One of the tutors at great university according
to THE Dundee Advertiser, wrote to the leadln8
newspaper of the city to the following erect
walking in the dusk through the grounds OF the
university the other evening my attention was ar
rested by a low murmuring sound near me which
was neither hiss a whistle. On looking
saw creature lying the ground larger than
cricket. Two antenns-uke protuberances projected
above the eyes. II had wings; and the cover
ing of it's body variegated though certainly
not like down. Mindful Of the danger to myself
1 did not venture to turn it on its back so as to
count the legs On the ground lay small quantity
of srow-white substance. which had evidently
exuded from the body Can any OF your readers
identify the creature from this imperfect descrp-
tion?" The government naturalist fell into the trap
-baited probably, especially for him. He wrote
IearnedIy about various insects, and concluded
that the observed must be one Of two whose
long Latin names he gave. The antenna-like pro-
tuberances are used for burrowing in the ground.
and these insects secrete fluid which they have
TIE power of ejecting to protect themselves in
case of attack. The tutor wrote again TO thank
the naturalist for his information, and to say he
need not trouble him further, he had fortunately
observed the creature again more closely under
exactly similar circumstances. and was able now to
identify it himself the Vacca vulgaris, or COM
mon COW.
