On removing the head of a _Lucciola_, this intermitting light _immediately_ ceased; but the other-the permanent, steady, and equable light-remained unchanged, and was not extinguished for from _sixty_to_seventy_hours_after_the_death_of_the_insect_, unless the body was immersed in oil or alcohol, which extinguished it presently. We found, that though oil and alcohol quickly extinguished the light, it became suddenly much brighter when fading, by plunging the insect into hot water; but we did not find that it could be restored when it had once _entirely_ ceased, by this or any other means, as some French naturalists have affirmed; and as to its exploding a jar of hydrogen, as others have written, we disbelieve it, because the temperature of the insect is far too low.
