to their habits, as with them they can clasp and cling to 
almost anything. The fore-feet have two toes turned out¬ 
wards and three inwards, and the hind-feet the reverse. Their 
slow, sleepy movement when walking, and their power of 
moving one eye independently of the other, give them an 
expression that is almost idiotic. They dart out their tongue 
with a rapidity that does not seem to be in keeping with all 
their other movements, and were it not for this quickness I 
fear they would go short of food. 
Turn over any dead stick or log of wood, and out troop 
ants, woodlice, and beetles, or even a lizard or a centipede. 
Look on the green bushes near the water, and you may find 
the green tree-frog clinging to a stem with its sucker-like 
toes. Go where you may, or look where you may, fresh 
sights crop up, and each one bearing its special interest will 
tend to intensify the love of, and increase the desire for, a 
deeper insight into the study that affords such endless delights 
for those in whom there is the least love of Nature and her 
marvellous workings.
