It was a love story from the very beginning.

Cain's mark vs Profound Bond (Part II)

(10x18/10x19)

Hello my friends! I had to part this meta in three, this is the second part because... Is the nucleus of season 10.

The following episodes are talking about how Dean fights inside of him between what he desires vs his monster.

The Universe Against Destiel

When episode 10x18 "Book of the Condemned" starts, we have Cas and Metatron in the car, Alanis Morissette's Song Ironic playing, and Cas turning the music off.

Just pay attention to Metatron's observations...

METATRON: Really? That song is a classic. Yeah I hear you. I do. And you’re right. Inclement weather on the day of your nuptials and the wrong cutlery at inopportune times is hardly ironic.

This are facts that could ruin a perfect wedding. Just like the storm that is about to come between Dean and Cas.

Now... I want you to recall 13x23... Just for a bit.

Okay... Now... In episode 10x18 we had almost the same words coming from Dean...

DEAN: We’re due for a win, okay? Overdue. I’ll tell you another thing, if this actually does work, we’re gonna take some time off.

SAM: What, like a vacation?

DEAN: Mm-hmm. And I’m not talking just like a weekend in Vegas or sitting in some crap motel watching pay-per-porn. No, I’m talking about a beach. Drinking cervezas, go for a swim, mingle with the local wildlife. When was the last time either one of us was on a beach?

SAM: Never.

DEAN: Sand between our toes, Sammy. Sand between our toes

Both situations were showing one Dean having hopes in solve their situation, in season 10 he thought he had found the way to erase the mark and in season 13, with Jack and everyone back at home, dreaming about a perfect world.

And is not coincidence this appreciation came after his confession in that Church. We are exploring Dean's desires, what Dean really wants. A path we will walk with him through the following seasons.

Dean is the most important mission for Cas

This are not new ideas, but ... Castiel and Metatron dialogue showed us how important Dean is for Castiel.

His reaction and his disgust towards Metatron is evident.

METATRON:What? I thought we were having a moment. Can’t we be besties?

Gif credit @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs

CASTIEL: No. Because you killed my friend.

Metatron is there too to make Cas face himself. Throwing at him questions like WHO ARE YOU?

When Castiel finds his grace back, the quote he has to decipher it has to do with him, and with Dean too.

What’s the maddest thing a man can do? Let himself die.

To give up. That's the maddest thing.

Laughing at last

The episode was full of red colors, announcing the big storm that is about to come.

But this episode had a sad and beautiful scene when Charlie meets Castiel.

As a fan, in representation of all the fandom, Charlie asks Castiel if he can heal Dean. Save him from his mark. Which Cas answers sadly NO.

So, okay, he won't cure Dean from the curse. It will be Sam. Why? Because he didn't burn the book.

When Dean arrived Cas is so cute and flustered that scene is gold, and then this one here under the inquisitive and attentive Charlie's (fandom's) eyes.

Gif credit @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs

What is even that bow? Is the cutest, shy, dummy thing, he was caught by surprise by his crush! I can't. Let me die here...

But let's talk about that night...

Gifs by @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs and @bellamy-octavia

Charlie, the little sister Dean never asked for, is the one creating hilarious situations with Cas. They're playing a children game you play to know about secrets like secret love. And that's so playful than even Dean with his last hopes destroyed, can enjoy. Laughing... At last.

Foreshadowing the Darkness

Just a short couple of comments about episode 10x19 "The Weather Project".

The mysterious MoL box in that house had a curse that possessed an entire family, it was some dark power that made people go crazy and suicidal. Some darkness taking control of people, just like will happen in season 11, first episodes.

Why Dean came back to Purgatory in his head? Because in Purgatory everything was clear. Purgatory is the same as cleaning guilts. So... It was the perfect place for him to be in that moment. He needed purity in his heart again.

To Conclude:

We are close to the storm, Cain's mark is about to win Dean's will, and the Universe could be against Destiel again.

The constant in these episode is an inner war between Cain's mark and Dean's truly desires.

The apparition of Charlie like the fresh air for Dean is the reason why it will destroy Dean to watch her dead, releasing the monster he was trying to repress.

I hope you like this meta, see you in the next one!

skz as harry styles songs

☆ — chan: sweet creature

not only chan is a sweet creature himself but, just like the song says: "wherever i go you bring me home". that's what chan represents to all stays: home.

