Some curious passages in the history of his bigger brother, the common rock-limpet, may help us to a little light on the matter. We often find this familiar species imbedded in a shallow, but very perceptible and well-defined, depression excavated out of the solid rock, shale, or limestone, or whatever else it may chance to be ; but this cavity in every case so accu- rately fitting the dimensions of the animal, as to leave no room for doubt that the former has been really modelled by the latter.... Now the limpets are all exclusively vegetarians in their diet; and the problem was to understand how the creature could procure his daily dinner of greens, while yet he was so manifestly a fixture. But a peering naturalist, LIMPETS. 193 out one night upon his sea-side prowlings, with a bull's-eye lantern at his girdle, much to the mystifi- cation, no doubt, of the Coastguard watching on the cliffs above, observed the strange phenomenon of old alderrnanic limpets crawling hither and thither with tilted shells, about the tender mossy green that grew in patches on the rocks.
