"I never knew scientists could rise to such occasions. Old Mangum orally labelled and classified Goodloe and myself easily among the lowest orders of the vertebrates; and in English, too, without going any further into Latin than the simple references to Orgetorix, Rex Helvetii--which is as far as I ever went, myself. And he told us that if he ever caught us around his house again he would add us to his collection."
Orgetorix appears on first page of Caesar's Commentaries, but dies, perhaps by suicide, before the second page. Humor, but I can't explain the joke.
