AriD^E — BEES. 215 



In the Liverpool Advertiser, and Times, of Nov. 24, 

 1817, there is a lengthy account of three Bees being found 

 in a state of animation in a huge solid rock from the West- 

 ern Point Quarry. Scientific attention was attracted, and 

 as appears from the above-mentioned papers of Dec. 5, 1817, 

 the mystery was cleared up by discovering in the rock " a 

 sand hole" through which the insects had made their way.^
