It Is not correct to say that there are no frogs or toads in Ireland, though It is very remarkable that the com mon toad Is not found there. The nat terjack toad Is a native of Kerry, though It does not appear to be found elsewhere. It is an example of the mania which some people have for meddling with nature that a Dr. (Jul- thers In lijiv.t took the trouble to procure frogs' spawn from Kngland. since which t tints- they have multi plied in Ireland. But the common lizard is found in tunny parts of the island. The slowwurin is not. Though the common toad, nnd until recent times the frog, was not found in Ireland, it Is worth remembering that the English reptiles and batrach inn are very local In their distribu tion. Tim natterjack toad Is only found In certain counties. The edi ble frog was formerly only found In l oulmire Pen, In Cambridgeshire, and the sand lizard is most capricious in the choice of a heme. The "beauti ful green lacertae," which Cilbert White saw on the sunny bunks near Farnbnm, are to bp found there still, the males being of the green color; and ilso near BounnMuouth, and In Itorcet- shire beyond Poole Harbor. Yet there are many suitable (daces where none are aeen, and then they reappear again oil some sand bills on the coast of Lan cashire, near Soitthport. On the other band, the absence of many species in Ireland, which are. or were, commonly found In the larger island, can only be explained on the supposition that tbey never reached the country. Among the- are the wild cat, the polecat nnd the weasel. Yet the marten was ; Iways plentiful on the other side of St. (Jeorge's Channel, and stoat abound In the west. Plve of t.ie fourteen specie or bat found In F.ugland have t ot been taken in Ire land, neither is the common shrew found there o.1 the water shrew, or the mole, though the last 1 found in An gelsey. Only six of the :ifteen Briti-di rodent are found in Ireland, ami of these, one, the squirrel, wn probably introduced. Neither is the roe deer Indigenous. In support of hie general theory that the Immigration of the English fauna wa ditllcult in the earlier periods, nnd subsequently checked altogether, may be cited the nun'ogous Instance of th Isle of Man.
