NATURALISTS MONTHLY REPORT. 
Reviving Nature feems again to breathe, 
As loofened from the cold embrace of deagh. 
FROM the 19th of January to the 18th of February, the eeather has for the moft part con- 
. tinued as before, unufually mild for the feafon. During tais time we have had no fnow, 
and very lttle froft. In funny days the dees have been feen flying about as if employed in 
colleéting food: in fhady places near their hives, however, feveral of them have been per- 
fe&tly benumbed with the cold. I tried to recover two or three by taking them into the 
houfe, and placing them at a little diftance from the fire, but I did not fucceed. 
@n the 3Lft of January, which was an extremely warm day, two peacock butterflies (papilio 
iris of Linnzeus) left their hiding places and were feen flying abroad. Some of the newfpapers 
dhave remarked that thefe butterflies, the moft beautiful of any that this country produces, 
have beén obferved in other parts of England. 
In the early part of the evening of this day, I was furprifed by feeing a bat Ait paft me in 
the air. 
Several of the howfe fics have in fome degree recovered from their torpid flate, and crawl 
about the windows. Their limbs however are ftiff, and all their motions are performed with 
difficulty. 
February 1f. China Rofes, are ftill in flower in the gardens. The firft leaves of the Common 
Feverfew ( Matricaria parthenium) begin to appear. . Crocufes, Anemones, and Lauruftinus, (Ve- 
burnum tinus) are in flower. ‘ 
The red-treaft, fkylark, blackbird, and thrufb, were all heard to fing on the firft of February. 
‘In the middle of the fine days, the woods and fields refound with the notes of fong birds, as 
if the fpring, was far advanced. 
On the €th of February, Fonguils (NarciJus Sfonguilla) were in flower ; and the Ayacinths 
fiad begun to puth up their flowering ftems. ‘The beautiful crimfon ftyles-of the male flowers 
of the bozel were fully expanded, and the catkins had begun to open and -fhed their farina. 
At this feafon of the year the hedge jnails (helix arbuftorem of Linnzus) are tound collected 
in confiderable numbers about the roots of trees, in holes of fuch as are decayed, and the fhel- 
tered
