Batrachian and other footprints from the Coal Measures of Joggins, N.S.
and now
Batrachian. We didn't see the connection right away.
Through the long winter it lies--a solid crystal almost--under the accumulating weight of many snows, barren of all life save that which, like itself, waits for the summer's sun to warm it into tardy being and bring with the rank green fringe its swarms of
batrachian young."
Batrachian Spirits and Senor Frog's restaurant chain have expanded the distribution of Senor Frog's Tequilas, available in Plata and Reposado styles.
More immediately dangerous was
batrachian squeak Gaunt's promise to "give Galloway a good slapping" (repeated thrice) in the boxing ring for charity.
He was not interested in the bold expressive gesture, and the only work that could be described as taking part in such rhetoric is Woman Leaning on Her Hands, 1905, but even that figure is too tiny to carry the abnormal pathos with which it is charged, and it ends up a kind of wriggling
batrachian.) Matisse's attention to movement, it should be noted, has nothing at all to do with representing it as such.
The Scottish poet Norman MacCaig also extends the tradition (launched by Shelley) of characterising the critic by having recourse to animal imagery: the first verse of "An Academic" (A Man in My Position) depicts him sitting like a lowly
batrachian at his "fat desk" (1): "you're the tone-deaf man / in the orchestra, you're the frog / who wouldn't a-wooing go" (2-4).
This arcane 'sport', MC-ed by an outrageous purser called Geoff Shallcross, uses wooden
batrachian cut-outs manipulated by strings pulled by passengers or crew.

batrachian in suggestion--which one could not dissociate from a certain haunting and uncomfortable sense of pseudo-memory, as if they called up some image from deep cells and tissues whose retentive function are wholly primal and awesomely ancestral.
The reptiles and
batrachians of Gorgona Island, Colombia.
Their presence is widespread both in the vegetable kingdom (N,N-dimethyltryptamine or DMT found in Amazonian lianas), the fungi (psilocybine in fungi of the genus Psilocybe) and even the animal (bufotenine isolated from the skin of
batrachians of the genus Bufus) (Dolengevich-Segal, Gomez-Arnau Ramirez et al, 2015).