☆ — minho: adore you

this one is personal and 98% biased. it's simply the simpness in me revealing itself. but its also the devotion this song represents, the same devotion minho has to his members, stays and everything he does. just like the song, he is well known and yet, still underrated.

☆ — changbin: from the dining table

changbin is an hopeless romantic and you can't tell me otherwise. he might have this strong intimidating appearance to him but he has one of the softest hearts in the group and he is sensitive. if his heart were to break, i feel like he'd become the personification of this song. i hope he never does.

☆ — hyunjin: only angel

hyunjin simply screams "only angel" to me. because, let's be honest, just like only angel, hyunjin is addictive, he is hot, he is sexy and he is bold with the way he moves, while being stay's angel.

☆ — jisung: golden

jisung is shy. however, he shines nevertheless. just like changbin he has a fragile heart, like a kid, and "i know that he's you're scared because hearts get broken". harry might not know this but he clearly wrote golden about jisung. this song was made for him and him only.

☆ — felix: sunflower, vol. 6

does this one even need an explanation? felix is bright, innocent and has a face that belongs "hung up high in the gallery". he's our precious sunshine, our sunflower.

☆ — seungmin: two ghosts

for me, seungmin has this soft comforting vibe to him with a tint of nostalgia, just like two ghosts. just like this song, he is one of the pros on reaching out to my heart and make it melt into a puddle.

☆ — jeongin: cherry

it's the melody more than anything else for me with this one, gives me the same feeling his smile does. it's comforting. jeongin will always be our sweet maknae, no matter how savage he is, and i want to hug him just like i want to hug harry every time i listen to cherry.

a/n: this was a very random idea that popped in my head while listening to mr harry styles in my car this morning. these are all based on what each song and each member mean to me and is just for fun! you're allowed to disagree and i would love to know your opinion anytime! <33

Lix-yah~!!! I also want to share a dorm with you in the future too~!!! Whenever we’ve had schedules overseas, we’d share rooms quite often and have a lot of good conversations and then when we were tired, we’d just fall asleep ㅋㅋ I remember it being really cozy hehe. Thank you for always including me with you and taking such good care of all of our members, but in these times I also feel really sorry. Just like how I come to you whenever I want to talk, you can come to me anytime~!! I have so many memories of feeling genuine reassurance from you, whether it was when we were close or far away. What a relief that you are in this team, thank you!!!

THE pauky auld Carle came o'er the lee, Wi' mony gude eens and days to mee. Saying, Gaherliinzie\ This word is compounded of Galer, Gab' her, a Wallet or Bag, and Lunzie, loin, /. e. the man who carries the wallet on his back, an itinerant mechanic, or tinker, who carries in his bag the implements of his trade, and flrolls about the country mending pots and kettles. In fuch dilguifes as this James V. (as is faid) ufed to go about the country, and to mingle, unknown, with the meaneft of his fabje<5ts. Thefe frolickfome excurfions often gave birth to little amorous adventures, which our witty Monarch made the fubjeds of his fong, as he was fecond to none of his age in the fciences of poetry and mufic. The root of the word gab is the Celt, cab, fignifying to con- tain. Hence Scot, gab, the mouth, which contains our food; Englifli gobbet, a morfel ; the French gober, to fwallow, and gofier, the throat.

It was a love story from the very beginning.

Cain's Mark vs Profound Bond (Part. III)

(10x20/10x21)

Hello my friends! I'm here with the third part of this meta, and we will be close to the end!

I will talk about episode 20 and 21, and how they showed a lot of hints of foreshadow, anticipating the season ending and the beginning of season 11.

Let's start!

What your heart really wants

Episode 10x20 Angel's heart, starts with a desire coming from a heart that belongs to a woman that was separated from her lover: Amelia and Jimmy Novak, and their fake encounter in Amelia's drama induced by a Grigori.

The Grigori fed with human's soul, by putting them into a dream. Just like the djin.

Two facts to describe here:

1) We were talking in previous episodes about what Dean really wants. We had him confessing he wanted to explore these new feelings about people (we know it was Cas), trying to imagine his retirement in the beach, and now we had this scene... A woman trying to find the love of his life. Dreaming with find him. The perfect manifestation from her desires. And we know the episode will end with Jimmy and Amelia together in Heaven. So, what Amelia really wanted was to find his husband. Again they're showing us what a heart really wants linked to a romantic situation.

