teresting " habits " remains to be seen ; they 

 appear to be peaceable little folk, remaining 

 quietly in the cracks and crevices of some rotten 

 wood during the day, and towards evening they 

 come forth to feed, and explore the bounds of 

 their domain. Their legs are so short they 

 cannot climb up the sides of the glass globe in 

 which they live ; it is therefore left open at the 

 top, so that I am able to watch all that goes on, 

 and may learn in time something of the life- 

 history of Lepisma.
