501 II, 4 | a vapour-bath, and cause ebullition in the fits of passion.~ 502 III, 3 | skins, than to bring the edges of the windpipe itself into 503 I, 1 | while the other is a kind of educational acquaintance with it. For 504 III, 9 | hot, and it is heat that effects concoction.~Such, then, 505 III, 4 | parts are to be seen in the egg sometimes as early as the 506 III, 3 | up during the ingress or egress of breath, and falling down 507 II, 3 | and this food is already elaborated when taken in, which is 508 III, 14| because of the thorough elaboration which their food undergoes. 509 II, 3 | organs by which the various elaborations of the food are effected 510 | else 511 III, 5 | that have undergone great emaciation. For in such there is nothing 512 I, 1 | is such and such a form embodied in this or that matter, 513 III, 4 | visible also in aborted embryos, while still excessively 514 III, 1 | only one whose voice is emitted in that direction.~ 515 II, 4 | for the operation of this emotion. For water is congealed 516 I, 2 | method of Dichotomy cannot be employed, for it necessarily involves 517 II, 10| For what is called the empty space is full of air, and 518 II, 1 | requires one property to enable it to effect pressure, and 519 III, 9 | mischief. But it is to such an enclosure of wind that rot is due. 520 II, 15| sometimes placed in front of enclosures, and keep out any objects 521 II, 7 | injury from the heat, these encompassing vessels, instead of being 522 III, 2 | part than they are, the encumbrance of their weight would have 523 I, 1 | the other to sense, of his end-the physician of health, the 524 II, 15| in all places where these endings occur, the exudation of 525 III, 2 | will stand up against some enemies and defend themselves with 526 III, 9 | merely one; which naturally enhances the difficulties of a cure.~ 527 III, 14| cases is rapid, and the enjoyment derived from it in consequence 528 III, 14| the space to contain it enlarges, allowing it to remain stationary 529 II, 9 | occasionally grow to an enormous size, as is the case in 530 III, 14| habits, the latter eating enormously at a meal, the former making 531 III, 4 | this tranquillity can be ensured by the blood being pure, 532 III, 8 | consumption necessarily entails the production of an increased 533 I, 5 | them not to be afraid to enter, as even in that kitchen 534 I, 1 | treat of it, either in its entirety, or, at any rate, of that 535 III, 6 | affords amplitude of space for entrance of the breath. For when 536 III, 7 | is one of the parts that environ the viscera and therefore 537 I, 1 | hot and the cold from the environing universe. And that the heaven, 538 II, 14| surfaces of the body are on an equality as regards need of protection. 539 II, 10| and they give off as its equivalent their seeds and fruits. 540 I, 1 | Empedocles, then, was in error when he said that many of 541 II, 7 | and causes the heat to escape downwards in company with 542 II, 1 | has the like property in esse, so that the two are the 543 I, 1 | that, existing itself from eternity, it has determined their 544 II, 7 | inasmuch as the water is evaporated by the heat, and leaves 545 II, 4 | while the fluid part is evaporating.~Some at any rate of the 546 II, 6 | and such its nature. It is evidently the surplus of the sanguineous 547 III, 1 | similarly, the horns of ewes from those of rams. It explains 548 III, 14| alone can one hit on the exact period when the food lies 549 II, 4 | passionate. For their blood is exceedingly rich in fibres, and the 550 I, 5 | things give us, from their excellence, more pleasure than all 551 I, 5 | and decay. The former are excellent beyond compare and divine, 552 III, 4 | certain kind of ox. In these exceptional cases the heart, owing to 553 II, 7 | contrary action, so that the excesses of the two may counterbalance 554 III, 1 | mentioned are found, either exclusively, as in some species, or 555 III, 7 | little superfluous fluid to excrete, such as birds and fishes, 556 III, 8 | concocted by the stomach and excreted with its own residual matter. 557 III, 12| animals admits of the freest exhalation, so that the amount of foul 558 III, 8 | that the moisture cannot exhale through the porous flesh, 559 III, 6 | small and dry but capable of expanding to a vast extent when inflated. 