sides of Bering Strait that the bears and other omnivorous creatures have here become very choice as to their food. Russia As Seen and Described by Famous Writers Her body, burning with a slow fever, drew away as it felt his touch, it shriveled like those timid molluscs that shrink and hide at the least touch. Woman Triumphant (La Maja Desnuda) From the centre he hung down the huge mollusc, so that the smoke might circle round it. In the Eastern Seas Human intelligence is certainly a product, and a late and highly organised product, of evolution; it ought apparently to be as much admired as the eyes of molluscs or the antennae of ants. Winds Of Doctrine Studies in Contemporary Opinion While Hyatt’s studies were chiefly on the ammonites, molluscs, and existing sponges, Cope was meanwhile at work on the batrachians. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Judging from the great thickness to which some oyster-shells have attained, this mollusc is capable, if left to its natural changes and unmolested, of attaining a patriarchal longevity. Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 431 Volume 17, New Series, April 3, 1852 A few molluscs, many kinds of worms, echinoderms, and their allies, crab and lobster-like creatures in innumerable different stages of development, are to be found there, while unnumbered polyps and jelly-fish are always present. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work He had cramped his fingers in a hole bored by the common mollusc, which honeycombs the rocks, and as he crouched he looked not particularly noble. The Romance of the Coast It is a rose-tinted volume from the first page to the last, so full of gay adventures that it would lure a mollusc from his shell. Americans and Others In the acephalous molluscs, the great development of the mantle of these molluscs has rendered their eyes and even their head entirely useless. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work It is strange how many of the grandest monuments are wrought out of the creations of primeval molluscs. Roman Mosaics Or, Studies in Rome and Its Neighbourhood Lankester's schematic mollusc differs from Huxley's archetypal mollusc only as a finished modern piece of mechanism, the final result of years of experiment, differs from the original invention. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work The few spiny plants in New Zealand may be for protection against land molluscs, of which there are several species as large as any in the tropics. Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences, Vol. 2 The fact that the eyes of insects and molluscs are transparent to us shows that the very same limited portion of the rays of the spectrum is utilised for vision by them as by us. Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences, Vol. 1 Once—after I was a protoplasm and a micro-organism, and a mollusc, and other things, I probably was a predatory animal—nice and sleek with velvet feet and shining incandescent eyes—and very, very predatory.... The Firing Line And all over his person could be seen conchs and other molluscs attached with their heads. The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, Volume 4 Books 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 He was an ardent botanist, a collector of insects and molluscs, and one of the pioneers in the anatomy of birds. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work Each mollusc cuts a series of augur-holes from two to four inches deep, and so assists in destroying the bulwarks of England. Vanishing England I think you will have to modify your belief about the difficulty of dispersal of land molluscs; I was interrupted when beginning to experimentise on the just-hatched young adhering to the feet of ground-roosting birds. Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences, Vol. 1 You scrape even a spineless mollusc too long with a pin, and the irritation produces a defensive crust. The Firing Line His tongue appearing like a disturbed mollusc waved its tip slowly round in an agonized endeavour to give utterance to such familiar words as "yes" or "no." The Altar Steps It was a treatise on the structure of the great group of molluscs, and displays in a striking fashion his method of handling anatomical facts, and deducing from them the great underlying principles of construction. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work Yet hardly one of its mammals, reptiles, or land molluscs has undergone the slightest change, even although there is certainly a distinct difference in the environment both inorganic and organic. Darwinism (1889) Within twenty-four hours every fish, coral, and mollusc in the part impregnated with this discoloring substance—probably hydrosulphuric or carbonic acid died. Lippincott's Magazine, August, 1885 Nor does the poet "Refuse to follow farther yet I' the backwardness, repine if tree and flower, Mountain or streamlet were my dwelling-place Before I gained enlargement, grew mollusc." Browning as a Philosophical and Religious Teacher The banks of Aripo are not the only localities, nor is the acicula the only mollusc, by which pearls are furnished. Sketches of the Natural History of Ceylon The anatomy of many of the cephalous molluscs was known, but the relation of structures present in one to structures present in another group had not been settled. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work Among these some took to feeding on the borders of clear streams, picking out such larvae and molluscs as they could reach in shallow water. Darwinism (1889) To reduce the table within limits, I have grouped together all the lower forms of life in the animal table, viz., the sponges, corals, encrinites, and molluscs. Creation and Its Records The immovable mollusc does not reason about the choice of its home. De Orbe Novo, Volume 1 (of 2) The Eight Decades of Peter Martyr D'Anghera The animals from which they proceed have not been identified at either of these places, and the mystery remains unsolved, whether the sounds at Batticaloa are given forth by fishes or by molluscs. Sketches of the Natural History of Ceylon This archetypal mollusc of Huxley's was a creature with a bilaterally symmetrical head and body. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work There he is now—coming up to the full estate of manhood by the various stages of protozoon, amoeba, mollusc, fish, reptile, bird, mammal, Man. The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, Volume 01 Masterpieces of German Literature Translated into English. On the leaves, also, various patelliform shells, Trochi, uncovered molluscs, and some bivalves are attached. The Voyage of the Beagle It is your soft and silken mollusc type of woman whose mind pursues a slimy and labyrinthine trail. Fanny Herself Here is a direct chain of events with a sick mollusc for its first link, and a gallows for its last one. The Captain of the Polestar He shewed how the widely different groups of cephalous molluscs could be conceived as modifications of this structure, and extended the conception so as to cover all other molluscs. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work The mollusc itself is often eaten, and dried for consumption in China and Japan. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 They are formed alone in the tissue of the mollusc, are white, often opaque, and sometimes have the transparency of an opal; they are generally round or oval. Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea He has collected the rock fauna, especially the molluscs, fossil and modern. To the Gold Coast for Gold A Personal Narrative in Two Volumes.—Volume I Of two kinds of water snail found in the Thames, and among the commonest molluscs, one is a vegetable feeder. The Naturalist on the Thames This last will assuredly be broken again and yet again, so long as the British Resident occupies the position of an official mollusc. Cetywayo and his White Neighbours Remarks on Recent Events in Zululand, Natal, and the Transvaal Myriads of little holes dotted the sand, which he knew to be the indications of these molluscs, and he at once began to scoop in the sand with his hands. Cord and Creese These graceful molluscs moved backwards by means of their locomotive tube, through which they propelled the water already drawn in. Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea Down in the mud an organised conflict was taking place between a tiny soft-bodied crab and four molluscs which used whip-like tentacles with unceasing energy, while the crab defended itself with ever-ready claws. Tropic Days Thus the May-flies and beetles are perhaps older than the Thames shells, and older than the prehistoric plants on which the river molluscs feed. The Naturalist on the Thames In its flurry it must have disturbed one of the dye-secreting molluscs, which had escaped my notice, for in a few seconds the water was richly imbued. My Tropic Isle The coast about El-Wijh is famed for shells; the numerous reefs and shoals favouring the development of the molluscs. The Land of Midian — Volume 2 The shore was strewn with molluscs, little mussels, and limpets. Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea So many molluscs produce pearls that it would be absurd for the great oyster family to set up exclusive rights. Tropic Days A play with a well-marked, well-balanced act-structure is a higher artistic organism than a play with no act-structure, just as a vertebrate animal is higher than a mollusc. Play-Making A Manual of Craftsmanship In maturity the mollusc weighs several pounds, its shell has a capacity for as much as two gallons of water, and is coloured uniformly buff, while in old age infantile milk-white reasserts itself. My Tropic Isle Your mollusc, on the contrary, is inwardly objecting to every other grade of solid rather than to himself. Impressions of Theophrastus Such After several fruitless attempts the crew tried to pass a slip-knot round the body of the mollusc. Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea The substance of a sensation—the consolidation of discomfort on the part of an oyster or other nacre-secreting mollusc. Tropic Days The Plaice has strong, blunt teeth in its throat, and is well able to grind up the shells of Cockles and other molluscs, swallowing the juicy contents. Within the Deep Cassell's "Eyes and No Eyes" Series, Book VIII. It becomes a club-footed cripple, its feet adherent by agglutination or fusion to a rock or other and larger mollusc, dead or alive. My Tropic Isle Some of these molluscs do not build shells. On the Seashore There also are heaped up those erratic blocks which are carried along by the broken ice; and close by, a vast charnel-house of molluscs, which perish here by millions. Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea The fact that molluscs do intern foreign and obnoxious substances is testimony to their decency and love of cleanliness, and so may the pearl be still accepted as the embodiment of purity. Tropic Days The Octopus belongs to an order of molluscs with a long name, which only means head-footed. Within the Deep Cassell's "Eyes and No Eyes" Series, Book VIII. The sponge embraces the slender mollusc so maternally that rude yawning is forbidden. My Tropic Isle There are other molluscs which find their meals in this strange manner, and many others which, like the Periwinkle, feed more easily on seaweed. On the Seashore What a freak of nature, a bird's beak on a mollusc! Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea That some huge molluscs produced pearls before man, with his faculty for admiration, came on the scene is proved by their existence as fossils in chalk. Tropic Days In this strange order of molluscs there are dwarfs and giants. Within the Deep Cassell's "Eyes and No Eyes" Series, Book VIII. Experimentally I have placed these molluscs in fresh water, to find it quickly dyed to a rich amber colour while acquiring quite remarkable pungency. My Tropic Isle In the last lesson we called them bi-valve molluscs, which is only another way of saying "soft-bodied animals with two shells." On the Seashore For nearly an hour the Nautilus floated in the midst of this shoal of molluscs. Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea Or an inoffensive mollusc may be goaded by the piercing of its shell from the exterior to create that for which men venture into the depths of the sea. Tropic Days But there are such numbers of molluscs that we split them up into different orders, just as a big school is split into classes. Within the Deep Cassell's "Eyes and No Eyes" Series, Book VIII. Its agitated demonstrations—whatever their vital purpose may be—to the superficial observer are danger signals, a means of self-preservation, as a substitute for the hard calcareous armour bestowed upon other molluscs. My Tropic Isle The Snail, and other one-shelled molluscs, poke their heads out of the shell when feeding or moving. On the Seashore A somewhat nervous conchyliologist would certainly have fainted before other more numerous cases, in which were classified the specimens of molluscs. Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea Several molluscs admit tenants, one particular species a rotund crab; but in the case in point the wrong mansion was entered and, so to speak, the obtruder was transformed. Tropic Days What is the meaning of the words "mollusc" and "octopus"? Within the Deep Cassell's "Eyes and No Eyes" Series, Book VIII. It is a rotund mollusc with frail white valves, closely fitting the cavity in which it lives. My Tropic Isle Another mollusc used as food is the Cockle, and its shell is one of the commonest found along the shore, especially near sandy places. On the Seashore To the fine sand succeeded a perfect causeway of boulders, covered with a carpet of molluscs and zoophytes. Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea The best of modern prizes may be puny in comparison with those which caused distress to the giant molluscs of the age when the Ichthyosaurus, Plesiosaurus, and Pterodactylus were the aristocrats of the animal world. Tropic Days An ancient invention, its precursor has been identified in worms and molluscs and even among the starfish. The Glands Regulating Personality He may also inspect with profit the handicraft of a lowly mollusc which agglutinates sand-grains into a kind of plaque, in the substance of which numerous eggs are deposited. My Tropic Isle The crab, and other crustaceans, also have a hard covering to their soft bodies; but it is not at all like the shell of a Snail, or other mollusc. On the Seashore Each year the secretions of the mollusc would add new concentric circles. Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea Among the fixed molluscs are what is known as the winged shells, to which the "pearl oysters" belong. Tropic Days So that you have all the Fauna reduced, at this period, to four forms: one a kind of animal or plant that we know nothing about, and three undoubted animals—two crustaceans and one mollusc. Darwiniana : Essays — Volume 02 Opacity is primarily manifested at the aperture of the infant mollusc where a seeming resemblance to an operculum forms, possibly for the protection of vital organs during nascency. My Tropic Isle In our coloured pictures you see many different kinds of shells, some of them built by uni-valve molluscs and some by bi-valve molluscs. On the Seashore The long serpent, covered with the remains of shells, bristling with foraminiferae, was encrusted with a strong coating which served as a protection against all boring molluscs. Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea Though there are grounds for the belief that some molluscs are seasonal in their appearances and disappearances, the majority are always with us, though subject to many casualties. Tropic Days And as he walked to the fifteenth tee, after winning the fourteenth, he felt that this was Life, that till now he had been a mere mollusc. The Man Upstairs and Other Stories The pictures illustrate isolated scenes in the life-history of the mollusc, which in a certain sense offers a solution to, the conundrum stated by job "Who, hath begotten the drops of dew?" My Tropic Isle He prefers to eat other molluscs--he is carnivorous, a flesh-eater; but these other molluscs do not wait to be eaten. On the Seashore They were classed by Linne with the worms, and by later zoologists, with the fishes, or the amphibia, or the molluscs. The Evolution of Man — Volume 2 In April many specimens of the mollusc known as Tapes, of which there are several species, are cast ashore, empty but fresh. Tropic Days Cuvier and Baer set up four of these types: the vertebrates, articulates, molluscs, and radiates.
