Abstract
Referring to my reply to Prof. S. P. Thompson (Nature. July 29), concerning fire-fly light, I can confirm what then I wrote. Mr. H. Muraoka has sent to me from Kioto in Japan a letter from which I derive the following particulars. (1) In the neighbourhood of Kioto there are about nine kinds of Luciolæ, which Mr. H. Muraoka continues improperly to call, in German, Johanniskäfern. (2) The insects used by him were probably Luciola vitlicollis and Luciola picticollis (Kiesenn).