560 II, 9 | may be no hindrance to the expansion which necessarily occurs 561 II, 2 | accordance with rational expectation. For hot and cold, solid 562 III, 14| nature can regulate her expenditure and prevent the excremental 563 III, 3 | perfection to inspiration and expiration. The organ then concerned 564 I, 1 | be taken into account in explaining the works of nature, or 565 I, 3 | is their combination that expresses the character of the resulting 566 I, 1 | cases also the proposition expressing hypothetical necessity is 567 III, 10| to its strength and its extensibility. Now that the midriff, which 568 II, 13| lower lid can be thin and extensible.~The act of blinking is 569 II, 2 | becomes cold when its flame is extinguished, as also would oil and pinewood 570 II, 16| elephant, where it attains an extraordinary and strength. For the elephant 571 II, 7 | mean, and not in either extreme, lies the true and rational 572 II, 15| these endings occur, the exudation of moisture of a corporeal 573 III, 10| bloody character, cannot but exude at these points, and it 574 III, 9 | men even raise the right eyebrow more than the left, and 575 II, 15| 15~Both eyebrows and eyelashes exist for 576 II, 14| reason that there is no lower eyelash in any quadruped; though 577 I, 1 | the animals that in the fable are turned into stone; if, 578 II, 1 | which the blood is first fabricated, it is but what one would 579 I, 1 | the ruling influence and fabricator of the offspring. For these 580 III, 1 | which gives them additional facility in dealing with herbaceous 581 I, 1 | these, nor is necessity a factor with the same significance 582 II, 4 | temperament and the sensory faculties of animals in many ways. 583 II, 2 | Such, for instance, are the faeces and, in animals that have 584 I, 1 | both; and that those who fail in this tell us in reality 585 I, 1 | reason why our predecessors failed in hitting upon this method 586 I, 1 | heaven, in which not the faintest sign of haphazard or of 587 I, 1 | should be able to form a fair off-hand judgement as to 588 II, 10| those to whose share has fallen not mere life but life of 589 II, 10| and their forms are more familiar to us than those of other 590 III, 4 | if, that is to say, he fancied that the reason why none 591 II, 9 | also has nature acted in fashioning the animal body out of flesh. 592 II, 2 | another in all these different fashions. Boiling water for instance, 593 II, 9 | they are continuous, being fastened together by the sinews where 594 II, 5 | an easily concocted and fatty character. This is shown 595 III, 2 | the mark, when he finds fault with the bull for not having 596 II, 4 | makes animals timorous. For fear chills the body; so that 597 I, 4 | for what in the bird is feather, in the fish is scale. Such 598 III, 14| food. For all these birds feed on substances easy of reduction, 599 III, 1 | that swim and have webbed feet-the bill is broad, or adapted 600 III, 9 | kidney is less fat than its fellow. The reason for this is, 601 III, 9 | advance of their opposite fellows; as may be seen in the fact 602 III, 10| kind of partition-wall and fence, and so separated the nobler 603 II, 2 | finding that some man in a fever was a musician, one were 604 III, 2 | run away from such as are fierce and pugnacious. The Bonasus 605 II, 7 | incorporate in some substance of a fiery character. The reason for 606 III, 15| has juice like that of the fig; for juice of this kind 607 III, 5 | blood-vessels; just as when fig-leaves or vine-leaves or the like 608 I, 3 | essential attributes. Thus if Figure is the term to be divided, 609 III, 5 | while the smallest are soon filled up with mud and disappear, 610 III, 12| are conditions that depend finally and in the main upon the 611 II, 2 | much the same thing as if, finding that some man in a fever 612 II, 1 | nostril, the whole face, the fingers, the hand, and the whole 613 III, 7 | but as matters of greater finish and perfection. For by their 614 III, 4 | moreover, in the most perfectly finished animals there is another 615 III, 3 | necessarily be not only smooth but firm. The windpipe lies in front 616 III, 5 | work the parts hold more firmly together because of the 617 III, 10| affected by tickling is due firstly to the delicacy of his skin, 618 I, 4 | of man and the spine of fish-but differ merely in respect 619 II, 8 | analogous substance, as by fishspine in some fishes, and by cartilage 620 III, 1 | them as serve for weapons fit into each other’s interspaces, 621 II, 10| first; and this the more fitly, because in him alone do 622 III, 2 | solid piece from the bones fitted into its cavity. For this 623 I, 1 | by the same process.