BURY, is sometimes used to denote the hole or den of some animal under ground. In this sense we say the bury of a mole, a tortoise, or the like. The grillo-talpa, or mole-cricket, digs itself a bury with its fore-feet, which are made broad and strong for that purpose. Naturalists speak of a kind of urchins in the island of Maraguan, which have two entries to their buries, one towards the north, the other to the south, which they open and shut alternately, as the wind happens to lie.
