able to increafe their bulk and reitore parts which have been 
d. ttroyed, extremely tenacious of life, and the inhabitants of moiít 
places. Many of them are withont diilinct head, and moft of thera 
without feet. They are principally diltinguithed by their zentazu/a 
or feelers. 
By the Ancients they were not improperly called imperfect ani- 
mas, as being deftitute of ears, 2/2, bead, eyes and hri ; and are 
therefore totally diitin& from Iufects, 
They are divided in to five Orders.

live, fome of them within other animals, 
fome in waters, and a ícw in the earth. 
The Gerdius perforates clay to give a pase 
fage to fprings and water; the Lumbriews 
pierces the earth, that it may be expofed 
to the action of the air and motíture : in 
like manner, the Zeredo penetrates wood, 
and the Phisas and Mytijus rocks, to ete 
their diffolution, © 
Il. MOLLUSCA. Are naked, furnifhed with tentacula or 
arms, for the moít part inhabitants of the 
fea; and by their phofphoreous quality, 
illuminate the dark abyís of waters, re- 
Bc&ing their lights to the firmament Thus 
what is beneath the water correfponds 
with that which is above.