~The fittest mode, then, of treatment 624 III, 5 | having become loose and flabby, and their blood watery, 625 III, 9 | birds, however, there are flattened kidney like bodies, as though 626 II, 9 | females; and the bones of flesh-eaters, that get their food by 627 II, 16| It is therefore soft and flexible, and, being such, is made, 628 II, 17| is plainly to be seen in flies and bees and all such animals, 629 III, 7 | which these vessels, while floating freely, are yet held in 630 III, 9 | oily matter is light, and floats on the surface of other 631 II, 14| where the mane is still more flowing and ample. So, again, whenever 632 II, 3 | also the opposite term "fluld" is strictly and absolutely 633 I, 1 | in a painting, or like a flute in a sculpture, in spite 634 III, 14| nutriment, and consume more fodder than the rest.~Neither is 635 III, 14| dog, and presents certain folds of moderate size, the purpose 636 III, 14| comminute or grind down their food-it is, I say, because of this, 637 I, 3 | Featherless for instance or of Footless, as there are of Feathered 638 III, 9 | density of their substance forbidding this, but is deposited about 639 II, 10| head.~It is not only the fore part of the head that is 640 I, 1 | the second kind.~In the foregoing we have an example of the 641 I, 3 | independent bifurcation, and are foreign to the series at the end 642 I, 1 | our description. For the formal nature is of greater importance 643 I, 1 | seed endowed with certain formative properties. Secondly, he 644 III, 12| exhalation, so that the amount of foul residual matter within is 645 II, 2 | former treatise, are the foundations of the physical elements.~ 646 III, 3 | of before and behind is founded.) But where the heart is, 647 III, 5 | from one single source or fount into numerous channels, 648 III, 4 | constitutes the origin and fountain, or primary receptacle, 649 I, 3 | differentiae, whose number will be four or some other power of two, 650 II, 9 | parts are more developed in four-footed vivipara than in man. For 651 III, 14| reduction is complete, and the fourth when the whole has become 652 II, 13| sharpsighted; while common fowls and the like, that live 653 I, 1 | celestial bodies than in our own frame; while change and chance 654 I, 5 | the primordia of the human frame-blood, flesh, bones, vessels, 655 II, 9 | this again requires the framework that supports the body to 656 II, 6 | either be too fluid or too frangible.~There are some animals 657 III, 12| of animals admits of the freest exhalation, so that the 658 II, 7 | but in the one case will freeze the blood, and in the other 659 II, 5 | coagulates nor dries up into a friable mass.~Both lard and suet 660 III, 1 | getting blunted by mutual friction, such of them as serve for 661 I, 1 | instance, by antagonism or friendship, whether by intelligence 662 II, 16| be severally adapted to fulfil the office mentioned above, 663 II, 10| rate partakes of it in a fuller measure than the rest. For 664 II, 16| called nostrils except from a functional point of view. A bird at 665 III, 5 | nostrils, the gums, and the fundament, occasionally also from 666 II, 9 | Cartilage and bone are indeed fundamentally the same thing, the differences 667 I, 5 | him warming himself at the furnace in the kitchen and hesitated 668 I, 3 | same division), or it only furnishes a single ultimate differentia 669 I, 3 | swimming for instance.~Furthermore, living beings cannot be 670 III, 6 | and anticipation of the future. Moreover, in most animals 671 II, 17| catch them. So also the gad-flies and cattle-flies can pierce 672 III, 2 | without any compensating gain whatso::ver, but with the 673 III, 12| Vivipara are without any gall-bladder at all. For the liver takes 674 II, 9 | separated from the rest by a gap, it would be perfectly unable 675 III, 5 | foundation walls; because the garden-plants in the one case grow at 676 III, 5 | this. The water-courses in gardens are so constructed as to 677 I, 1 | of them separately? For genera that are quite distinct 678 III, 1 | crooked in them than in the generality of birds. Similarly in each 679 I, 5 | the resultant end of her generations and combinations is a form 680 I, 4 | it will be best to treat generically the universal attributes 681 I, 1 | latter heavy. For even the genesis of the universe is thus 682 II, 6 | not, as some think, the germinal force of the semen. That 683 II, 8 | Calamaries there is the so-called gladius. In the Poulps, on the other 684 I, 5 | we live; just as a half glimpse of persons that we love 685 I, 3 | shall find that the ant, the glow-worm, and some other animals 686 II, 6 | of a clasp, it must be of glutinous character, and at the same 687 II, 1 | have reached the end and goal, having the third degree 688 I, 3 | Oxen, Dogs in India, Pigs, Goats, Sheep; groups which, if 689 II, 13| which would otherwise have gone to increase the growth of 690 III, 9 | the kidneys become so soon gorged with fat as in the sheep. 