Near the Goerius lay a pearly egg, about two tenths of an inch long, and more than one tenth of an inch in diameter.

The shell of the egg was of the con- sistence of parchment, and the yolk it enclosed was viscous and of a yellowish white colour.

This, doubtless, was the egg of the Goerius which the same passing foot that had par- tially crushed its body, and thus destroyed the destroyer, had, perhaps, prematurely forced out of it.

I dissected the remains of the Goerius, but did not perceive another egg, or the rudiments of one, within them.
