Note 9 — Chapter II · SAPRINI, DERMESTES AND OTHERS
Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
I shall mention but briefly the Necrophorus (N. vestigator, Herch.), whose feats I have described elsewhere.9 He comes to my apparatus, of course, but without making a long stay, the carcases being as a rule too large for his burying-methods. For that matter, I myself would thwart his enterprises if it did suit him. I want to see not burials but operations in the open air. If the sexton is persistent, I dissuade him by pestering him.
