Indeed, as we just remarked, 1162 IX, 40 | narrow by side-building the entrances to the hive if they are 1163 I, 6 | perception, we shall proceed to enumerate the parts: firstly, the 1164 I, 15 | and in order that by the enumeration of these obvious facts due 1165 VII, 7 | in some cases membranous envelopes surround the egg, and in 1166 v, 34 | fishes, has no shell-like envelopment.

The erithacus (or redbreast) and the so-called 1181 VI, 2 | towards generation, as some erroneously suppose: they are two in 1182 I, 17 | they are led into their error by their observation of 1183 III, 11 | decrepit condition.~In the eruptive malady called the white-sickness 1184 II, 2 | but that the circumstance escapes observation, owing to the 1185 VI, 17 | have a better chance of escaping destruction.~The so-called 1186 VIII, 11| only insect that invariably eschews whatever is rotten; it will 1187 IX, 37 | swarm together when they espy a dangerous creature, and 1188 VIII, 17| that the bear hides is well established, but there are doubts as 1189 VI, 13 | the grey mullet, and the etelis, and all the so-called white-fish, 1190 I, 17 | Chalcidic settlement in Euboea the sheep are devoid of 1191 IX, 50 | hair never fall out, for a eunuch never grows bald.

On one occasion, 1201 v, 18 | gill-region be dilated and examined there are found two red 1202 v, 33 | the animal is said not to exceed six months. The river-crocodile 1203 IX, 50 | The ovaries of sows are excised with the view of quenching 1204 VIII, 21| it, namely, by complete excision, when they detect the first 1205 VII, 12 | infants, in that it tends to excite this malady, and red wine 1206 VI, 18 | to all animals to be most excited by the desire of one sex 1207 VIII, 2 | categories are more or less exclusive of one another; we must 1208 VIII, 2 | species. Some fishes are exclusively carnivorous, as the cartilaginous 1209 VIII, 2 | stones, slime, sea-weed, and excrement-as for instance the rock-crab-and 1210 IX, 7 | than in large ones, as is exemplified in the case of birds by 1211 VIII, 20| River-fish and lake-fish also are exempt from diseases of a pestilential 1212 VI, 21 | advanced age, owing to their exemption from hardship and to their 1213 VII, 9 | process the woman while exerting force with her breath fails 1214 I, 11 | impossible to inhale or exhale, owing to the fact that 1215 VIII, 30| fully recovered from the exhaustion of such discharge. Some 1216 I, 13 | by we shall treat in an exhaustive way regarding all such parts.~ 1217 VI, 1 | known where hens, after exhibiting extreme fecundity, have 1218 IX, 11 | are fashioned to meet the exigencies of existence and ensure 1219 VI, 2 | intermitted, the previously existing egg-substance exhibits no 1220 IV, 10 | moves just as you would expect in a creature suddenly awakened. 1221 IX, 40 | from this that they are expecting bad weather.

All the other animals 1246 IV, 10 | creatures are furnished with eyelids-but can be obtained only from 1247 IV, 10 | from the condition of their eyes-for none of these creatures 1248 IX, 41 | but we have never met an eyewitness of this phenomenon.
