Abstract
LAST night I rescued a frog from the claws of a cat, and, to my great surprise, it turned, and, after gazing at me for a few seconds, jumped slightly towards me, halting after each leap and looking up into my face. It thus gradually approached, and in about two or three minutes had actually climbed upon one of my feet. Its mute appeal for protection was most remarkable, and could not possibly be misunderstood.