691 I, 5 | ignoble. For if some have no graces to charm the sense, yet 692 III, 5 | blood-vessels advance, they become gradually smaller and smaller, until 693 II, 9 | the two extremities from grating against each other.~Round 694 II, 16| backwards while they are grazing. It is therefore soft and 695 III, 5 | thrown down along the whole ground-plan of the foundation walls; 696 III, 3 | obvious. Indeed on many grounds it is ridiculous to say 697 I, 4 | But as regards the larger groups-such as Birds-which comprehend 698 III, 4 | to be full of stones, and growths, and small abscesses, as 699 I, 1 | this, and following the guidance of fact, finds himself constrained 700 III, 5 | infrequently from the nostrils, the gums, and the fundament, occasionally 701 III, 1 | crows and birds of crowlike habit, while in the smaller birds 702 III, 5 | parts the most liable to haemorrhage; so that bleeding occurs 703 III, 5 | also from the mouth. Such haemorrhages are of a passive kind, and 704 II, 17| forked and has a fine and hair-like extremity, because of their 705 II, 14| scale-like plates, being hairless, have none. The Libyan ostrich, 706 II, 7 | reason why drowsy persons hang the head), and causes the 707 I, 2 | Birds and the group Fishes happen to be named, while other 708 II, 7 | boiled. For these also are hardened by the process, because 709 III, 7 | division are furnished by the hares of certain regions, which 710 III, 14| contrived by nature as to harmonize with the various operations 711 III, 1 | beak presents variations in harmony with the functions and protective 712 III, 7 | Such are the pigeon, the hawk, and the kite. It is the 713 I, 3 | therefore, under the privative heading. Now specifically distinct 714 III, 14| under one or other of two headings, namely as resembling the 715 III, 12| purity of composition and the healthiness of the body. For these are 716 III, 10| persons asserted that they had heard the murdered man’s head, 717 I, 1 | by reference to which a hearer shall be able to criticize 718 III, 7 | there must be which, like a hearth, shall hold the kindling 719 I, 5 | loftier interest of the heavenly things that are the objects 720 II, 10| held up. But, were the head heavily laden with flesh, this would 721 II, 13| therefore soar to greater heights than other birds, are sharpsighted; 722 II, 16| their place, and give such help as otherwise would be rendered 723 | Hence 724 I, 5 | nature is marvellous: and as Heraclitus, when the strangers who 725 III, 1 | facility in dealing with herbaceous food.~The several parts 726 II, 9 | are harder than those of Herbivora. Of this the Lion is an 727 I, 5 | furnace in the kitchen and hesitated to go in, reported to have 728 I, 5 | in Nature’s works in the highest degree, and the resultant 729 II, 10| destitute of flesh, but the hind part also. For, in all animals 730 II, 9 | derived from this centre that hinders the blood from coagulating; 731 II, 3 | treatises on Anatomy and Natural History. Now as there is a receptacle 732 III, 14| For then alone can one hit on the exact period when 733 I, 1 | in which even Empedocles hits upon this, and following 734 I, 1 | our predecessors failed in hitting upon this method of treatment 735 II, 7 | from the rest the power of holding up the head. These, however, 736 III, 10| assert, and even call in Homer to support them, representing 737 III, 1 | Crooked-clawed it is invariably hooked, inasmuch as these birds 738 III, 6 | he alone is influenced by hope and anticipation of the 739 III, 10| circumstances. The priest of Zeus Hoplosmios had been murdered; but as 740 II, 5 | the other hand in those hornless animals that have front 741 III, 2 | dull-sighted in making this hostile criticism. For had the horns 742 III, 4 | the most abundant and the hottest blood, and this explains 743 I, 1 | health, the builder of a house-and this he holds forward as 744 II, 5 | that they have horns and huckle-bones shows that their composition 745 II, 9 | including between them a hucklebone, as a connecting bolt, so 746 III, 12| as a rule, to a yellow hue, and there are even some 747 I, 5 | from the examination of the humbler animals. Every realm of 748 I, 1 | systematic science, the humblest and the noblest alike, seems 749 III, 7 | spleen attracts the residual humours from the stomach, and owing 750 II, 11| erect, but has its head hung downwards. This being the 751 III, 10| bore the name of Cercidas hunted out and put upon his trial. 