And the episode is called angel's heart, leasing us to Castiel's pure heart, and making us think what he really wants too. He wants to recover Dean from the Mark.

2) Having the Grigori feeding with himan's souls, is a blatant foreshadow of Amara feeding with souls in season 11.

Married

Keeping the Jimmy/Amelia and Destiel parallel and mirror. We had a very married situation when Castiel and Dean came back from interrogatory, and went together to buy a birthday gift for Claire.

Gif credit @hallowedbecastiel

There's a little moment in which Cas confessed to Claire where he had bought the gift, and Sam turns to see Dean, with a face that tells DID YOU GO TO BUY IT TOGETHER? And is just hilarious.

Gif credit @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs

Another married scene was when Cas scolds Claire and Dean. It was just a very domestic situation in which the daughter and the husband received vituperation.

Gif credit @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs

It was so sweet when Claire asks Dean to take care of Castiel...

CLAIRE: Will you keep an eye on him?

(Dean and Claire look over at Castiel who is talking with Sam) He's been through enough.

Gif credit @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs

Okay, this has such a beautiful meaning, and screams foreshadow too, because Claire knows how had was to Cas everything that happened to her and her family, but she also knows about Castiel being a human. And she sees him as a protector who needs to be protected too. And she, as a protector, feels identified with Dean's profile. Then, she knows Dean is like her. So she trust Dean to take care of the angel.

But Dean replied "SO HAVE YOU" , as a recall of himself.

There's a song playing talking about blue eyes crying in the rain, and meet that loved person again. It could fit with Claire, it could fit with Jimmy, but, if we take the quote YOU KEEP AN EYE ON HIM, knowing that Castiel will be possessed by Lucifer in season 11, and Dean will say I WAS JUST A WITNESS, we could speak about a LOVERS SEPARATION, thanks to Lucifer intrusion, and those blue eyes crying in the rain coul for perfectly with Castiel's depression, causing his YES to Lucy, and Dean could be that one longing for find him again, just like the song says.

The Betrayal

In episode 10x21 "Dark Dynasty" Dean finds out about Castiel and Sam's "affair".

This is a very sad episode, because Charlie dies. In a very bloody picture...

But let's talk about the "affaire"... Watch this dialogue...

DEAN: Wow.

SAM: Hey.

DEAN: Well, you look like crap on toast.

SAM: I just haven't . . . really been sleeping well.

DEAN: There's a woman you haven't mentioned?

SAM: A woman?

DEAN: Well, I'm just saying. You weren't here when I went to bed last night. You've been running off on your own a lot these past couple weeks.

And then... The weird call...

DEAN: Cas?

CASTIEL: Sam.

DEAN: No, it's Dean. What's up?

CASTIEL: Nothing. I'm just, uh . . . Just staying in touch. Like I do.

DEAN: Something on your mind?

CAS: No. This call is pointless. My ride's here. (Cas hangs up on Dean.)

Even Cas mistook Dean with Sam. Sastiel?

And the foreshadow I picked up at the beginning of this season...

Gif credit @agusvedder

So Yes, he caught Cas' and Sam cheating on him.

And then this scene, showing us Dean is about to find out...

ELDON: Were you here when I mentioned that we're underground? There are secrets.

DEAN: Well, I'm swell at uncovering secrets.

Pointing us he is good at uncovering secrets, and Cas and Sam working at his back, is like a red alert about to sound.

Finally, there were little quotes talking about the balance and disaster that should been repaired. As a premonition of CHUCK/AMARA LIGHT/DARKNESS YING/YANG. Balance. And of course, erasing the mark will release the darkness, and somehow the brothers will have to fix it.

To Conclude:

Both episode gave clues about the incoming season. The Mark of Cain vs what Dean really wants in his heart continues his inner war, showing us through different episodes that Dean wants, deep inside, explore the love he has inside for Castiel, and a better ending.

Charlie's death will release the monster inside of Dean, and we will have a lot of angsty situations (mostly Destiel) to talk about in the next and last chronicle from season 10.

I hope you like this one. See you soon!

