, called Natal by the Portuguese, because they discovered it on Christmas Day, is destitute of good harbours, and little frequented; being inhabited by negroes who are thought to be inhospitable to strangers, and the coast generally sterile near the sea, there is no inducement for any ship to touch here. The River St. John's falls into the sea, between the first and middle points of Natal, Christian's River on the south side of the latter point, and Ant's River, and Bloody River, between it and

FOSSIL INVRRTEBRATED ANIMALS. 493 The fossil Insects, to which the name of entomolites has been given, are found either in amber or in fissile stones. The first are perfectly preserved in all their parts, and even the species may be recognised. In this substance flies have been found, tipulae, ichneumons, ants, c. M. de France mentions a piece of amber, about the thickness of one's thumb, and somewhat flattish, in which twenty-eight insects were distinctly to be seen, such as ants, tipulse

ashore from a sea voyage recover rapidly. Here are neither ants, musquitoes, nor any of the tormenting insects so common in tropical climates; no beast of prey, no destructive worm nor serpent; even the scorpion (of which a small sort is to be met with) here loses its poison. The only plague of this kind is a large rat, which does much mischief in the fields, and sometimes even bites the Tahaitians during their sleep. Bougainville says, The inhabitants of Tahaiti consist of two distinct races

numbers of them, locked so closely together, that they seemed to form a bridge of boats, serving for a market well stocked with fruits and pigs, and swarming with human beings as thick as ants on an anthill: they were all in high spirits, and with many jests extolled the goods they brought, making much more noise than all the traffic of the London Exchange. Even on our own deck we could only make ourselves heard by screaming in each other's ears. Our bartering trade proceeded, however, to our mutual

We obtained three sorts of Catascopus, nineteen aquatic Scarabæus, six Hydrophilus, five Buprestis, five Melolontha, four Anomala. Scarabæus Gideon is found in great abundance in the thick bushes, where it climbs up the branches by means of its long legs and large claws.

They describe the torment which the planter and the naturalist suffer from the musquitoes, and the devastation of the ants and blattae; they speak of the dangers to which they were exposed from the jaguar, the poisonous serpents, lizards, scorpions, centipedes, and spiders. But with the increasing population and cultivation of the country, observe these naturalists, these evils will gradually diminish ; when the inhabitants have cut down the woods

Scorpions lurk in holes of walls and hollow timber. Of insect architecture, nothing need be said in this place. The solid substantial edifices of the Termite ants, and those of more than one species well known at home; the various combs of the bee tribes, duly and forcibly demonstrate the operation of a guiding Power, independent of reason and of
