 which the animal ftrikes into the bud, or ftalk, on which it feeds :

In the hind part of its body this Animalcule has two parts, or or- 

 ga'ns, thicker in the middle than at the ends, which are curioufly 

 covered with round fcales, placed in exaft order befide each othef 

 thereon, as fhewn at C and B, and from thefe organs I often faw a 

 fmall drop of very tranfparent liquor ilTue, as lliewn at B. This fmall 

 drop exhibited a very pleafant fpedacle to me, for, when removed 

 a little further from the microfcope, it had the effe6l of another mi- 

 ox-ofcope, fliewing the objects, as houfes, fteeples, and the like, in- 

 verted, and fo minute and delicate in their appearance, that could 

 fcarcely be believed. When this drop of liquor was emitted from 

 one of the organs, B or C, I faw that the organ from which it if- 

 fued was immediately drawn in towards the animal's body.

 faftened when the drawing was made. 



Fig. 30, is the fame Animalcule, of the lize it was when changed 

 into a fly. 



While the limner was employed in making the above drawing, I 

 dilTedled fome more of thefe Animalcules, and having taken out fome 

 of the unborn young ones, I placed the moft perfedl one of them 

 before a microfcope, and caufed a drawing to be made of it, which 

 is fhewn at Jig, 31, OP: this animal's body appeared to be covered 

 with a membrane, but the limner could not copy in his drawing all 

 the parts which were to be feen, becaufe the moifture of it in a very 

 fliort time evaporated, and thereby the fhape was altered. I alfo 

 gave the limner another microfcope, before which I had placed eight 

 unborn Animalcules, in all which the eyes could plainly be feen, 

 and of thefe he made as corred a drawing as he was able, which is 

 Ihewn at fg. 32, Q R S. 



In fg. 28, at F, I have fliewn one of the curious eyes of this 

 Animalcule, but meeting with one of the put-ofF Ikins, in which