Gentleman’s Magazine, 1791

Page 728: August 10. Mr. Urban, Col. Townley, in his “Journal in the Isle of Man, 1789,” just published, says, “I had often admired, with a kind of wonder, this green rings so often observable upon many dry heaths and commons in various parts of England, called by the common people Fairy rings; and one day determined, if possible, to find out the reason why they were gnarly seen in that circular form, and why too the grass growing upon them should b so distinguishable from that upon the surrounding turf by a richer or deeper tinge of green. I cut up several sods as del as the find mold raced, by which means I found several brown grubs, some moving, and some in a state of quietude; but the greatest number of them in motion, with their hands in the self-same direction as if they were pursuing each other. I found the soil under the rings to be var better pulverized than that under the surrounding heath, where there are no insects visible; and the state of the soil will easily account for the deeper rings of green in the grass growing upon them; but why those insects should so invariably work and move in a circular form is above my comprehension; therefore, will rely leave the staunch believers in fairy tales in full and peaceable erosion of their circular property.” I. 203. Yours, ect. P.Q.

Page 1073: Various Opinions on Fairy Rings recapitulated, 1085

Page 1085: Dec. 1. Mr. Urban, “To admire the works of Nature in her usual course is a laudable disposition; many content themselves with her ordinary operations only; but there is also an additional secret pleasure in contemplating her byways, or seeking to examine hr sportive aberrations.” Such, Mr. Urban, are the just remarks on the study of Nature made by a deceased respectable correspondent of yours in vol. LIX, p. 1187. The pleasure he describes I sensibly feel whilst attending to the investigation of the ‘Origin of Fairy rings,’ notwithstanding little progress towards discovery can be yet reported; but the unremitting observations of naturalists, and the communication between them afforded by your Magazine, will, I trust, in time produce the election of the mystery.

Concerning these appearances many hypotheses have been formed, and nearly as many overthrown. In your Miscellany the question was first brought forward by C. Berington, whose enquiry failed of meeting attention. It was reintroduced by J.M. (vol. LX, p. 710) in a letter rather singularly worded. J.M. says, these rings exist in a meadow at the back of his house, which “has ben in the same state full twenty years, except once polished about nineteen years ago, during which whole time the was been no alterations in the rings.” He then very gravely and earnestly appeals to the public, whether any “on will be so hardy as to assert they ever saw any cows, etc. etc. turning round” whilst expelling their dung or urine? But before this, J.M. affronts the memory of “our great dramatic Bard,” by imputing to him the folly of having entertained and encouraged a belief of the circles being really caused by Fairies. The existence of Fairies, Mr. Urban, is an elegant chimera, admirably applicable to the support and embellishment of several kinds of poesy. It is a fiction so truly poetical, and so particularly concordant with the excursive fancy of Shakespeare, that it is no wonder that that Child of Nature should avail himself of it, and interweave it in his dramas. The use he has put it to in his “Midsummer Night’s Dream” is similar to the use Pope has made of the Rosicrucian system in the “Rape of the Lock.” In other parts of his works Shakespeare has applied it in the way of embellishment, as two ingenious pots of the present day have done likewise in “The Village Curate,” and the poetical romance of “Arthur.” …. Mr. Pope, in his dedication to Mrs. Fermor, has implied his want of faith in Sylphs and Gnomes: but as the unknown author of “The Village Curate,” and Mr. Hole, the writer of “Arthur,” have not particularly implied any disbelief in the Fairy system, J.M. may possibly attribute to them the same absurdity as he has attributed to Shakespeare, and he may do it with as much reason.

There is no assertion, how inane soever, but what has its advocate. J.M. did not deem it possible that the assertion respecting the circular movements of cattle whilst evacuating their dung could find one; yet T.E. (p. 800) was hardy enough to stand forward in favor of it, though he does not go quite so far as to declare himself ever to have been an ocular witness of such an evolution, a circumstance indispensably necessary to proving a fact so ludicrously inconceivable. As T.E. suppose these circumlocutions to have been performed round scrubbing-posts, it  should be observed, that Fairy rings are too small ever to have had scurbbing posts for their cents; and that, according to that supposition, the files wherein Fairy rings abound must have had formerly, either at on or at different times, scrubbing posts in every part of them; an improbable case. Besides, the rings appear (as M.C. p. 1191, and D.D., vol. LXI, p. 3, have observed before me,) in places whereto cattle have not had access in the memory of man, or perhaps since the Conquest. No doubt these were the reasons which induced B.L.A. (vol. LX, p. 1193) to say, very unceremoniously, “I deny that Fairy rings have always a scrubbing post in their center; I never saw one in that predicament.” Notwithstanding this gentleman’s roughness, I agree with him.

