This may have been partly owing to their size, and partly to their splen dour; but still more likely to the celebrity of the 'hnom'agog, or Scarabd'us pilularz'us of the an cients, -an insect which from the singularity of its form and manners, became even an object of ve neration and worship with the ancient Egyp tians.
