S% Stony Concretions found in the Human Muscular Sys^ 
tern. — Tiedmann, in a late dissection, found numerous white 
earthy concretions in the body of a man fifty-eight years of age; 
who was a great brandy drinker, suffered much from the gout, 
and died of hydrothorax. These concretions, which were most 
abundant in the muscles of the extremities, were generally long- 
ish, rounded, and smooth, and from two to three lines in length. 
Concretions were also detected in the coats of some of the arte- 
ries. According to Gmelin, these concretions contained phos- 
phate of lime, 73 ; carbonate of lime, 7 ; animal matter, 20 ; 
= 100 . 
33. Hermaphrodite Butterfiies. — In the collection of insects 
belonging to Professor Germar, are the following hermaphrodites. 
1. Papilio atalanta. The left side male, the right side female; 
the left pair of wings is smaller, and more deeply notched 
than the right. The left antenna shorter than the right.— S. P«- 
pilio antiopa ; right side male, and left side female. The right 
antenna much shorter than the left. — 3. Papilio Phoehe ; left 
side male. Left antenna shorter than the right ; and the left 
pair of wings smaller, but the colour and margin same as the 
right pair. Hinder part of the body same as in male. — 4. 
Sphinx euphorhice ; left side male^ and smaller than the 
right or female side. The distribution of the colour is remark- 
able. The whole under side of the body is divided by a line, 
in the direction of its length ; the male side is covered with a 
green powder, while the female side has a white antenna, rose- 
red breast, and the abdomen marked with white denticulations. 
— 5. Sphinx galli ; left side male ; the right antenna and the 
right pair of wings longer than those of the male side; but 
there is no difference of colour in the delineation of the two 
parts.

34. Rock-crystals containing glohides of Water formed^ and 
forming,^ in decaying Granite in Elba. — The granite of Elba is 
sometimes traversed by fissures, and these fissures are frequent- 
ly filled with a disintegrated granite, in which, we are told, are 
daily forming rock-crystals, nearly all of which contain bubbles