T.L. and B. (pp. 1007, 1106,) both sententiously ascribe Fairy rings to the effect of lightning; the one quoting Dr. Priestley, and the other Mr. Jessop. Beseeching forgiveness of these four gentlemen for presuming to differ from them (which is being yet more hardy than T.E. before mentioned), I must confess, that I think they have promulgated a scientific prejudice whilst endeavoring to dispel a vulgar one. They are of a different kind; but philosophers have their prejudices as well as the commonality, and they are as tenacious of them. Mr. Jessop’s friend, Mr. Walker, might see a new circle immediately after a thunderstorm, for a fresh appearance might as probably attract his notice on a day on which a thunderstorm had happened as on any other day; but it might have appeared on that day, since a storm is no impediment to the rings appearing, tho’ the lightning does not cause them. On the contrary, I apprehend that the circle, observed by Mr. Walker, was brought out to view (as the painters term it) by the additional verdure which the rain had given to the surrounding herbage. Had Mr. Walker stooped to it, and perceived a smell of sulphur proceeding from it (as all substances blasted by lightning emit that effluvia), his evidence would have had weight. A fashion has existed some years, among the medical people, of attributing every complaint they could not comprehend to defective or disordered nerves. Philosophers and lecturers have fallen into a similar habit of ascribing every natural phenomenon they are incapable of accounting for to electric fire: in conformity to this system, Fairy rings have been called the effect of lightning. Did lightning cause them, we should see them upon corn, stubble, garden crops, etc; whereas they never appear (as I ever saw or heard) but upon greensward or clover aftermath. Did lightning cause them, they would be most numerous those years when there is most lightning, and vice versa; but the year present furnishes an instance of the contrary. During the three elapsed quarters lightning was neither particularly frequent or uncommonly violent; yet the additional number of Fairy rings which presents themselves to view at the usual time (July and August) of new ones appearing is (at least in my vicinity) greater than common.

C’s supposition (p. 1180) is amusing. Surely this writer never saw a Fairy ring, and as surely never noticed the dimensions given by J.M. Were we to substitute Fairies for Britons, we might, from his other words, imagine ourselves fellow inhabitants of Fairy land, since his ideas and expressions are more applicable to the children of Fancy than to those of Adam. Instructed by C, we might, from the appearance of a fresh circle, know as well when the Fairies had ben performing religious rites, or celebrating festive revels, as we do now when we perceive by scattered feathers and extinct ashes that a gang of Gypsies have had a luxurious regale under a hedge. But I most not trespass further on the province of the Antiquaris, to whom C. has, with all due deference, referred the digestion of his idea; and that with very great property, as the digestive powers of some of those gentlemen are entirely equal to the task.

Ants and moles have been mentioned; but the hillocks of these laborious beings would be seen invariably in the vicinity of the rings, did they occasion them. Ants ever affect dry places, and Fairy circles often appear in moist. Moles happen to work under them sometimes.

J.G. of Kendal, investigate the matter with great attention (vol. LXI, p. 336). He is exceeding exact in observing most of the visive circumstances incident to the circles, and reasons from these circumstances with great acuteness. I cannot say I am every way satisfied with his suggestions, though several of his remarks are just, and he is undoubtedly pursuing the right tract towards discovery; since the patient attention he is bestowing on the subject is the only clue existing to guide the research. It is only a long series of observations that can attain the desired end; but this is not a consideration to discourage a true Naturalist.

In one point I must set J.G. right; and, if he should find occasion, I hope he will do the same by me. He partly mistakes in saying, “marks of this kind are only to be met with on the sides of hills, and of sandy pasture, where the art is commonly poor and open.” That this is the case in Westmorland I make no doubt, because J.G. asserts it to be so; but in the South of England they are as often visible in flat, rich, moist meadows, and upon stiff blu and yellow olay, as anywhere else. I acknowledge that there is sometimes a small proportion of hungry sand, or sharp gravel, intermixed with the above clays, but the clay lies above either. J.G. has opportunity of observing whether Fairy rings exist upon peat mosses, and whether they appear, or are plentiful, on the surface of a soil replete with coal or mineral; and, if thy are seen at all in those situations, whether they differ in appearance from those on the sides of hills and sandy pastures. By ascertaining these points, a judgment may be formed of what depth of soil is necessary to the generation of Fairy rings, and whether the cause of them exists above or below the surface of the earth.

As I have professed myself dissatisfied with J.G.’s suggestions, it behooves me to offer others, though they may possibly be found exceptionable likewise.

