K,,,. 44. _ Enlarged figures of the bee, from Francesco Stelluti's " Persio tradotto," 

 Rome, 1630. This plate, based on the work of Cesi, drawn by Fontana, and con- 

 taining observations by Faber and Stelluti, is probably the earliest published draw- 

 ing made by means of the compound Microscope which has come down to us. Cesi's 

 own figures have probably disappeared.
