In a research study where the rats were fitted with radio- tracking equipment, individuals had a home range of about which overlapped slightly with that of its neighbours.

One the latter's grand-daughters, Maria Elena Amador Valerio, married Guillermo F. Pérez-Argüello, the oldest great-grand son of Doña Angélica Balladares de Argüello (1872-1973), who was Pres.

Pierrot was not Baptiste's only creation. As Robert Storey, one of the most assiduous students of the mime's repertoire, has pointed out, Deburau performed in many pantomimes unconnected with the Commedia dell'Arte: > He was probably the student-sailor Blanchotin in Jack, l'orang-outang > (1836), for example, and the farmhand Cruchon in Le Tonnelier et le > somnambule ([The Cooper and the Sleepwalker] late 1838 or early 1839), and > the goatherd Mazarillo in Fra-Diavolo, ou les Brigands de la Calabre > ([Brother Devil, or The Brigands of Calabria] 1844). He was certainly the > Jocrisse-like comique of Hurluberlu (1842) and the engagingly naïve recruit > Pichonnot of Les Jolis Soldats ([The Handsome Soldiers] 1843).Storey, > Pierrots on the stage, p. 10.

Popugaev, with Nikolai Grech, Ivan Born and others, formed a literary society which had its first session on July 15, 1801. On November 26, 1803 the group was officially recognized and chartered as the St. Petersburg Free Society of Lovers of Literature, Science, and the Arts. The Society was originally formed simply as a venue for members to pursue their own literary education and learning, but the interests of some founders – Popugaev in particular, but also Born – also ran toward the socio- political, and some of the Society's lectures took on political overtones. Popugaev was in these early years the soul of the Society: he was its First Secretary, its censor, its most assiduous recruiter of new members, and its most active speaker and worker on the Society's publications.

The 1844 Act recognised the property rights of Unitarians to the places of worship that they had used for 25 or more years previously. Thornely, who was among the most assiduous attendees in the House of Commons, stood down from the House of Commons at the 1859 general election, being by then aged 78 and suffering from poor health. The Wolverhampton Chronicle noted at his death on 4 May 1862 that he was "Not of brilliant [political] talent, yet his various knowledge on all subjects connected with the extensive commerce of the empire seldom left him at a loss in the House of Commons how to make his opinions respected." Another obituary noted that Perhaps Thornely's last political act had been to arrange for his interment in his family's vault at the Renshaw Street burial ground.

James was known for his fine manners, his elegant dress, and his gallantry. His brother, Anthony Hamilton, describes him in the Mémoires du comte de Grammont as follows (translated by Horace Walpole): > The elder of the Hamiltons, their cousin, was the man who of all the court > dressed best: he was well made in his person, and possessed those happy > talents which lead to fortune, and procure success in love: he was a most > assiduous courtier, had the most lively wit, the most polished manners and > the most punctual attention for his master imaginable: no person danced > better, nor was any one a more general lover: a merit of some account in a > court entirely devoted to love and gallantry. An admirer of the Countess of Chesterfield, his first cousin, he carried on a romance with her by turning her husband's suspicion on the Duke of York, the future King James II, only to discover that York was courting her as well. He was appointed groom of the bedchamber on 28 October 1664.

Depiction by David Gilmour Blythe, 1863 Upon their release from Libby a group of Union surgeons published an account in 1863 of their experiences treating Libby inmates in the attached hospital: > Thus we have over ten per cent of the whole number of prisoners held classed > as sick men, who need the most assiduous and skilful attention; yet, in the > essential matter of rations, they are receiving nothing but corn bread and > sweet potatoes. Meat is no longer furnished to any class of our prisoners > except to the few officers in Libby hospital, and all sick or well officers > or privates are now furnished with a very poor article of corn bread in > place of wheat bread, unsuitable diet for hospital patients prostrated with > diarrhea, dysentery and fever, to say nothing of the balance of startling > instances of individual suffering and horrid pictures of death from > protracted sickness and semi-starvation we have had thrust upon our > observation. They said that prisoners were always asking for more food and that many were only half clad. Newly arriving prisoners who were already ill often died quickly, even in one night.
