ELIOT ON NUDIBRANCHS [Nov. 29, What induces me to this belief is the inconsolable behaviour of the remaining one of a pair should the other be killed, no matter whether the survivor be the male or female. It is really touching. I shall never forget the moaning sobs of the mate of the Lion killed N.W. of Kibwezi during the entire succeeding night, nor the continuous melancholy roaring of the mate of tb« Lioness killed in Henga in December 1893. 2.
