Mr. Bowker sends me tbe following interesting remarks on this "Hermit" 

 Skipper (as he styles it) : " A curious fellow ; only found on the rocky 

 banks of a forest stream ; in the most gloomy dark cornerSj where you 

 would only expect to fiud a spider or a frog, he will bolt out like a shot 

 and settle ou the face of a rock under a bunch of diosb or ferns : — rare 

 January."
