Note 2533 — BOOK IX. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF FISHES.
John Bostock translation
It is very true, Cuvier says, that the tail of the gecko and lizard will grow again after it has been cut off, but without vertebræ. As to the arms of the polypus, he says, it is very possible, seeing that the horns of the snail, which belongs to the same family, will grow again.
