“¢ who all defired to fee it fed, fo

“© This produced innumerable and 
<< improbable reports, making it 
as large as the crown of a hat, 
“ &c. &c. This I hope will ac- 
count for my not giving you par- 
ticulars more worth your notice. 
When I firft read the account in 
the papers of toads fucking can- 
cerous breafts, I did not believe 
a word of it, not thinking it pof 
fible for them to fuck, having 
no lips to embrace the part, and 
a tongue fo addiy formed; but as 
“ the fact is thoroughly verified, I 
moft impatiently long to be fully 
informed of all particulars re- 
«¢ Jating to it.” 
Notwithftanding thefe accounts 
will ferve to point out fome errors I 
had adopted, in refpect to this reptile 
in my firft fheet, yet it is with much 
pleafure I lay before the public a 
more authentic hiftory, collected 
from Mr. Arfeoté’s fecond favor; 
the anfwer points, out my queries, 
which it is needlefs to repeat.
