  The

  very

  three 
  

   thoracic 
  processes, 
  which 
  are 
  sometimes 
  long 
  and 
  horn-like,

   rise 
  to 
  the 
  local 
  name 
  "Ox-beetle."

  its 
  occurrence

  that 
  

   point

  is 
  accidental.

  Linn. 
  Throughout 
  the

  locally

   flies

  occasionally 
  in 
  

   swarms; 
  the 
  larva 
  is 
  sometimes 
  injurious 
  in 
  sod, 
  eating 
  off 
  the 
  roots 
  

   so 
  that 
  the 
  top 
  can 
  be 
  rolled 
  up 
  like 
  a 
  carpet.
