. Memoirs and proceedings of the Manchester Literary & Philosophical Society. wnshafts full of loose fresh earth, whichI cleared for about 18 inches but had no time to explorefurther, and the idea has since occurred to me that the Manchester Memoirs, Vol. xlvit. {igo^)), No. 4- 15 mother mole, being surprised on the nest, had burrowedstraight down, and was perhaps boring away below whileI was exploring the nest above. The Rev. J. Grierson, already mentioned, describingthe moles dwelling, says, a jakes, or place for retiringto when about to evacuate the faeces, is always foundat a little distance from the nest, say nine or ten inches.This I have never been able to discover, nor do I expectto do so.

Cadet de Vaux says, on the authority of Le Court, and all the text books have copied him more or lessliterally, The mole places his habitation in the mostfavourable spot in his cantonment ; he studies everything, and never does he make a mistake except under circum-stances which he has been un
