Q.$6 Phyfical and Mifcellaneous 



The Butterfly Thc moft cui'ious Specics of the Butterfly Kind, is near four 

 wn.gf."^^'^ Inches from one Tip of the Wing to the other, being all over 

 ) very beautifully ftreaked with murrey and yellow. Yet the 



Edges of the lower Wings are to be excepted, which being 

 indented and ending in a narrow Strip or Lappet of an Inch 

 long, are very elegantly bordered with yellow. Near the 

 Tail there is a Spot of a Carnation Colour. 

 'i-he hronJ The rarcft Species of the Lihella oxyddderholts, is one of three 

 Inches and a half long, broad tailed, of a rufty Colour, with 

 bright fpotted Wings. There is another of the fame Size , 

 but of a more cylindrical Body, differing little in Colour from 

 the common Locuft. 

 T*. Unicorn The kaft frequent of the Beetle Kind, is a Species with one 

 Beetle. Hom , of the Colour and Size of a Chefnut. The Head is 

 notched round or indented, and the Feet are broad like thofe 

 of the Gryllo-Talpds. The lefler Naftcor?ies are every where 

 met with, as alfo a Diverlity oiRlaflic Beetles. 

 The Mantes. To that Species of Locufts, which are called Mantes by the 

 Naturalifts, I am to add one of three Inches long, of a brown 

 Colour, with the Fore Legs armed with Itrong horny Claws. 

 There is another of the fame Size of the cucuUated Kind, which 

 hath the upper Wings ftreaked with a light green, and the 

 membranaceous ones finely chequered with flefli, brown and 

 fcarlet Colours : befides a third Species of two Inches long, 

 with elegant green Wings. But the chief Charafterifticks of 

 the latter, are two ^ntennce^ which project, like a couple of 

 Feathers, from the Forehead. 

 The Locufts. I never obferved the Mantes to be gregarious; but the Lo- 

 cufts properly fo called, which are fo frequently mentioned, 

 by facred as well as prophane Writers , are fometimes fo be- 

 yond Exprefllon. Thofe which I faw Ann. 1714-. and 1715-. 

 were much bigger than our common Grafshoppers, having brown 

 TC./r/r7?^^- fpotted Wings, with Legs and Bodies of a bright yellow. Their 

 feat^nc. ^^^ Appcarancc was towards the latter End of March, the 

 Wind having been for fome time foutherly ; and in the Mid- 

 dle of April their Numbers were fo vaftly increafed, that in 

 the Heat of the Day, they formed themfelves into large Bo- 

 dies, appeared like a Succeflion of Clouds , and darkened the 

 Thehfmgavi^ViXi. About thc Middle oi May ^ when their Ovaries were 

 'ltfrElgs( turgid, each of Thefe Bodies began gradually to difappear, re-
