Swallows, 250, To the evidences there men- 



tioned of fwallows being found 

 in a torpid ftate during winter, 

 we may add the following, re- 

 ceived fince the printing of that 

 page. 



The reverend Mr. Conway, of 

 Sychton, Flinljldire, was lb oblig- 

 ing as to communicate the 

 following fact ; a few years 

 ago, on looking down an old 

 lead mine in that county, he ob- 

 ferved numbers of fwallows 

 clinging to the timbers of the 

 {haft, feemingly afleep ; and 

 on flinging fome gravel on 

 them, they juft moved, but ne- 

 ver attempted to fly or change 

 their place ; this was between 

 All Saints and Chrifimas. 



Mr. Rice Hughes, of Cemmes, 

 in Mcntgomery/hire,\nformed us, 

 that he has feen, when a boy, 

 in a gravelly bank near Llan y 

 Mowddzvy, a clufter of five or 

 fix fwallows in a torpid ftate j 

 and about two years ago, he 

 toke a fingle fwallow that drop- 

 ped down a chimney in a like 

 ftate ; but that on holding it to 

 the fire it revived.
