ASIA. 1751. 125 



ihip-bread fome worms had lived ever fince the 

 beginning of May, and they now were of the 

 following figure : the larva was white, fome- 

 what hairy, and had a briftly tail : the fore pare 

 was flat ; the hind part cylindrical : the three 

 pair of feet were yellowiih, and fixed near 

 the head : the body has twelve articulations, 

 the head included. The whole head, with 

 the next articulation, and the tail, are dark 

 brown: the jaws are prominent : the antenna 

 fhort and fetaceous, I have alfo found 

 fmooth ones, lefs than the former, of a light 

 brown colour, and middling ones likewife 

 fmooth. The head and tail of the latter was 

 brown : but the former was not pun&ated ; 

 and the articulation neareft to the head was 

 not brown as in the former. Perhaps thefa 

 are only varieties arifing from different ages.
