specimens of Helops aereu.s began to move about on the cards, trying to 

 free-their legs from the nearly dry shellac. Some chloroform poured into 

 the box helped the poor creatures into a better existence. This tenacity of 

 life is remarkable, as none of the other beetles, after having been in the 

 alcohol for some three hours, were found to be alive. There must be a sort 

 of respiratory receptacle under the elytra, analogous to that of certain 

 water-beetles. C. F. Gissler, Brooklyn, N. Y., May 7th, 1876.
