_Slow-worm Superstition._--Could any of your correspondents kindly inform
me whether there is any foundation for the superstition, that if a
slow-worm be divided into two or more parts, those parts will continue to
live till sunset (life I suppose to mean that tremulous motion which the
divided parts, for some time after the cruel operation, continue to have),
and whether it exists in any other country or county besides Sussex, in
which county I first heard of it?