752 III, 4 | the deer, the mouse, the hyena, the ass, the leopard, the 753 II, 16| they are insects, by the hypozoma; and how the power of smelling 754 II, 3 | actually, solid or fluid. Ice for example, or any other 755 I, 1 | pre-exists, not only in idea, but actually in time. For 756 II, 2 | for occasionally it is the idiosyncrasy of the individual that causes 757 I, 2 | higher terms is only an idle iteration. Again it is not 758 I, 5 | of the kingdom, however ignoble. For if some have no graces 759 II | Book II~ 760 III | Book III~ 761 III, 9 | why the kidney is the most ill-savoured of all the viscera.) From 762 II, 2 | blood may be selected to illustrate this. For different bloods 763 I, 3 | usages of language into imagining that it is merely the final 764 III, 3 | windpipe that an animal imbibes fluid. For the consequences 765 I, 3 | purely material or purely immaterial; nor can a body, independently 766 II, 7 | in its sympathies, and is immediately sensitive to the slightest 767 I, 5 | that designed them, give immense pleasure to all who can 768 II, 17| character.~In crocodiles the immobility of the lower jaw also contributes 769 II, 17| in other animals is the immovable one. The tongue, however, 770 II, 2 | hotter than another, if it impart a greater amount of heat 771 II, 17| actual instruction were imparted from one to another by its 772 II, 7 | heat. For nutrition and the imparting of motion are offices of 773 III, 2 | with the disadvantage of impeding many bodily operations. 774 II, 13| their mode of life which imperatively requires it.~Fishes and 775 I, 5 | nature some are ungenerated, imperishable, and eternal, while others 776 II, 16| which in all of them is implanted by nature and not introduced 777 II, 17| animal, softness being most impressionable by touch, of which sense 778 II, 2 | as to our other sensory impressions?~The explanation of the 779 III, 5 | thicker from concoction. The inability of the heat to effect concoction 780 II, 7 | however, is but a rough and inaccurate assertion; and it would 781 II, 16| proboscis, had it been hard and incapable of bending. For its very 782 I, 1 | were merely the results of incidental occurrences during their 783 II, 7 | overcoming any opposite inclination, makes growth take its own 784 III, 14| animal shall receive the incoming food; and necessary also 785 II, 7 | to say that the soul is incorporate in some substance of a fiery 786 II, 3 | when no food is taken, and increases when much is consumed, and 787 III, 14| inefficiency of the mouth by increasing the efficiency and heat 788 I, 1 | like-taking each kind in hand inde. pendently of the rest, 789 I, 3 | Men, Horses, Oxen, Dogs in India, Pigs, Goats, Sheep; groups 790 I, 5 | which conforms, as we have indicated, to the order of nature.~ 791 III, 6 | abundance of blood is a sure indication of heat. Heat, again, tends 792 III, 7 | condition is comparatively indistinctly marked; while, on the other 793 II, 9 | has in itself a separate individuality; but they all form parts 794 I, 4 | either impracticable or inefficacious for its professed purposes.~ 795 III, 14| For nature retrieves the inefficiency of the mouth by increasing 796 III, 7 | sense, that is, of being an inevitable concomitant. Therefore it 797 I, 3 | 3~Again, privative terms inevitably form one branch of dichotomous 798 III, 4 | heart is not only a rational inference, but also evident to the 799 III, 1 | they have even these in an inferior degree, and the parts which 800 II, 2 | substance, or sets on fire an inflammable one. Again, of two masses 801 III, 6 | expanding to a vast extent when inflated. Among terrestrial animals, 802 II, 8 | ensure their straightness and inflexibility; just as she has assigned 803 I, 1 | re-entrance of heat and the inflow of air are necessary if 804 III, 6 | inasmuch as he alone is influenced by hope and anticipation 805 I, 1 | the natural philosopher to inform himself concerning the soul, 806 I, 5 | animals we have abundant information, living as we do in their 807 III, 5 | that bleeding occurs not infrequently from the nostrils, the gums, 808 III, 14| be one receptacle for the ingoing food and another for the 809 III, 6 | kind of lung; and, among inhabitants of the air, the animals 810 III, 3 | such animals as breathe inhale and discharge the air. Therefore 811 I, 1 | connects substances and their inherent properties and characters. 