OR SCALY LIZARD. 



1 HE powers with which animals are endowed for self 

 defence a-re greatly diversified, and very surprising. 

 The Ikunk. annoys its afsailants by emitting a fetid li- 

 quor that is intolerably disagreeable to every other 

 creature ; the tortoise rests secure from all annoy- 

 ance within its impenetrable ihell ; the hedge hog 

 rolls itself into a ball that presents a hedge of prickles 

 on every side, that secures it from tne attacks of 

 every large voracious animal.
