Left on Labrador

CHAPTER IX
5/36

That's what some of our enterprising young naturalists, who swarm out from Yale and Cambridge, seem to think.

Only a few weeks ago, I was reading of a new sort of minute infusorial insect or mollusk, I don't pretend to understand which, bearing the name of '_Mussa Braziliensis Hartii Verrill_.' Now, I like that.

There's a noble aspiration for fame as well as euphony.

Only it's a little heavy on the poor mollusk to make him draw these aspiring young gentlemen up the steep heights of ambition.

But if they can afford to risk two names on a tiny bit of jelly as big as the head of a pin, say, I think we should be justified in putting all four of ours on to this big beast over here.
