The dry weather has lasted five weeks this day. Just rain enough to discolour the pavements. Myriads of minute frogs, encouraged by those few drops of rain, migrate from the ponds & pools where they were hatched. Hence it appears that severe frost doth not interrupt the hatching & growth of young frogs.
