Professor Lanciani then spoke of the discovery of 14000 pieces of prehistoric remains, all of which are being collected and placed in a museum. In a few slides he then presented the remains of the regal period still to be traced on the Palentine...

The fangs of snakes are also curious things, those of the water-moccasin being the largest and most deadly. They lie hid in two sacs in the roof of the mouth, and are hidden, when the snake is quiet, like a cat's claws. The snake has regular noxillaries like any other carnivore, though it does not masticate its food. The fangs are only used when the beast is angry...
