Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 5: December, 1867, to May, 1868The train slackened speed, and glided into an important station, larger than any we had passed.

Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 29: January to June, 1880By the bedside sat his favourite nephew and heir, whose christian name was also Gilbert. He was a young man of three or four and twenty with a face which, allowing for the difference in their years, was, both in character and features, singularly like that of his uncle. Gilbert the younger was not, and never had been, a handsome man; but his face was instinct with power, it expressed strength Of will, and a sort Of high, resolute defiance Of fortune in whatever guise she might present herself. This young man carried a riding-whip in his hand; on a table near, lay a pair of buckskin gloves. He wore Hessian boots with tassels, and a bottle-green riding coat much braided and befrogged. His vest was of striped nankin, and he carried two watches with a huge bunch of seals pendant from each of them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

In the genus Mytilus the foot is very much reduced; in others which have lost the power of locomotion (e.g. Ostrea) it is absent altogether. On the posterior part of the foot there is in some genera (e.g. Mytilus, Avicula, Area) a gland which secretes a bundle of horny fibres, known as the byssus, by means of which the animal moors itself to foreign objects. On each side of the foot, between it and the mantle, and attached to the body dorsally, are the gills or branchiae (fig. 84, g); these consist of filaments which usually become connected so as to form leaf-or plate-like bodies, whence the name Lamellibranchia. In some forms, the margins of the two mantle-lobes although in contact are not united, and when this is the case there are usually at the posterior margin two openings leading from the exterior to the mantle-cavity; these are produced by adjoining excavations or notches in the two lobes of the mantle. A current of water, caused by the cilia on the gills and mantle, flows in through the ventral opening, and provides the animal with foo...
