Unless the heat has been sufficient to coagulate the albumen, carbonate of ammonia subsequently induces aggregation.

Small animals entering the narrow orificebut what induces them to enter is not known any more than in the case of Utriculariawould find their egress rendered difficult by the sharp incurved hairs on the lips, and as soon as they passed some way down the neck, it would be scarcely possible for them to return, owing to the many transverse rows of long, straight, downward pointing hairs, together with the ridges from which these project.
