Insect Longevity. 



Two or three instances have come under my observation during the 

 last twenty years, of most remarkable longevity in wood-boring species 

 of Coleoptera, and especially of those belonging to the Longicornia ,• 

 only one of which I will relate here, because it is the latest, and only 

 reached its final development in the month of October 1876, or rather 

 the denouement only occured near the end of that month. 



In 1861, Mr. John Best, of this city, purchased a Cabinet Sewing 

 Machine, the agent for the sale of which was then occupying prem- 

 ises of which I was the leaser, so that I am certain as to the year. Mr. 

 Best has had the machine in his possession from that period up to 

 the present time, and still possesses it. Very frequently during that 

 long interval, and especially during last year, he, his wife and his 

 family, heard a "ticking," or "clicking" noise, inside of the ma- 

 chine or in proximity to it, when it was not in motion ; which they 

 attributed to the ominous " Death-watch," which is said to be caused 

 by species of Anobium; but I suppose any wood-boring species would 

 produce a similar noise in penetrating hard wood, of which the se- 

 quel will be an illustration.
