I repeatedly fed them on raw meat; and I invariably observed, that every now arid then the extremity of the tail was applied to the mouth, and a drop of fluid exuded on the meat, which was then in the act of being consumed. The tail, notwithstanding so much practice, does not seem to be able to find its way to the mouth; at least the neck was always touched first, and apparently as a guide. When we were at Bahia, an elater (Vyrophorus luminosus, Illig.) seemed the most common

He was still on board the ship when she visited Bahia Blanca in August 1832, but had to stay behind in Montevideo when she sailed for Tierra del Fuego in December. Although he remained there until the Beagle returned from the south the following year, he was never fit enough to rejoin her. He made his way back to England, and died in London on 10 December 1838
