This is the link between flowers and fishes. You have often, when late out in the summer evenings, seen the bats wheeling round your head, or fly flickering about, so low as almost to drive against you. If you ever have an opportunity of seeing one of them quite still, and close to you, do not be afraid of it. Though it is an ugly thing, it will not hurt you, and it is so cu- rious a creature, that it is very well worth CHAPTER III. 53 examining. It is the link between birds and beasts, and sha...res the peculiarities of both. It has wings like a bird, at least, it has wings by which it can fly like a bird, for they have no feathers, and it has a body like a mouse. It is very hideous, but still it is interesting to examine it, in its relation- ship to the two opposite classes of ani- mals, which find a connecting link in its deformed person. You have heard I daresay of the flying fish, whose natural element is the water, but which is furnished with a sort of fin-like wing, that enables it when it pleases, to rise into the ah-, and enjoy the pleasures of a flight.