812 II, 13| been less liable to get injured by anything falling into 813 II, 5 | bodies of small bulk, to be injuriously affected by any chance excess 814 III, 10| is of necessity upon the inner terminations of the vessels 815 I, 1 | the material cause. They inquired what this is, and what its 816 I, 1 | so enables the soul, the inquirer into nature is bound on 817 I, 1 | sciences, so in that which inquires into nature, there must 818 I, 1 | this period men gave up inquiring into the works of nature, 819 I, 1 | assumed to have certain inseparable properties; fire, for instance, 820 III, 4 | being small is reduced to insignificance in the large space, and 821 II, 6 | the marrow is so utterly insignificant that the bones look as though 822 I, 1 | if a woodcarver were to insist that the hand he had cut 823 II, 2 | the resulting substance is insoluble; but, when their main constituent 824 III, 4 | those that we have ourselves inspected, with the exception of the 825 II, 7 | sense is plain from simple inspection, and is still more clearly 826 II, 10| avail themselves of the inspiratory motion. In other animals 827 III, 6 | are terrestrial and that inspire air being nevertheless of 828 I, 3 | indications afforded by the instincts of mankind, which led them 829 II, 17| even seems as though actual instruction were imparted from one to 830 I, 1 | which like the axe is an instrument-for both the body as a whole 831 I, 1 | but it is nevertheless insufficient. For it is not enough for 832 I, 3 | a privative term, being insusceptible of differentiation, cannot 833 III, 5 | flesh of an animal is in its integrity, blood will flow from any 834 II, 13| whereas lower down the integument is of a flesh-like character, 835 II, 6 | so that it is perfectly intelligible how the marrow within the 836 II, 2 | substances with a much greater intensity. Another distinction is 837 II, 13| performed from deliberate intention but from a natural instinct) 838 III, 5 | interweaving, so also by the interchange of position between the 839 I, 5 | balances somewhat the loftier interest of the heavenly things that 840 I, 5 | themselves were not more interesting, to all at any rate who 841 II, 17| jaw, because that would interfere with the ingestion of food, 842 II, 9 | meal, nor, in females, any interference with the growth of the foetus, 843 II, 15| operation of nature which interferes, by diverting the moisture 844 II, 17| For in the first place the interior of the mouth in animals 845 III, 1 | may be sharp-pointed and interlock with those of the opposite 846 II, 9 | cartilaginous pieces are interposed in the joint, to serve as 847 III, 1 | weapons fit into each other’s interspaces, and are so kept in proper 848 III, 6 | heart by a considerable interval and lies above it, so that 849 III, 14| former making meals at short intervals.~Again, since the food in 850 II, 10| existence is impossible. Intervening again between these two 851 III, 5 | together because of the interweaving, so also by the interchange 852 III, 4 | cold, as is shown by its intolerance of chill, whereas the region 853 I, 4 | denoting a higher group was not invented by mankind, as an appellation 854 II, 1 | existence are always the inverse of each other. For that 855 II, 2 | latter as cold, while others invert the description.

These jointings are most distinct in animals 869 II, 9 | difficulty. There are some joints, again, in which the lower 870 I, 1 | to form a fair off-hand judgement as to the goodness or badness 871 III, 7 | a hearth, shall hold the kindling fire; and this part must 872 III, 7 | pigeon, the hawk, and the kite.

The risk 875 I, 1 | potentiality to actuality we know.~There are then two causes, 876 II, 2 | actual existence.~There is no knowing but that even fire may be 877 III, 14| the mouth, owing to its lack of teeth, only imperfectly 878 II, 10| But, were the head heavily laden with flesh, this would be 879 I, 3 | misled by the usages of language into imagining that it is 880 II, 6 | marrow also is unctuous and lard-like; but when the blood is converted 881 I, 4 | corporeal conditions as largeness smallness, softness hardness, 882 II, 13| starting-point being preferable to a lateral one.

For an animal is by our 912 III, 9 | neighbouring viscera, the loins, in accordance with a rule 913 III, 1 | is also the only one that looks directly in front (proso) 914 II, 17| Moreover, it is the crocodile’s lot, though a land animal, to 915 I, 5 | glimpse of persons that we love is more delightful than 916 III, 4 | animals.

But it is to such an enclosure 958 I, 3 | ultimate group. But one is misled by the usages of language 959 III, 6 | can contribute nothing to mitigate any jumping.~The lung differs 960 II, 13| those of Crustacea, with mobility (just as she has given some 961 II, 7 | that they may be reduced to moderation and brought to the mean ( 962 II, 10| taste, which is merely a modification of touch and which is placed 963 III, 14| stomach, presents numerous modifications.
