Excerpt from The Canadian Entomologist, 1892, Vol. 24

Dr john Hamilton, of Alleghany, Pa., on the other hand, found, as related in his interesting paper in can. Ent., XVII, p. 35, that he could not revive specimens of Coleoptera which were unquestionably frozen, though some larvae inclosed in cylinders of ice were still found to be flexible, and' regained activity on a rise of temperature.

Though Dr. Hamilton's experience was decidedly against the theory that actual freezing does not necessarily cause death in insects, he still admits that a good deal of evidence has been adduced on the other side, and that records of the survival of frozen insects cannot be summarily dismissed.