It is my idea that, throughout the course of this investigation, the cause has hitherto been uniformly mistaken for the effect. I think that fungi are not the effect, but the primary cause of Fairy rings, an opinion ground on the following hypotheses:

The edible mushroom, and most of the other varieties of terrene fungi, arise spontaneously either in circles or in curvilinear lines; and the fungi which generates on the arms of ancient apple-tides discover a like tendency, by two or more of them frequently encircling the decaying arm. Hence it should seem, that the innate active principle in fungi possess an original predisposition to exert, extend, and increase itself, circularly. Moreover, if one fungus arises, and attains maturity, the different winds blow its seed around it, and that seed produces a circle of fungi the following year. If, during the diffusion of the seed, the wind happens to blow higher from one quarter than the rest, it conveys the seed to a greater distance, and forms a process issuing from out of the circular line. The circle is liable, moreover, to be intersected by other circles, formed by neighboring fungi in the same manner. J.G. says, “the cause that produces Fairy rings destroys the grass growing on them, root and stem.” Again, he says, “since each ring remains bare for a year, it is evident that something is lost which is necessary to the nutrition of plants; and therefore we have arrived at this conclusion, that this succession of withered tracks is occasioned by each track being successfully deprived of some principle of vegetation.” This conclusion of J.G.’s is just, and my hypothesis consistent with it. I argue, that the fungus spawn attracts and engrosses to itself all the terrestrial nutriment which before fed the plants that preoccupied the space; that, after producing the fungi of that year, this spawn extends itself beyond the first circle for the formation of another, leaving the space it filled before so exhausted of the saline, or other particles peculiarly essential to the vegetation and sustenance of fungi, that no more fungi can arise from it during a considerable period. The roots and seeds of grass then possess themselves of the vacancy, and, finding the earth highly meliorated by the rotten firs of the former grass, and the decay parts of the fungi, they readily establish themselves therein, and thrive so luxuriantly that the blade becomes rank, and is rendered further unpalatable by the strong taste and scent which it imbibes from the fungous manure which contributed to its growth, in like manner as early asparagus contracts a savor of the dung which forces it. The rapid attainment of fungi to maturity demonstrate the vegetative principles to be infinitely more active and powerful in fungi than in herbs. From this superiority in the vegetative principle it is reasonable to conjecture, that fungi attract and acquire a larger portion of terraqueous nourishment than vegetables do, and that, therefore, they for a time impoverish both earth and herbage wherever they exist; which hypothesis accounts for the destruction of the grass in the circles, and J.G.’s conclusion stands corroborated. The fungi are preyed upon in their turn by grubs and other insects (as is well known to the makers of ketchup), which accounts for grubs, etc. being found beneath the surface of the rings; a circumstance which has given rise to another error respecting the origin of the riles, insects having been taken for a cause instead of a consequence. It surprises me much, that so minutely (notwithstanding his consideration of brevity) as J.G. has descanted on the varied appearances of the rings, that he never has even once named fungi; for, though fungi are not at all times visible on them (this serves for an answer to M.C. vl. LX, p. 1191), yet on or more full crops arise invariably in Autumn, [Footnote: In the long and rich meadow at Islington, which leads to Canonbury, we recollect seeing, thirty or forty years ago, immense quantities of these rings, and fungi in all of them. Q. Do thy still exist there? Edit.] and a few at intermediate period. I regret that I have not an opportunity of examining Mr. Bolton’s treatise on fungi, as I suspect something illustrative of the origin of Fairy rings may be found in it.

I have not the self-sufficiency, Mr. Urban, to attempt imposing my hypothesis, concerning the origin of Fairy rings, on your readers for a confirmed, incontrovertible one: I am ready to relinquish it with pleasure whenever another, established by time and repeated observations, may be advanced. I have only remitted it for the purpose of turning the attention of the intelligent J.G. towards Fungi, and to assist the gentleman who, in one of your last numbers, has with so much goodwill expressed his readiness to follow up any hints that might be given him for promoting the desired discovery; an offer too acceptable to pass neglected.

A SOUTHERN FAUNIST.

P.S. The correspondent who sent the account of the lacerius vulgaris (vol. LXI, p. 816), has my thanks both for the attention he has honored my hint with, and for the communication concerning the above reptile; which communication supplies Mr. Pennant’s deficiency on that head, and removes an inconvenient prejudice.
