  REPORT 
  OF 
  NEW 
  JERSEY 
  STATE 
  MUSEUM. 
  

  

  the 
  State. 
  Sometimes 
  it 
  occurs 
  in 
  bureau 
  drawers 
  among 
  linen, 
  

   where 
  its 
  appearance 
  excites 
  apprehensions 
  of 
  parasites. 
  They 
  can 
  

   be 
  easily 
  distinguished 
  from 
  the 
  slow, 
  crawling 
  parasites 
  by 
  their 
  

   rapid 
  gait 
  and 
  long 
  feelers. 
  Naphthaline 
  or 
  camphor 
  will 
  keep 
  them 
  

   out, 
  or 
  drive 
  them 
  off 
  where 
  they 
  have 
  become 
  established.

  Linn. 
  Occurs 
  through- 
  

   out 
  the 
  State. 
  This 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  

   those 
  forms 
  known 
  as 
  the 
  

   "death 
  watch" 
  from 
  the 
  belief 
  

   that 
  it 
  produces 
  the 
  ticking 
  

   sound 
  often 
  heard 
  in 
  old 
  

   houses 
  during 
  the 
  quiet 
  of 
  the 
  

   night, 
  and 
  it 
  was 
  supposed 
  to 
  

   portend 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   inmates. 
  It 
  has 
  the 
  same 
  gen-
